Largemouth Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
Largemouth bass fishing is going to be slow with the water temperature at 47 degrees. If you have a chance to get out on the water, you are going to have to fish deep and slow. Jig fishing and Plastic baits may be your best bet this time of year for largemouth bass. You may also try fishing some sinking jerk baits.

Sept 15, 2011, Lake Guntersville Fishing Reports – Shannon and Melinda from South Alabama joined me this morning for a short trip out of Waterfront. The ladies had a top water bite all morning. Catching was a little slow today because of the wind and cold front, but the quality of fish improved. We found fish holding up in scattered grass, some of our best fish came in 3-5 FOW just off the mats. Most fish where in the 2-3.5 pound range with three in the 4 to 4.5 pound range in the mix. They managed 2 good limits of fish before calling it a day around 11am. There are several schools of bass roaming the lake has increased and which can drastically increase your numbers, if you locate one of them. Water temps dropped a little to 68-74 degrees. Our better fish came on Elgrande Sapo/Ribbet style frogs. We also caught fish on Assassinator buzz baits, www.assassinatorbaits.com (Slam’ in Guntersville Red), t-rigged OL’ Monsters, sammy’s and spooks . The frog/rat should really fire up in the next two weeks with cooler water temp’s and as the fish start to feed up for the winter! I have a few days available in September and I’m taking reservations for October and November! Make your reservations now for some great action on Guntersville, Nickajack or Tim’s Ford. We supply all fishing gear, lures at no additional cost you and 110% dedication to making your trip successful. “Let’s go fish’ in” Submitted by Capt.

Smallmouth Bass Tips for Current Conditions:
With Lake Guntersville at 47 degree water temperature this is a great time to get out on the water and try hitting some deeper primary and secondary points. Smallmouth bass will be feeding at this water temperature but will be much harder to catch. On Sunny warm afternoons its a great time to throw a crank bait, jigs or slow roll a spinnerbait at 5-10 foot on sunny points and drops off of sunny flats. Smallmouth Bass will move into warm water on warm sunny days.

Lake Guntersville Crappie Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Crappie Tips for Current Conditions:
Crappie fishing is sometimes at its best with the water temperature down this low. Crappie will be in large schools and follow the large shad schools around in extremely deep water. Find the deepest parts of your lake in old river channels and scan your graph for schooling shad. When you find the school, drop your plastics or live bait down to the bottom of the shad and get ready. Many crappie fishermen will be catching awesome numbers and size of fish this time of year. If you are brave enough to get out on the water this time when the water temperature is this cold, it can really pay off. Be careful out there, remember to boat safely. Never take any chances at these temperatures.

Lake Guntersville Catfish Tips: [ Add Tip ]
Catfish Tips for Current Conditions:
The catfish family comprises of blue catfish, flathead catfish and channel catfish. Since catfish are warm water fish, they aren’t going to be very active in this water temperature. They will still be feeding, but catfish will only be found very deep and feeding very slowly. Your best bet is give some of the more active fish species in your lake a shot until the cats are active again.

Warming weather has sure made the fishing here on Guntersville Lake a lot more enjoyable. The fishing has been pretty tough the last couple of weeks. We have finally started to come out of the deep-freeze and the bass bite is starting pick up a little. I fished a B.A.I.T. tournament last Saturday with a good friend. The bite was slow but we did manage to catch the only 5 fish limit of the tournament. Our fish weighed 14 lb 9 oz. Second place was a little over 9 pounds. We also had big fish, 4lb 6 oz. That is some pretty tough numbers for Guntersville. For the rest of Michael Seeley Lake Guntersville Guide fishing report go to http://www.reelreports.com/ice-has-melted-on-guntersville-12124.html

The warm days are moving the bass up on the flats, and fishing is picking up everyday. There is still a little deeper cold water to deal with but we are seeing a move to pre-spawn and the best days are ahead! When the deeper water starts to warm rattle bait fishing will be on and you’ll just have to reel and hold on!
This past week we saw some definite change to the better, the bass are moving up during the warm parts of the day and we took advantage of it a few days this past week, boating some good numbers and some good size bass.

Lake Guntersville Solar and Lunar Conditions
Current Lunar Fishing Tip:
The affects of the moon on freshwater fish and game are at a minimum right now. There will be another full moon coming up here in a few days. The fisherman should never use this as an excuse to not get on the water. The affects of the moon can only enhance the outcome of a day's fishing not decrease potential catch for today. On days without the new or full moon, all other factors including weather, barometric pressure, wind and cloud cover will make up today's equation for success.
