Guntersville FIshing Charter January 26th Guntersville bass fishing report: How to tackle an extreme cold front
At Christmas it was 70 degrees and we were fishing in shorts and T-shirts. A month later we are in a historic cold front. The fishing has been really good on the days the weather allows us to get out on the lake. The water temp was in the mid 50s a few weeks ago now it's in the 30s. Will they bite?yes. Do you have to change it up a bit?yes. The fish will not retreat to the river channel and become dormant but they will move. We had a similar situation last year and here is how I caught the them. The shallow prespawn fish moved to the outside grasslines in about 7 feet of water and I caught them on a jerkbait by pausing it near groups of bass I could see on active target. If you want to fish with a USCG licensed captain call 256-744-5185.

We have some extreme weather on the way. This weather decreases fishing pressure greatly allowing the bass to feed up for the spawn and get healthy without being fished for. Nature protects itself in many ways and this is one of them. The bass can...

It's cold the bass are lethargic it's time to slow down. WRONG!!! The bass are preparing for the spawn by eating as much as possible to try to survive a stressful spring. Be aggressive,fish fast and look for feeding fish. December was by fa...
