Its Been A Great Two Weeks Here On Lake Guntersville. September has been known as one of the toughest months in the southeast to catch a fish, I can remember when I would avoid the lake during September until 4 years ago I made it my mission to figure them out, them long hot days of practicing finally paid off this past weekend during the Super Tournament.

Day 1 was a struggle and it was hard to not think about the past years during the same tournament ( the past is figuring out how to catch them during the week then Saturday they vanish ) around noon I finished my limit ( 16-09lbs ) 5th place

Day 2 Started off great had a limit in the 1st 45 mins had a limit then was able to cull up through out the day to get to 21-03lbs, kept telling myself I needed 24lbs because the leader had 20lbs on day one and I just knew he would catch the same weight again on day 2, he is just that consistent so to see that he stumbled at weigh in I can tell you that I don’t remember a whole lot after I won other then my phone started blowing up. Man the amount of texts phone calls Facebook Instagram messages …. thank each and everyone of you that took the time to congratulate me.

My Buddy Ethan Wheeler just about won the co angler side ( if he would’ve caught 5 on day one he would’ve sealed it up ) but ended up in 2nd and he won the Co Angler Of The Year .. Congratulations Dude!!!

The guide trips have been going really will and now that the heat is cooling down a little the fishing will continue to improve as we move into fall . Water temps have been 78-84 most days and the water is clearing all over the lake. Capt. Jeff has been on em really good catching numbers and some really nice ones, check out what he’s put our clients on this past week.

And There Goes The Summer Of 2019! How Was It In Your Eyes? The Lake is full of fish. We have a bright future for sure, you can catch fish at will pretty much every outing … but are you catching the quality that Guntersville is KNOWN for ? Are the big uns still around? I say they are, theres just so much going on out there with the types of vegetation some coming some leaving. The new stuff just isn’t as good as the old stuff (hydrilla) but one thing is for sure this summer has been a hot one so hot that it has caused a fish kill in Crow Creek, Last Sunday Pro Angler Gerald Swindle made a social media post about the dead fish and the crawdads crawling out of the water, that got everyones attention and we got answers fast.

September is ramping up along with October and November dates are starting to get booked with fall around the corner the fish are starting to show signs of a early fall ( seeing some really big ones chasing bait but not catchable) when we start seeing this its hard not to think about 5 years ago around this time we seen the same stuff happening and the fall bite we had was one of the best I can remember it went all the way in to December we just wrecked them daily and good ones at that.. fingers crossed for similar results.

Cooler nights have been happening and its been a welcoming change to the point that the hoodies have been making their way out to the lake in the mornings. The morning bite has been fickle either its gonna happen or its not but the one thing that has been consistent is the mid morning bite through early afternoon, we’ve narrowed down the baits and techqnics for now and should only get stronger.

Heres some pics nothing terrible just took some much needed time off.

Yes The Phone Is Pretty Much Glued To The Side Of My Face

If you like to power fish then its getting your time of year for sure. The flippin, froggin, topwater action will be happening here on Lake Guntersville.
