Me and my father are planning on going down to guntersville march 12-15 can anyone give me any pointers or tips that could help a fellow angler out, this will be our first time down south fishing..
Google Guntersville Fishing Reports. There are several that pop up with the most
current information. Also, If you are interested in a guide look up Spinnerbait Kid.
another site reports will tell you a lot for that lake.
A couple guys I know are there right now catching VERY good sack on lipless cranks ripped over the grass.

I posted this same question a month ago. I'm heading down there on the 18th. for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks down there last year and two guides, it became apparent to me that at this time of year it's all about weather. However, most of the fish we caught were on Excaliber XR50's in "Royal Shad", Chart/white 1/2 oz.spinnerbaits and T-rigged 8" pumpkin majic 8" zoom lizards. Have a great trip.

Yesterdays bag on Guntersville. 27+ lbs. I would stick with just lipless ripping out of grass if I were you!

that's a heck of a sack there! I'm going to be there in two and a half weeks sure hope the bite stays that hot.
Headed down March 18th for a couple of days. Never been before and looking forward to it. Taking my son for a couple of days, and sure hope the weather and the bit is good.
Wow that's an impressive sack of big old girls. Congrats guys!
Impressive fish, which end of the lake were you fishing

Other than tecnique, my buddies didn't tell me anything else. Sorry. I do know they fished 4 days and their worst sack was 23lbs. They were on the fish for sure!

With all the rain forecasted this week, do you all think the lake will muddy up by the weekend

I know bro jus giving ya a hard time.. I hope the weather cooperates with ya.. Along with the fish. Did ya see Jeff's 00mod buddies Molly whopping
them.. I'm doing good ready for winter to be officially over.. Never been to the Ville but I always hear bout Goose pond.. Hopefully make a trip soon. Hope all is good your way... Take care
is all this rain gonna muddy it up, should i wait to come down another time?
If the water is anything like Pickwick- Yes. Muddy with the rain and snow runoff. Also pulling a ton of current. Usually a good time to fish, but water clarity is tough right now. Only time I have ever been skunked on Pickwick was last Sunday

The weather this week is going to be right but I think it's suppose to rain some more Thursday then Fri thru Wed is going to be dry and in the 60's... This is West Tn weather I'm sure it's the same
It has rained here all week and it will be raining Saturday as well. I know the pattern has been throwing red cranks or rattle baits. Now the water temp should be up 10 or so degrees from the last week of Feb when it was 41-43 degree. On the 4th we did ok fishing ledges next to the channel. I am wondering what you guys think will happen if the water is upper 40's and dirty? Thanks!
Amazing place to fish anytime. Went twice last year. First trip was in Mid March and we whacked em. 24-1 was our best daily 5 during the week but we had over 20 solid fish everyday all week long. Crankbaits, jerkbaits and lipless cranks were our best baits. 9lbs 8oz was our biggest bass. Youtube video posted by my son. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWrS4axswLo his editing was great because I must have spent the whole week running for the net and I am the one that caught the 9-8 :-) I went back down Good Friday Weekend and really struggled catching them post spawn. only caught 9 total all weekend. So for me I would go NOW regardless of the rain. I have to wait for a couple more weeks. We are going to fish for 6 days before marshaling for the Elites. They may hit the spawning activity perfect this year.
ive watched that video a million times, the 9.8 is a toad, thats what im shooting for, amy chance you can point me in the right direction, im leavin at 5 am tomorrowOn 3/13/2015 at 12:26 AM, stfreed said:Amazing place to fish anytime.

Looks like you taught your son well. Either that or he edited you out on purpose except for the toad.
This is my club. Unfortunately I'm not there. Todays results http://www.usanglerschoice.com/2015-championship-day-1.asp

I'm not seeing PB. BB is big bass weighed. One of the guys from my club caught an 11.2 in practice. They're in the top 15 right now
Yes that's what I meant.. Holy cow I need a trip there..

I fished in the championship there a few years back. The guys who won the tourney had a 36lb bag on day one. They were culling 5 pounders and were back at the dock at 10am
Here's the final results http://www.usanglerschoice.com/2015-championship-final-results.asp
Pretty nice 1st and 2nd place awards..

and 40th. That is a draw boat. Anyone who participates in the tournament of champions, who does not win a 1st or 2nd place boat, is automatically entered into a raffle for the 3rd boat.
Caught around 150 fish, several 3lbrs and 1 5lbr, didnt get into the big ones like i hoped but we still had fun
