Fall is here and it was 49 degrees last night in Guntersville. Now 1 dominant pattern has emerged. Shad,shad and more shad. Threadfin and gizzard shad are now the main forage and locating an area with a school of shad will also hold a school of bass. This is more complicated than it sounds as the baitfish migrate around the lake constantly and only remain in a location for a short period of time. The areas that are full of shad at certain times often will be good that same time the next day or even week but if you miss your timing it could be desolate. This time of year you have to stay on the move until you locate feeding fish and when they are done you must get gone yourself. My clients have been averaging 40 bass landed per day and as the temperatures drop the size will increase. If you are interested in fishing with a USCG licensed captain call 256-744-5185.
