Thinking of heading to Guntersville

[voeller101]

I love to throw the XR-50's at Guntersville. One problem I've had, and I wonder if anyone shares this problem, is that when the one-knocker version came out, I bought several of them and the eyes would come off usually within half an hour of throwing the things. Nothing like paying 6 or 7 dollars for a lure and then stuff starts falling off within a few casts!
Maybe it was just my bad luck. Been known to have some.

Don't know what part of the lake you plan on going to but I would pick a place like South Sauty or Seibold. Both are fairly large bays with a mixture of grass, bridge pilings, riprap and docks.

This is a not a hi-jack and is good info for anyone fishing Lake G. Use braid if you like it but whatever you do throw that lipless crank on a stiffer rod. You will be popping that R-Trap style bait out of the grass constantly. I visited last May for the first time. I used mostly my loomis CB847 crankbait rod and my Loomis MBR 843 with the exact lipless cranks in the exact colors noted earlier. This is serious grass and you need stout rod and ideally braid to pop that bait loose.

This lake I found to be very different the KYL but not Lake Okeechobee different. Move until you find fish. We lucked into one spot that saved our trip. Big bass in that lake but it feels very different then KYL.

Read the fishing reports on " the bass fishing home page " for Alabama . Just do a search an you'll find it . Before your trip start to read the reports an you can get an idea of what's going on ,even go back a year or the same months your going an read old reports .Also several guides regularly post there an if you need 1 you can get that imformation as well . I've finnaly learned that going a little later ,April , will caught me more fish , but the big 1'ns do bite in Feb. if you can find them .That's a heck of a lake forsure .Careful on the weather as the lake can be very dangeruos . Intimadateing .
