The pendulum has swung, and the bass are running to the fall patterns, from the beginning of the week to the end this past week numbers were way up, size was getting better and results were great! Our long-extended heat and summer conditions finally ended, and we will see some ...

What is generally a great time of year is being over-powered by extreme heat and seasonally unprecedented averages way above normal. The daily catch this time of year is really-down as the bass remain extremely subdued by the lack of oxygen in the water. Sure, we are having ...

Heres an update for Lake Guntersville :
Water temp was 77 degrees in the mornings and the Most recent is 82 at the beginning of the day,
TVA keeps fluctuating the water .. And that is hurting the frog bite. A lot of it is from the rain we just had but dang. ...

The beginning of the week was completely different than the end of the week, at least for me. We went from normal fall water levels to high levels with TVA spilling water because of the strong rains. By the end of the week the lake was muddy, and my frog bite had eroded to a ...

I believe we have reached the prime time for the frog bite, its good, there’s grass-mat activity and there are enough opportunities to feel comfortable that you can catch fish and get enough blow-ups to make a day of it. We had several good solid 5 to 6-pound fish strike our ...

Not much change this past week as fishing remains spot specific on Guntersville; if you in the right spot at the right time you can have a great day. If not your casting and not catching and hence searching for that right location.


As far as bait selection ...

September on Lake Guntersville... Is already fishing better then August, for as long as I have fished here September has always been the struggle month and this year its showing signs of being unbelievably one of the best months.. Why ??? No Clue ... But we will take it.. ...

Guntersville remains very spotty, as being at the right place at the right time seems to be the theme that continued last week. The change is that everyday we are seeing more big bait balls gathering in the back waters especially late in the evening; giving a strong feeling ...

Make no mistake about it the lake is going through a tough period, where being at the right place at the right time is key to success. We’ve gotten into a period of extreme late summer heat and its taking its toll on the number of bites your getting. Luck is key to a good day; ...

The good the bad and the ugly, the cooling temperatures helped, the east wind didn’t! Have no fear though changes up and down the weather scale will help improve the fishing every day. I believe we will have one of the best falls in many years as there is lots of fish.
...

It appears we are heading into a cooler period than normal with night-time temperatures dropping into the 60’s; this should bring us an early frog bite and move the fall fishing ahead of some of the past seasons. Look for the fall bite to bring us some great fishing earlier ...

Make no mistake about it, fish are being caught and mid-August isn’t bad at all, in fact 10 to 15 fish for a 4-hr. trip is a pretty good hot summer day. Now that you back to school and planning some time off Guntersville can offer some summer time fun!


Baits ...

Its starting to look like things are lining up.. Lake Guntersville is getting herself back together after a slow down a couple weeks ago.. Still a lot of moving going on as the bass are trying to figure out what they want.. But one thing is for sure the big ones are still there ...

If you have done some scanning in the past couple of weeks you will have noticed that the Thermo-cline that had the fish set at certain depths is gone. The result is the bass have moved and are now at different depths then they were when the thermo-cline was easily recognized ...
