Guntersville Wants To be Good…. again

November 10, 2021 by Capt. Jim

Well This Has Not Been A Great November so far. It just seems off like the lake is stuck in a hard transition and we just can’t break out of it. We normally see this type of stuff in September. Water temps are still pretty high 61-65 have been the range I like to see them lower but we have to play the cards that we are dealt.

So fish are being caught some days are better then others and if size doesn’t bother you then you can catch numbers pretty easy ( just remember size is down) now for the bigger ones they are few and far between.

Now these guys had a great trip to Guntersville! They fished hard everyday and didn’t know how to give up, and that is what it takes to put fish in the boat just a lot of casting and laughing.

Things are looking like we need a some cold weather to kick these bass into some fall feeding , yeah theres some feeding happening but its no where near what I am use to, so it is a waiting game!

Fishing In July On Guntersville Is Hot

July 26, 2020 by Capt. Jim

July Is Finishing Up Strong With Big Bass After A Awesome Start With Big Numbers. The Heat Has Not Been Playing Around.. its hot and difficult to be out on the lake most days, no wind plenty of gnats. The wind is your friend right now on Lake Guntersville and thats what keeps them gnats out of your face..

Bass are not everywhere (whats new) and when you find them its a good time. Most fish are coming from the 12-25 foot range with some a little deeper. We have been averaging 20 fish mornings but we have had a slow day mixed in but the size is better on those days, its been depending on if we can fish a area because of the floating grass.

Grass is looking good and the promise of a good froggin year could be possible. So if you love to frog fish this could be your year!

Water Temps: Seen as low as 83 high as 94 just depends on the time of day and part of the lake you are in. Water Clarity is 3-6 in most parts.

We have had some great top water days already with more to come. 4×4 Jigs and Ledge Hammer has been getting the job done most days for us with Netbait C-Mac & Paca Craws.

Heres Some Pics Enjoy.

On to August.

Its Ledge Time

May 18, 2020 by Capt. Jim

It Was A Fun Week On Guntersville, The Bites Improved Daily With The Warmer Weather Big Bites Was What Was Going Down. The Bass Have Been Feeding Up Hard Our Bites Have Been Vicious. What Can I Say We Had Fun.

Water temps have finally gotten to the mid 70’s and its May 18th and the clarity is prefect at least 2 feet and the floating grass is still a thing.. If Mother Nature would just let the wind blow from the same direction the grass wouldn’t be an issue.

Are They “OUT”? Yes and no a few are out on the ledges but it won’t be long till there will be an onslaught of them out. Should be a good time. We do need to keep the warm weather coming for this to happen. So the ledge fishing that we have done it has been with 4×4 Ledge Hammers and your favorite big worm. Below is a Screen Shot from Lowrance HDS LIVE With 3 in 1 Active Imaging Transducer.

So Saturday …. What happen … No clue other then the wind went from a 3 day south to a north east , the bite got tough can’t explain it wish I could but it went down hill, Sunday was a little better . And I want to share something with everyone.. If I didn’t witness this with my own eyes I don’t know how much I would of believed it. But here it goes… We started the morning and my client started catching them pretty steady with a big one and then this tournament took off and around 15 boats came by us and at that time we didn’t think too much about it … then it dawned on me we hadn’t had a bite since the boats went by… Let that sink in. Was it because he had caught all that was there? or did the bass just felt all the vibration from the boats and just shut down?

Still catching some pre-spawn bass.. feel like we will see them trickle in till mid June the spring has been long and cold with not many warm weeks that it takes to get the bass to spawn good.

Heres some pics

Guntersville August 18th

August 17, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Guntersville Bass Don’t Seem To Mind The Heat! But man has it been hot, I’d say we are in the dawg days of summer but the fishing begs to differ! Some days are alike and some are so far from what we have done on other days, keeping an open mind seems to be the key and when the conditions are right that technique it really works. With the grass not being what Guntersville is known for its really changed the way we approach the lake and finding the new hiding places isn’t really easy to pattern.

When you look at the pics you’ll notice a spinning reel in some of them, and for all that know me I’m not a spinning reel fan …. until now this new Paradigm Reel by Duckett is pretty sweet I’ve found myself using it, these reels will be easy to add to your arsenal, here are some things that I like.

Light Weight
Smooth
I can actually cast it ( till theres no more line 30# SX1 with 12lb Sniper)
Drag System
Looks Really Cool

Seeing some 90 degree water / water clarity is clear like 3-5 ft of visibility and dingy in other areas

We’ve caught some dandy and some good ones , we’ve had customers that have never fished before to experienced, some from U.S.A. to England its a great time to be guiding.

Heres some of the catches

MARK LEARNED TO FISH AND GOT THE HANG OF CATCHING
HE CATCHES ONE OF THESE EVERY LAKE WE GO TO (nickajack)

Guntersville In August

August 5, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Well Here We Are Its August Its Hot And Its Guntersville. If your not catching them then your in the wrong area or your technique may not be what they are wanting. The water temp has gotten back up in the high 80s and the bass well they know its the dog days and are wanting to get on their summer patterns but they just seem to be off. But I have faith that we are just in a transition period.

Water Clarity is clear like 4-6 feet deep in some areas

We did chase some schoolers around with some luck and had a slight hiccup.

Called Capt. Jeff he came over to help me out, he cut the split ring and we discussed if the line trick would work and we both decided it wouldnt work , it was deep and doc did agree. So Jeff took our clients out for the rest of the day while I recovered. Big Thank You To Capt. Jeff. and heres the rest of the pics:

We are still catching fish and its only going to get better from her on out.

Guntersville 7.14.19

July 13, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Guntersville Handed Out A Personal Best This Week! The heat has been no joke this past week but the bite seemed to stay steady each day and catching quality bass. But its just hard to catch them the same way each day so that has been keeping it interesting.

Water Temps Shot Up Overnight had 89 degrees Thursday morning then Friday morning after some rain it was 79 degrees in the morning. Water is still very clear.

We’ve been able to catch fish doing a little bit of everything but the big ones are coming on a certain technique that isn’t the easiest to do but if you can learn it then you’ll have a chance at your Guntersville Donkey!

Fishing Is Fun!

June 15, 2019 by Capt. Jim

With the cooler temps the bass really seemed to really like it. Guntersville seems to be fishing really good, that is if your where they are. Seems to me timing is everything and I mean everything. From what I am seeing is the bass are getting very pressured to the point they are moving out of an area by the hour, and you can tell if you are fishing an area that just had the tar beat out of it, you’ll get some bumps and maybe a fish or two then its nothing. So what does this mean? Make sure you have plenty of gas in your skiff, at least till the fishing pressure drops and they stop getting their heads beat in. We seen some really nice bass this week some days we had several in one spot and other days it was one here one here and mix in the cookie cutters for fun. Had some 50 fish days this past week and some lighter days but the size was nice. The Deep Bite still seems to be the most consistent with better quality. The water temps have come down to 76 and clarity well that depends where the wind is blowing.

The Mayflies are hatching so if you like to catch some Bream nows a good time to do it and get some young anglers catching.

Well Bassmaster will be on the lake this week and I’m sure they’ll have a great tournament and we will see more boats following these guys around ( then us LOL ) all week so be careful out there and look out for other boats.

Hats off to our guide Jeff he had one of those days this week where our clients just smashed them.

Heres Some Pics… Enjoy
