Fishing Report 7/20/24
It’s hot, it’s muggy but there is still a good bite on Guntersville, sure its not all day everyday but its there and if you want to catch fish the bass are obliging. The early morning is pleasant; it is fun times come fish with me, let’s get in a trip before the students get back in school.
This past week we spent most of our time fishing Missile Bait Spunk Shad baits, targeting the forward imaging visual fish, just twitching and being patient. We also moved Tight-Line swim jigs over the grass and down the grass lines slowly and methodically to get reaction form the bass looking for food. Patience is the key; presentation is another key; be smart change your retrieve and target active fish.
Come fish with me I have days available to fish with you, no one will treat you better. Looks like the heat may subside some allowing a little more time on the water for some fun before the heat of the day sets in. We fish with great sponsor products Ranger Boats, Costa, Toyota, Boat Logix, Lowrance Electronics, Duckett Fishing, Lew’s Fishing, Vicious Fishing, Cornfield Fishing Gear, Dawson Boat Center, Power Pole, Mercury marine and more.

Retrieve can be Everything
One thing that stands out to me is that the retrieve can be the biggest difference maker when you present your bait; it is everything to catching a fish and must be in the back of your mind every time you cast.
Customers ask me all the time what and how am I presenting my bait, my answer is pretty standard I am constantly changing what I do with the bait until I find a presentation they react too. This adjustment in my presentation is something every angler should do day after day cast after cast and when you find a bite remember what you were doing to get that bite then repeat it. Pay attention to detail, focus on your action and be astutely aware of what and how you’re retrieving your bait; if you don’t you can’t repeat it!
Many of the world’s best fisherman will talk about cadence as a key to catching fish on many different types of baits; there is no doubt that cadence is very important while retrieving a bait, but cadence does not mean to do the same thing every time you work a bait. Change your cadence continually with speed variations or pauses, or tip and wrist action; when you do this you’re still creating a cadence it’s just changing it until you find a cadence that the bass reacts too.
It is also a fact that all rods present a variety of tip action, if you find that you cannot easily change the action of bait then you might very well be fishing with a rod that might be too stiff in the tip. The rod might be too long or short for your body type, making it hard to make longer swings or fast movements with your wrist. Line is also a factor in being able to change your cadence or retrieve action, as all lines are different some are thick, many are thin, some have stretch and some do not, many different lines sink many do not. These line differences also change your retrieve and cadence while working bait, so experiment with line it can also be a factor in catching fish as it can inhibit your ability to work bait. That old saying “if you’re doing the same thing and getting the same result,” it might be time to change.
