Had an epic evening of offshore fishing on Guntersville. We ended catching a 24.9 pound bag in under an hour on a deep crankbait and big spoon. Super fun day out there.

We caught them on just about everything today. Started off throwing frog in the morning and caught a few on the Copper Red Baits Wave Frog (not on Omnia) and then went offshore to ledges and stumps and caught fish on the other baits listed above. The neko rig ended up catching our big fish with a 5.45. We had about 19 pounds with our best 5. Guntersville is fishing really well right now.

I let the lure sink all the way to the bottom and was just popping it along the bottom. While I was working it, this guy hammered it. I was working it really slowly, giving a lot of pauses in between pops.

Massive rain over the past 7 days, resulting in high water. Skipped the frog under overhanging trees along the creek channel. The color was "duckling", which showed up very well in the murky water. The strikes were very aggressive

Had a really fun day on the ledges this afternoon. We were finding groups of fish on creek channel intersections with grass or hard bottom. Our best bait was a Dixie Jet Talon Spoon (which is not on Omnia). We also caught good ones on a football jig, neko rig, and a hags prickly pear. Ended up with about 20 pounds with our best 5.

Bite was pretty tough offshore with the TVA not pulling much current but we found some big schools and had a pretty good day. Caught some fish on a 6XD including a 4 1/2 pounder but the neko rig did the most damage with the lack of current. Had a little over 18 pounds with our best 5.

The frog bite has officially kicked off on Guntersville. This time of year there isn’t a whole lot of topped out grass so I like to get up really shallow and find cheese mats with multiple different types of grass mixed in. My favorite frog to throw in these mats is the Copper Red Baits Wave Frog which they don’t have on Omnia. My favorite alternative is the Berkley Swamp Lord. I am throwing these frogs on a Daiwa Tatula Cork 7’4 heavy frog rod with an Abu Garcia Revo SX reel and 50lb braid. It’s a fun way to fish!

Pickwick can be tough with no current running but fishing stumps can be a good way to catch them this time of year.

Got to the river late, I tried a few areas on the main river with no success. As the temperature started to rise I made my way to the back of a small slough the water temp was 4 degrees cooler. I used a Texas rig Senko and June bug shakey head to put some fish in the boat.

Throw it right at the end of the pier and just drag it. Give it a few pops every now and then and you’ll have a few in no time.

Temps are cooling for fall. Bass are starting to scatter. When you find one stick around there is another. Fish 8-10 feet of water submerged grass. I find that I start there and move shallow until I find the “right” depth. White Jack hammer with a Hog Farmer Spunk Shad white. Keep casting until you find them and cover water and grass flats. I’m

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.
