Fishing Report, Lake Guntersville 4/16/11
This week has been the best yet for numbers of fish caught; I have been part of days on the water this past week where clients are getting bit every 5 to 7 minutes or more all day long. That to me is catching at its best! Sure they are not landing every bite but the activity is there and the day passes quickly when there is this much action.
The bass are coming off the spawn and starting to move to the humps, grass edges, ledges and points; finding them was easy and my customers had a blast! It's certainly a time of year where most folks can figure out a pattern and catch a fish or several fish. The thing about this past week was soft plastic baits, like worms, creature baits and lizards all caught fish. One of the keys was working your soft plastic bait slowly so you could feel every movement on the end of your line. The bigger fish are still hitting Tight-Line jigs for me, I am still fishing a ½ oz. in black and blue color; the problem is the post spawn bass is about 2 lbs. smaller than a few weeks ago as a result of the spawn.
A great week, I had some extremely nice customers, they fished hard all day and their effort paid off with great catches!
