Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 7/20/19

It was and up and down week for us this past week; there were times we caught fish and had lots of opportunities then there were the slow times. The key was the current many days the current was not easy to detect and others it was swift and caused the fish to be active. There is a top water bite and that was a lot of fun, but it was limited to the early hours of the day. Schooling fish really made a difference in the bite and the numbers.

We stuck to many of the baits that have been getting us bites, Tight-Line swim jigs, with Missile Bait shock Wave swim baits, big worms, Zara spooks and pop-r’s for the top water bite. We concentrated on 8 ft. grass with deep water near bye. 

Come fish with me no one will treat you better or work harder to see you have a great day on the water. It’s time to get your fall fishing dates set; we have guides and days available to fish with you. We fish with great sponsor products, Lowrance Electronics, Ranger Boats, Mercury motors, Boat Logix mounts, Duckett Fishing, SPRO Fishing, Vicious Fishing, Navionics mapping, Picasso Lures and more.

Fall Changes

The biggest change in fall changes occurs more in how the largemouth bass changes their habits, where they go, why they move, more than any time of the year. Bass will more often follow the forage or bait fish than any other time of year; this can make them harder to locate as most anglers are used to looking for structure, and structure is not necessarily pattern of choice in the fall time of the year. 

The lakes are always full of bait fish in the fall and bass move to the baitfish for easy feeding and ignore their tendency to hang on structure, it’s a constant moving battle that you must keep up with to stay on the fish.  Point being is don’t ignore open water points or movement even though it appears to be removed from grass lines or structure that you are traditional use to fishing. This is one of the biggest reasons that crank baits running from 5 to 8 feet of water are so effective in the fall. You can be fishing hundreds of yards off structure and catching fish in the fall just because the bait have moved to the open waters. Long extended points where you’re removed from the traditional structure become great places to catch bass this time of year. Depth changes, contours sharp turns and old roadbeds make great fall locations.

Have you ever wondered why in the fall it seems that the bass turn on and off like a light switch, the reason is very simple the bass feed in large groups in the fall? They feed two maybe three times a day, the rest of the day they suspend and become very lethargic in the warm water. Your fishing habits in the fall can many times be timed like clockwork as bass can be feeding one minute, your catching fish and then gone and not feeding the next. This is why I fish so many reaction type baits in the fall, because outside the feeding times the bass can be very hard to catch and the only way is to trigger their instincts to react. 

Don’t let the slow times of fall fishing discourage you, just look at some nontraditional areas away from structure and you will find the bass.
