Guntersville in the summer means grass, and this trip it was all about the mats. We broke out the heavy rods and started punching thick hydrilla with the Berkley Stankbug. It didn’t take long before the grass started shaking — big bass were buried under there waiting. The hits were brutal, that split-second thump before they tried to bury you back in the weeds. We wrestled out some true Guntersville giants, the kind of fish that make you glad you brought the braid and a stout hook. There’s nothing like that moment when the mat erupts and a big bass comes flying out of it — Guntersville showed out, and the Stankbug got the job done.

Caught some fish punching today on the baits listed above. Bite was pretty tough but managed to pull about a 15 pound limit together. It’s a fun way to catch them.

Caught a nice limit of fish pitching the out side of dock posts in the shade on the main lake in the mid day and afternoon. Also had luck earlier in the morning flipping wood structures in the middle to back of creeks. Just covered water til I got a bite then picked up xtra fish in those areas

The weather was calling for afternoon thunderstorms. With plenty of cloud cover, I casted out and let it sink. With some subtle twitches and I slow retrieve, this guy hammered it. The hook set was right in the top of the mouth.

The bite was really tough on the ledges today but managed to catch some fish with slower presentations like a drop shot, bigger shakey head, and a football jig. The TVA was not pulling much current today. Big fish was 4.38lbs.

Casting out and just letting her fall to the bottom, I began dancing the worm along the bottom. Making sure to just let it pulse and slowly inching over the rocks, this bass just couldn't resist. When he hit it, he hammered it. Today was all about taking my time and slow, deliberate moves.

Fishing around noon, with the temps already climbing, I casted my lure out there and just let it sink. Using a straight retrieve, this guy hammered it with a hookset in the top of the mouth. There was no doubt this guy was going to fight all the way to the bank. So much fun!

With temps in the lower 90s, I let that bait sink down to the bottom. With a slow twitching retrieve, I hopped it a couple of times, and this dude smoked it.
