Guntersville FIshing Charter April 9th Guntersville bass fishing report
Fish are in all 3 phases at the moment. There is a group of prespawners staging outside the bays and coves. There is a group up around the beds and a group of post spawn fish moving out of the spawning areas. These tennesee river bass don't hang around when they spawn they move quickly to post spawn areas to rest and recover. Last week the fishing was the best it has been in a while and my clients from Monday won their tournament Sunday with 24.88 pounds. Dragging plastics around beds is the best way to catch numbers but to catch that kind of weight staging areas with fish that are coming and going is the best tactic. If you want to fish with a USCG licensed captain call 256-744-5185.

In my estimation 60-70 percent of the bass at Guntersville have spawned. Yes there are groups of late spawners but for the most part the postspawn is my focus. This is one of my favorite times of the year. There are 3 strategies I employ to attack...

Guntersville is absolutely loaded with grass and it's already matting up on top. The bass are moving into a post spawn phase and frogs are on the menu. We are catching about 30 fish per day and size is excellent. My 2 frog setups are a bit diff...
