End of April 2016

Guntersville Bass Guides 256-698-6593

As we come to the end of April I can only think about the grass topping out and big schools of bass getting buried up in it and them thumping a jig... But we are still dealing with a lot of fishing pressure and a shad spawn that most of the bass have no clue its happening, each morning we have been fishing shallow grass points with 4x4 swim jigs with little spankys on the back to catch some bass that are feeding up on some shad then as it gets later in the morning we back out a little and keep fishing the moving baits till we stop getting bites then we slow way down and drag a lizard or b bug it all depends on the mood of the bass. This bite will not last much longer so be ready for the bass to make yet another change in what they are doing..

We had a corp trip early in the week and it was one of the best days ive seen on the lake all year. We put the hammer down on them.. When I say it was like old times it was exactly like the old times I was able to run to areas that looked alike and pull up and my customers would just go to catching them and we would pick up and go somewhere else and repeat..

And I am glad we took advantage of them acting normal because the rest of the week it was back to grinding on them and working to get a bite....

We did manage these two on our last day of our trip.. we lost 2 just like these (hate to even write it ) but it happen.

Have a few days open in May and more in June if ledge fishing is on your to do list then give me a call so we can go out and catch some in June.

Lake Guntersville 256-698-6593

We had a great week of fishing!

We caught them a few different ways and we caught seme good ones too.
when we fished shallow we looked for clay points and used Texas Rigged Netbait Lizards with a 1/4 oz tungsten Green pumpkin was the color of choice. And in mid depth we used 1/2 oz Shock Blades with big spankys as trailers working the 4-6 foot range in the grass if you could find some wood it was even better then deepest we was able to get some bites was the 8-10 foot range was Kevin Hawk football jig by 4x4 1/2oz in green pumpkin with paca craw on the back dragging it around on points with a stump or two.

The lake is about to come alive with the warming temps we all have been waiting on this place is going to be a blast for the next couple of months. Have a few days open in May and June has more open so give me a call to get your bass on!

Lake Guntersville April 11th

Guntersville Bass Guides 256-698-6593

Fishing has had its ups and downs this year and this week is no different. With them trying to spawn and mother nature keeping the cold fronts rolling in and the bass keep moving around its no wonder the fishing is hard.

The best we have done is to get shallow and throw a 4x4 swimjig with a little spanky and cover water..... yea its not rocket science but its productive and the worst part is im not catching anything on places ive fished in the past its all new areas and its not all bad just have to learn them like I have my old stuff.. Kinda sad in a way I think all the places where we have crushed them they are not using ... oh well time to make some new memories.

water temps 59-61
water clarity 4 feet in some areas and dingy in others

Maybe next week I can tell you a fish story!

till then have fun fishing.

Spawn is ON!

Guntersville Bass Guides 256-698-6593

Lake Guntersville fishing is just that fishing the bucks are biting and the big females are being a little stubborn but are biting.

Just following them as they get shallower and shallower and casting B BUGS and ShockBlades and catching a good amount of bass on a full day even with all the boat traffic from the big bass splash...
