Guntersville FIshing Charter February 7th Guntersville fishing report
The big ones are starting to bite at guntersville. The Bfl Saturday had 6 stringers over 20lbs and it took 26lbs to win. Those big stringers came off prespawn staging areas but with the warming weather this week large groups of fish will move up shallow and the fishing should be phenomenal for the rest of the year. I did 3 guide trips last week and each day was different but we managed to catch 15-20 fish per day and had 5 fish close to 20lbs each day. The recent rains have put some much needed color in the water and the current has the fish feeding aggressively.

Guntersville FIshing Charter Lake Guntersville fishing report for the week of February 2nd
Wow what a week. I guided everyday this last week and it is one of the best weeks I have ever had for catching fish over 4lbs. We landed around 40 fish over 4lbs in 7 days on lake Guntersville. Our primary pattern was targeting staging areas between the river channel and the spawning bays. It wasn't necccesarily easy but when you got in the right area at the right time it was unbelievable fishing for a short period of time. With the rain and cold weather these big fish will continue to stack up and the possibility for exceptional catches will continue.

Guntersville FIshing Charter January 23rd Lake Guntersville fishing report
Bridges,Bridges,Bridges!!! This last week at guntersville tva has been generating about 80,000 cubic feet per second of current and the fish have positioned around the many famous bridges. The baitfish seek refuge from the current, use the shade as shelter and feed on the algae that grows on the pilings. The bass then follow them to the Bridges and set up in current breaks waiting to ambush their unsuspecting prey. We have been using spoons,blade baits and swimbaits to target them this week. I like to use a countdown method varying depths until I catch a fish then I simply repeat that same count. We have been catching 15-30 bass per day and each day we have opportunities at some really big fish. If you would like to book a guide trip call 256-744-5185 or visit www.shaneellisfishing.com

The new moon, longer days and warming water are secondary factors pushing bass up into the bedding areas. The primary factor is the number of days since they spawned last year. There are tons of small fish up shallow and some big ones. Most of the...
