Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 3/6/10
I think I've experienced the toughest week of pre-spawn fishing I have seen in all my years fishing Guntersville. If you had told me that the 1st week of March you would be fishing for 5 to 8 bites a day I would have never believed it. In fact the bite has been so slow that we actually had a short four hour trip that we never even got a bite.
All that being said we did have one day that we only caught 4 fish one was a 9.6 lb and the other a 9.1 so not all was lost but the bites were down and the numbers were not there in a time period that we should be catching 20 to 30 fish a day.
The really weird thing to me is that the only bait we got bites on in this slow period was rattle baits. As we all know that is fast moving, ground covering bait that produces in the pre spawn run. This to me defies the norm of slow it down when it's tough, so go figure. The really good news is it appears we may finally see an end to the extreme cold and maybe just maybe we will get some movement in the fish and head into the rest of the month with the pre-spawn pattern we should be seeing.
Come fish with me my schedule opens up again the last week of this month and I have days available then to fish with you!
