Extremely tough week

Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 2/9/08

Water Temperature 47 to 50 degrees Main Channel

Water Temperature 50 to 55 degrees Creeks

With the lake water gaining color and warming over the last week, I must say I had a disappointing week on the water. Fishing was tough most of the week for my clients and me; the bites were just hard to come by. We just had a few bites everyday, and with the activity this slow it was a discouraging week on Guntersville.

The only positive this week was the few bites we did get were for the most part good quality fish, with a 7.2 bass being the biggest fish of the week. The big fish was caught on a Punisher Ghost colored spinner bait with a chartreuse trailer � oz. The few others caught were mainly caught on rattle baits and Mister Twister 4 inch finesse worm. We also fished Tight-Line Jigs, jerk baits and crank baits.

I truly believe that the up-coming week should be substantially better than this past week, the back coves are warming as we have found some back water in the upper 50�s in water temperature, there is bait fish showing up in the coves and creeks, and this should equal some great pre-spawn fishing.

Pre-Spawn fishing is just about here, it�s time to get back to the lake and test your bass fishing skills.
