Guntersville FIshing Charter February 21st Guntersville fishing report
Rain and current mean phenomenal fishing at Guntersville. This past week my guide trips were highly successful. One client landed 5 fish over 4lbs by himself. The thesis was fishing current breaks and keep moving until you find an active school. A lot of anglers are struggling right now which I can't really understand but Guntersville is a huge lake that can be overwhelming. We have fished strictly movement baits this week in bright colors that can be detected in the dirty water. I always want to throw something a fish can see. If they don't bite that's ok but if they can't see it that's my fault. If you are interested in a guide trip call 256-744-5185 or visit www.shaneellisfishing.com

The lake is absolutely on fire right now. Warm weather and current have the big  fish feeding early and often. The Bill Lewis Ratltrap tournament results are incredible. 11 five fish limits over 20lbs and 74th place had 14lbs. I guided almost everyday this last week and we caught a lot of big fish on multiple techniques and varied depth zones. This flurry of prespawn activity will continue into March and then we will see fish in all 3 phases. I have fished Guntersville for over 40 years and I don't think I have ever seen the lake this healthy. Every fish is beautiful and their girth is exceptional.

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.

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.
