Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 8/1/20

As the heat turns on and up it generally becomes very tough to get bites this time of year; so far, this has not been the case. Sure, there some days where they might not be pulling water, or the elements made that day tough but for the most part fishing has been good and well worth your time on Guntersville. Overall fishing is good, and the good times are rolling!

The bass are responding mostly to different versions of soft plastics, one day they want a big worm, another a small finesse worm like Missile bait 48 stick bait or even a heavy weighted punching type bait like Missile Bait D-Bombs. The wind as also offered the ability to use some faster moving baits like Picasso Spinner baits, and Tight-Line swim jigs. We have fished mainly in the 8 to 15 ft. range looking for structure. 

Come fish with us I have guides and days available all summer long to fish with you, no one will treat you better or work harder to see you have a great day on the water. We fish with great sponsor products Lowrance Electronics, Ranger Boats, Mercury motors, Boat Logix mounts, Duckett Fishing, Vicious Fishing, Navionics mapping, T&H Marine and more.

Some Deep-Water Thoughts

The heat of the hot summer and effect of 90 plus water temperature is taking most anglers out to the deep water looking for the fish that have gone to the cooler water temperatures. When you get on your deep spot and wonder why those fish were there one day and appeared to be gone the next I think you need to examine the elements that being is there current moving or not, is the thermocline developed at the bottom and moved the fish. 

In the current bass have a tendency to position themselves so they can take advantage of the current and feed easily, so an ambush spot is the key to finding those fish? The job you have is determining where they will be positioned on deep structure. So angles become a very important part of deep structure fishing, work the structure from several angles until you get a bite. Take mental note of the position of your boat, it will tell you how the bass have positioned and lead to the correct position on the structure and probably other structures you will fish while the current is moving. Boat position is the key; I can’t tell you the number of times I tell someone to work at an angle while I’m guiding, just don’t fish and edge or drop from one position work all the angles until you figure it out. The thermocline is also a big issue as we approach these 90-degree water temperatures; you see surface temperature is much warmer than the water down at 20 plus ft. What happens is the colder water or deeper water is much heavier than the warm water, it settles on the bottom and the weight of the water squeezes the oxygen out of the deep water moving the fish to areas where there is more oxygen.

This phenom is a result of the hot weather temperatures we get in the summer and adjusting your fishing areas, tactics, and depth will be the key to being successful in these hot summer days. Current, and structure create oxygen in the water so any combination of this can help you find areas that will allow you to be successful on your lake. Deep water is not always the key, but it is a summer pattern to be examined.
