Guntersville has been fishing strong for numbers, with some days proving better than others. Up until recently, there hasn’t been any current, which has posed some challenges. Some days have been particularly tough, as the bass have been nomadic, making it difficult to predict their movements. Anglers have had to adapt to these changing conditions, trying different techniques and locations to find success. Despite these obstacles, there have been moments of great success, with impressive catches. The lack of consistent current has added a layer of complexity, but persistent and adaptable fishermen have still managed to reel in some good numbers.

We’ve fished from 1 foot out to 20 feet deep, catching bass all over within that range. It has been quite an experience utilizing various techniques and equipment to lure these fish. A substantial number of soft plastics have proven to be effective in catching these bass, showcasing their versatility in different depths and environments.

In addition to soft plastics, there have been a few days where moving baits were the key to success. The thrill of seeing a bass strike at a moving bait is unparalleled, and it has undoubtedly added an element of excitement to our fishing trips. The action is relentless and keeps us coming back for more.

Overall, the diversity in techniques and the adaptability required to effectively fish across different see depths make every trip a unique and rewarding challenge. Our adventures on the water have been filled with memorable catches and exhilarating moments, solidifying our passion for bass fishing.

Water temps have been hanging in the mid 80s to low 90s and the water is clear 4-6 feet of visibility.

Tip: Keep a 4×4 Jig Tied On

June has been a good time on Guntersville. We went from spring-type weather to summer in a day. As a client humorously stated, “You guys don’t have the ozone down here!” Indeed, it feels like we’ve jumped straight into the heat of summer. Our water temperature has been getting up to summer levels, currently hanging around a warm 87-90 degrees. This rise in temperature has had a noticeable impact on the local bass population.

Interestingly, the bass have picked up a new habit—they’ve been nomadic lately. It’s a classic “here today, gone tomorrow” scenario, making fishing an ever-changing and exciting challenge. One day, you might find a hotspot teeming with activity, and the next, the same spot could seem completely devoid of life. However, the thrill of the hunt keeps us going, and when you do manage to relocate these wandering bass, they bite pretty well, rewarding the persistence and patience of the angler.

This period of change has made us more attuned to the subtle shifts in the environment. Being on the water during these warm months allows us to observe the intricate dance of nature, from the smallest ripple on the surface to the sudden splash of a jumping fish. Each outing is a unique adventure, offering new opportunities to learn and adapt. Whether it’s adjusting to the bass’s erratic behavior or finding new patterns in their movement, the dynamic conditions of Guntersville in June have provided unforgettable experiences and stories to share.

What The Fish Are Biting

Most days, the fish will eat soft plastics. However, on days when they are aggressive, we’ve been able to get them to eat crankbaits pretty well. We’ve also had some days where using topwater lures was a blast. It’s fascinating to observe these behaviors, as it can vary greatly from one day to the next.

On those aggressive days, not only do crankbaits become highly effective, but they also seem to create an exciting fishing experience. The reaction strikes are often more intense, making it a thrilling time for anglers. Meanwhile, topwater action provides a different kind of excitement. When fish hit the lure on the surface, it can be both visually spectacular and exhilarating. These varied feeding patterns and responses to different types of lures demonstrate the diverse and dynamic nature of fishing.

Summer Fishing Update

Summer time is here according to the calendar, but the weather hasn’t caught up yet. The bass have been biting well for the most part. Water temperatures are below what they normally are for this time of year; we are seeing temperatures between 77-80 degrees.

The interesting part about now is we have to be willing to switch up what we are doing till we find the fish that want to bite. It can be areas or lures and most of the time both; the pressure has the bass educated.

Adapting to changing conditions is crucial for a successful fishing experience. Sometimes, it means moving to a different spot on the lake, where the fish might be more active. At other times, it involves experimenting with various lures, switching between colors, types, and retrieval techniques to entice the bass.

Moreover, understanding the behavior of bass in response to pressure from other anglers is essential. This often means refining your strategy, using more subtle or natural presentations to outsmart the well-educated bass. Patience, flexibility, and a keen eye on the water conditions play a significant role in turning a challenging day into a rewarding one.

How About Them Winds!

Indeed, the winds have been particularly fierce, with gusts that seem to cut right through you. The cold fronts turned out to be a tad more powerful than we had braced for. Consequently, our activities were scant last week, marked by a string of reschedules. But who could fault anyone for opting to stay indoors? When Mother Nature flexes her muscles, it often means it’s time to pause and admire her strength from the warmth and safety of our homes.

The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has effected a dramatic reduction in lake levels this week, setting records for low water. Sightings confirm that in areas like Preston, where water once was, now only mudflats remain, particularly noticeable in the vicinity where sailboats typically anchor.

Water clarity is fluctuating between 2-3 feet, with temperatures lingering around 58-60 degrees. Unfortunately, our fishing endeavors proved to be slower than anticipated – certainly not the outcome we had in mind. However, given the situation we were faced with during our recent outings, we can only remain optimistic. With April’s arrival, we’re likely to experience fewer cold fronts, setting the stage for an uptick in fishing activity. There’s a palpable sense of excitement in the air – things are bound to heat up rather quickly.

Our captains truly excelled at their roles, expertly putting clients onto the fish. Captain Phillip distinguished himself by landing big bass honors with an impressive 6-pound catch, while Captain Scott demonstrated his prowess by achieving great numbers. Their extensive experience is an invaluable asset, especially during the challenging times faced at Lake Guntersville. Now, if only they could harness control over the wind… well, then we’d really be onto something! laughs
