Guntersville FIshing Charter March 15th Guntersville bass fishing report
There is a lot happening at guntersville right now. A big group of fish is on bed relative to the new moon and rising water temps. There are 3 large tournaments this weekend and the water level is fluctuating daily. I did 4 guide trips this week and we had to sample prespawn and spawning fish in different areas and depth zones to get bit consistently. We averaged 20 fish landed per day and our best 5 fish was around 17-18 pounds per day. We caught fish dragging plastics in beds and throwing crankbaits in 6-9 feet in the staging areas. I believe next week we will see a dramatic improvement in the fish catch rate because of more consistent conditions and this group of spawners will be post spawn. If you want to fish with a USCG licensed captain call 256-744-5185.
