Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 11/20/10
We are slowly moving to a winter time bite on Guntersville, and because of that we have two distinct patterns that the fish are being caught on. If we have some over cast skies and south winds we have found fish shallow in the backs of coves and creeks in about 2 to 4 feet of water. When the sun has been out and the wind from the North and East then the bass have showed signs of winter type movement to the river ledges hitting slower type baits.
This has been the issue in catching fish this past week, because fishing the wrong pattern really made for some tough days this past week on Guntersville. If you were on the ledges at the wrong time it was difficult to get a bite, I also believe that the wider open mid to lower part of the lake was harder this week to find a producing pattern; as the bass movement is always more distinct in the wider vs. narrower part of the lake. The narrower part of the river gives the bass less options and allows you to make pattern changes and find fish easier and this week was a typical example of it.
We slowed down our presentation working SWL Recoil Rigs along the river ledges and using it as a drop shot in the 8 to 14 ft. of water. In the back waters when it produced on top buzz frogs caught fish most of the time. A fair week some OK results but fairly typical for the mid to late November time frame.
