How many times have you gotten to the lake and wonder where do I start to find the fish! You run your boat from one end of the lake to the other and never really examine where the bites will come from and is there an area we have run bye. Most of the time you have run your boat over the productive changes on the bottom that are hiding those big Guntersville Lunker Bass.
Guntersville because of the grass is full of subtle changes on the bottom that are holding the very fish your looking for. The massive flats have subtle depth changes that range from 1 foot to 4 feet and these subtle differences in depth hold the nucleus of fish.
Depth changes don't have to be big 2 to 10 feet changes to be productive; in fact on Lake Guntersville these very small changes are generally where you can find the biggest congregation of fish. You see the bass use these small depth changes as highways where they move back and forth looking for bait fish to feed on. These small depth changes become ambush areas and over the years I have found the bass feed more often in the subtle depth changes than they do where there is a big profound depth change. If you ever observed bait fish you would find that when the wind blows or the sun gets up high in the sky the first place the bait move to is the one to two foot change in bottom structure, so this becomes a natural feeding place for mother bass. As we all know if you find the bait you generally find the bass, so be observant when looking for new spots on the lake, and remember read the bottom let it lead you to the bass, change can occur in deep water as well as shallow so it's a tip you can use all year round.
