Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 3/17/12
The water temperature says the bass should just be killing it out there but reality is that the fishing is tougher than most anticipated. The bass have been staging off the drops at the mouths of creeks and outside the humps and points and they have not been very active. The good news is that Friday and Saturday showed signs of improvement, with the buck bass moving up to the beds and along with some of the females.
Every day from here forward should show great signs of improvement and we should be back to some better catches. This past week our best bites came off soft plastic baits like El Grande tubes and grubs and Mister Twister worms, with Tight Line jigs new Oil slick color in a ½ oz. jig catching the bigger fish. Numbers got better toward the later part of the week but the early part was extremely tough. Look for the top water bite to improve shortly as the bass are building beds and get aggravated easily and strike on top as they get ready to spawn.
Come fish with me, I have guides and days available to fish with you!
