Guntersville FIshing Charter April 17th Guntersville bass fishing report: frog fishing 101
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 different to fish mats or scattered grass. To fish mats I use a 7ft7 xh rod with a 7.4 to 1 reel and 65 lb braid with a traditional frog. When fishing the scattered stuff I like a popping frog or swimming frog. I will go with a 7ft 3 heavy rod a fast reel and 50lb braid. When it comes to color I like white when the are shad are spawning,black is my most used color and natural colors around bream beds. If you want to fish with a USCG licensed guide call 256-744-5185.

Weiss lake is quietly one of the best bass fishing lakes in the country. Like every lake it has ups and downs but the lake is fishing really well at the moment. Local tournaments are taking 18-21 pounds to win. The water willow is a great early mor...

This week I have guided at Guntersville everyday. It has been fun and we have caught tons of fish. Easy it isn't. Everyday brought new challenges: wind,cold,rain and changing water levels. Before the cold front there was a good shad spawn at da...
