July 27th The Heat Is Real & So Is The Fishing

July 27, 2017 by Capt. Jim

Wow it’s hot out there and the fishing is really good as well.

Lake Guntersville is really fishing well the best I’ve seen in awhile.

Discovered a new area and we caught them so fast we decided it would be a good opportunity to get a pic together like old times. And just yesterday took Tim fishing doing something totally different from the last month or so and we had a great day and we fished 9 hours in the heat and it just flew by, we caught fish all day and we was doing something that I just absolutely love doing.

I’ve been able to go from ledge fishing to grass fishing and catch them doing this. Some days the deep bite isn’t jiving and the grass is or vise versa.

When we go grass fishing it’s still a great worm bite, now the C-Mac is till producing but we’ve scaled down a little to a Big Thump and it’s like they haven’t seen one before and it comes through the grass real easy.. Keeping with a 3/8oz Picasso Tungsten. 8 foot seems to be the sweet spot .

Now when we go out deep we use Lowrance Structure Scan to locate them then I can determine if they are in a feeding mood or not. We’ve been starting with a 4×4 Football Jig in Green Pumpkin with a NetBait Baby Paca Craw and if that’s not it then it’s a big C-Mac 15 inch on 1/2 oz Tungsten.

This bass was pictured twice.. its in his right hand in the pic with him and his grandmother. I wanted to share this pic the bass is toad and he caught her when it was tuff but that was the bite that ignited the school we proceeded to catch them for 15 mins straight. ( and yes they all swam away like always)

Chloe wanted to fish Lake Guntersville for her 17th Birthday..

If you can handle the HEAT then your going to catch em.

So Tim and I went and threw us a frog around and we caught em . So it’s never to early to try one. I can’t wait to get out there and throw it some more it’s a blast….. Wanna go froggin? Let’s go , give me a call.

Guntersville Is Looking Strong

July 19, 2017 by Capt. Jim

Since my last report Lake Guntersville has not missed a lick. I would’ve thought with this intense heat that the bass would go full blown summer time mode on us.. WRONG its been the complete opposite getting plenty of bites and some are Hawgs but all in all its been a blast.

NetBait C-Mac is still holding strong.

4X4 Swim Jig with a Lil Spanky has been a great bait to cover water and find some active bass

The BullShad has had a few days where it just blistered them.

Been fishing all 3 major types of grass Hydrilla , Milfoil . & Eel Grass each one has its own pattern and its been depending on what the lake is doing that given day.. TVA that is ..

Think with all the grass we have this year the Frog Bite will be one to remember. Keep checking back for the frog update and I’ll give my predictions on when you need to book your frog trip this year. My Die Hard Froggers have already booked their dates … They know what can go down on any given day out here..

Lake Guntersville Bass Fishing July 12th

July 12, 2017 by Capt. Jim

Lake Guntersville has been very good to my customers the past two weeks. Catching fish has been a lot of fun and we have caught some good ones mixed in.. These Green Guys sure do cure a lot of illness …..

Guntersville Bass Fishing Guides

Our trips have been producing many bites on a NetBait C-Mac in the grass. When the low light conditions appeared we would get our bites on 4×4 SwimJigs in the same grass.

A few trips was just to catch whatever bites and it was fun to say the least.

Im not a future teller so I’m not 100% sure what will happen with the water heating up this year but one thing is for certain we really don’t know what the weather will do.

The grass is starting to top out over the lake and the bass have started to make their way towards it and that makes the super twitch bite fun..

Water temps have been around 83 but have been getting as high as 88 so the bass seem to be moving around a little but they are still very active..

Looking forward to the Flipping bite .. Ive been doing it a little with some good results but the good times are still ahead..
