Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 11/28/20

With the water levels on Guntersville drawn way down the lake has a different look to it and the fish have moved offshore to avoid the cold night temperatures. Even though they don’t move Guntersville more than a couple of feet there is a change of structure on the lake, the edges are low and the boat docks show some serious depth changes; moving the bass to the off shore locations in 10 to 12 ft. of water.

Crank baits took front and center for the week with SPRO square bills and SPRO Little John crank baits being the best choice; fishing off humps and deeper banks most of the week. We also fished Tight-Line swim jigs, Picasso chatter baits and buzz baits with mixed results. 

Come fish with me I have guides and days available to fish with you; 2021 fishing is right around the corner call today to book your preferred days. We fish with great sponsor products, Lowrance Electronics, Ranger Boats, Boat Logix mounts, Navionics mapping, Mercury Motors, Duckett Fishing, Vicious Fishing, Missile Baits and more.

What is Retrieve Speed

With Christmas approaching our loved ones always try to find a Christmas present for the avid fisherman and fishing reels are a big part of that decision. The problem is like all the newest technology understanding what your purchasing is critical. Understanding the type of fisherman your buying for is a big part of understanding what to buy. 

We are approaching a time of year that one of the most critical things that people do wrong, when they have trouble catching fish, is how quickly you retrieve your bait while fishing! There are many ways to work a bait and certainly many of them require you to work them very quickly to produce the action the bait was designed for; however working that bait has a lot to do with the reel you purchase or will purchase for your fisherman. 

All baits we fish with require thought on the presentation; and many times the presentation you use at first light may need to be changed drastically to get the same bite at 11am. Fish are more active many times at 6am than they are at 9am and retrieve speed and tempo needs to be changed many times as the day progresses. 

Lastly tournament anglers are a perfect example of critical retrieve speed. Many times a tournament angler hits the water for a practice day and really slays the fish. He goes back to the same spot at the same time of day during the tournament and can’t get his fish to bite; why? He is fishing with a different tempo than he did during his practice time. Not realizing how critical this can be, his body is hyped up and the speed and tempo at which he caught fish in practice has changed! Hence reel retrieve speed must be understood to work the bait correctly. Remember a 7:1:1 speed reel turns the spool 7.1 times for every revolution of the handle so the reel is fast as it gathers line and must be adjusted for while fishing. A 5:3:1 reel only turns the spool 5.3 times for every revolution gathering less line for every revolution of the handle hence slowing the bait down and can be critical in the colder water of winter fishing.
