Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 5/8/21

This past week was the best for numbers this year for me, we caught lots of fish everyday I was on the water and a good number of fish in the 4 to 5 lb. range. It’s been a strange year but this week seemed to trump them all even though we had several cold nights that were definitely not typical of North Alabama in May, but thew results were great. The bite that has not really taken off is the spinner bait bite, catching some but not as strong as one would think.

Baits were pretty much centered around Missile bait D-Bombs and 48 stick baits, Tight-Line swim jigs in shad color and some Picasso vibrating bait action over the grass. It did seem to me that the key all week was to get out of the wind, which we had plenty of all week long! 

Come fish with me I have days and guides available to fish with you; we are a team of guides and the best on the lake with nearly 100 years of combined experience fishing Guntersville. We fish with great sponsor product, Ranger Boats, Boat Logix mounts, Mercury Motors, Lowrance Electronics, Vicious Fishing, Lews Fishing, Duckett Fishing, SPRO products and more.

Summertime Thoughts

Drastic change is ahead and as we progress into the summertime patterns, bass fishing becomes more complex and hence there are many more decisions you need to make to have successful trips during the heat of the summer. Most of the decision process evolves around your style while on a summertime fishing trip; meaning what pattern or bait gives you confidence and how do you approach the day with summertime heat and limited feeding time for the fish.

In other words, are you looking for size, numbers, top water action or are you just going to enjoy working different baits looking for different patterns? I head to the water in the summer always trying to identify what my customer is looking to do, that way I can adjust quickly to the conditions and hopefully offer them some tips to accomplish their goals. One theme that is pretty prevalent is top water action; knowing this I head to the grass and look for bait action immediately so I can take advantage of the low light conditions early in the morning. When trying to find top water action I always look for deep water near the bank, it appears to me that the bait moves to the bank around lay-downs, rock and grass edges so knowing this gets me to the top action fairly quickly.

Many of my customers in the summer are not interested in just hooking up on a big fish, yes that is a great result but many just want something pulling on their line. This is very different than trying to find tournament size fish, so the decision process is more about baits than anything. There is no doubt in my mind that smaller baits like finesse worms or paddle worms attract more bites. So I make the decision to down size and try to get continuous action and my baits reflect that all day long. When you head to the water this summer have a plan of what you’re looking for, it will allow you to focus quicker and accomplish more than just going fishing and not putting any thought into your day. Bigger fish have different habits than small fish and knowing what you want to do can lead you to some better summertime fishing with quick action and strong results.
