Fishing Points on Lake Guntersville can be very Productive

Fishing Points on Lake Guntersville can be very Productive.

Fishing points on Lake Guntersville can be exceptionally productive, because of the grass Guntersville is filled with naturally made points. As the grass grows and the current pulls the grass in different directions it forms naturally made points all over the offshore areas. This gives bass a natural place to ambush and intercept baitfish.

Points are a valuable position for bass to concentrate; on Guntersville not only do you have the points that stick out form the shoreline, but you gain small points that are developed from the grass growth out in the offshore areas. Bass are movers as they constantly move to find food and they move in the heat of the summer to between deep and shallow points either made by grass growth or natural shoreline. This creates ambush areas for the bass to concentrate in allowing them to sit near the current facing into the water flow and bringing bait to them to feed on.

In the heat of the summer depth change on points can be extremely beneficial as a point that holds big bass that has shallow water on top and drops quickly into depths of twenty or more feet. If your timing is right and you hit a point like this on Guntersville when the current is moving, a point can become a feeding area with lots of competition for the food enhancing their activity. Remember bass will position themselves into the current on the downstream side so they can easily attack food moving toward them. Fish where the fish are so do not waste time on the upstream side as their positioning is proven to be downstream over many years of my time on the water. Remember use your electronics to find points and your eyes to locate grass points that are developing naturally from grass growth. Look for hard bottom points that fall off to deep water; your electronics clearly indicate hard bottom drops and are easy to see. Add intelligence by locating points that intersect with creek channels and your chances of catching gigantic fish improve greatly!
