Lake Guntersville

Lake Guntersville was doing great leading up to a harsh cold front and it took the water from 60 down to 50 degrees In most areas.. And now I am seeing 73 degrees in the back of creeks and 65 on the main river.

Are the bass bedding??
Yes some are and a lot ...

Today I got to take a couple of great friends from Kentucky out for a day of fishing on the "Big-G". With the last few days being as tough as they were we decided to stay with deeper grass all day and that decision turned out to be the right one to make. The Producer ...

The past few days has produced some solid fish, but also we've had to deal with some strong wind conditions through out the day on each trip. This has made focusing on one area very difficult, and throw in the floating eel grass in most of these areas that just adds to the difficulty. ...

This past week we saw the biggest improvement of the year, the numbers were good the size was good and the pure opportunities missed or caught improved drastically. This all added up to the best week of the year from a guide perspective, I was able to keep the customer excited ...

The fishing yesterday was just plain ole tough. We were able to get a few fish on some deeper grass areas with Producer Swimbaits and Rat-L-Traps but struggled to get any numbers or quality. Today was a different story with my client and I catching several quality fish in an ...

Today was just another tough day on the Big-G". I had a Father and Son for an all day trip and it was DANG tough all day. We did a lot of moving around today and was able to catch a few in some of the areas we stopped to fish. We focused on deeper eel grass in 8-10 ft. ...

The extreme cold kept me off the water most of this past week, either my customers changed their fishing date or I moved some things around. I guess I am just not as tough as I use to be and being out on the water in 20 degree temperatures with a strong northwest wind is not ...

I had a couple of trips today on the "Big-G". The first one was mainly a scouting trip to learn a few areas to focus on for this gentlemans trip here next week. We did fish for a little while but with the water temps in the mid to upper 50's we had no success in the ...

My Golly Gosh it was just "DANG COLD" this morning. We had north winds, light rain, sleet, snow, and more north winds! I've fished colder, but these north winds can just cut right through you at times. We still caught several fish around shallow grass to help these ...

With the up and down weather, change was constant for me; it went from warm too cold to windy and high pressure as all those elements changed all week long so did the fishing. The thing is this is very typical this time of year so dealing with constant change is something all ...

What a difference a little "Sunshine" can make for a day of fishing on the "Big-G". Yesterday I had a 4 hr. trip that turned out to be tough with the cold winds, but we were still able to put a few fish in the boat with 3/4 oz. Rat-L Traps. Today I had a ...

The storm came in last night and caused a lot more trash and dead eel grass to float around on the lake, and with the water being down "once again" this made fishing a lot of areas just "DANG DIFFICULT"! "BUT" we did manage to find a few areas that ...

A nice combo for today! Have fun, Mike Carter ...

Lake Guntersville is about to show the world just how awesome she is.. The Bass are slowly filtering up from the depths. We have a FULL MOON next week and I'm not saying some won't go on bed but I think this will get them staging in a big way. Water temps have been keeping around ...

We went from late April type weather back to normal temps with cold nights and 50‘s during the day, that change definitely had some effect on the fishing. I personally worked through the changed and kept in touch with the fish; I believe I was just lucky.
