Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 12/12/20

With the cold nights and some typical winter type conditions for North Alabama the bite is slow, fish are not active and getting them to bite can be a chore; but have no fear this is a short time problem as we will shortly being seeing longer daylight days and the good times will return shortly.

This week we worked SPRO rattle baits, Picasso chatter baits, Tight-Line football jigs and swim jigs on grass edges in 15 to 18 ft. of water. We had some success, but it is just a not an easy time of year. Patience will be your friend and moderate expectations will keep you from getting frustrated. Have fun enjoy your time on the water and fish hard is the best advice I can give you! 

Come fish with me, lets pick your dates to fish now get you set up for the prime fishing time and get ready to have some fun! I have guides and days available to fish with you. We fish with great sponsor products, Lowrance Electronics, Ranger Boats, Boat Logix mounts, Mercury Motors, Vicious Fishing, Duckett Fishing, Missile baits, Navionics mapping, T&H marine products and more.

Changes from High Water Levels

Every winter we get plenty of rain here in North Alabama and one thing we can count on during the winter and spring months on Lake Guntersville is the rain and that generally means high muddy water. The tough part is what to do to find fish; where do they go and how can we catch them. The answer is not simple at all, and I can tell you that I am not always successful but here is what I try to do!

The first thing I do is start working different depths, all that we learn tells us that the fish push shallow as the water comes up. While this is basically the case it also depends on the conditions of the water like water temperature and mud lines and the time of year it is. So you can’t always count on the fish moving up in depth especially if it is in the mid of winter where the water temperature is cold; it is also not the case if the water is already high and just turns to a soupy mud look. I start at the 12 to 14 ft. depth in the winter months and work break lines up to about 4 ft. of water and then bang the shallow muddy banks. Current also has a lot to do with where the bass move too, I have found that the stronger current areas push the bass away from the current because the bait changes their location and bass wear out trying to sustain and suspend in heavy current.  

Do not be fooled as reality is bass are just moving away from the stronger current but not really changing depth. The key is how to find them while they make these moves, to me it kind of like any other sport because here is where we start fishing transition areas. Areas that are similar in depth but allow them to get some relief from the current. This can be something as simple as a stump where the backside hides them from the current. Fishing high water can be as simple as finding transition spots in similar water depths, fishing flats off the current areas, looking for current breaks and working as many different transition spots as you can find.
