A rig on bluff banks caught most of our fish today. Also caught a few with a lipless on submerged hydrilla.

Fished a high school tournament with about 250 boats at goose pond today. Had 12.12 pounds and a 3.75 big fish fishing over a grass flat with a lipless and chatterbait and caught some on a drop shot on a rocky bank. There were upwards of ten 20+ pound bags with the winners having over 26 pounds. Guntersville is really fishing well right now.

As with any cold weather, largemouth bass often migrate to any cover that retains heat. Grass does exactly that - it retains heat produced from the sun. Therefore, a frog is a perfect choice for this scenario. Target areas are any irregularities - points, holes, anything different. Essentially, walk your frog to these irregularities and take your time once there by pausing the frog over and over.

We were able to catch some good fish in the shallows at lake Eufaula Alabama yesterday. The frog bite was excellent! We were also able to catch several good fish using a 7.5 inch culprit worm around grass lines and lay downs!

I had a few hours to go fishing before a storm was supposed to come through. So, I went and put in at Honeycomb. I saw a bunch of seagulls and loons that were diving in a little cut. I pulled in there and started throwing the chatterbait evo with an STC Sniper Pro on the back. I caught 5 or 6 decent fish, including a couple of 3s. I pulled out a little deeper once that bite died and started throwing a light Arig so I could keep it above the grass and caught a 4 lber and some spots that were roaming the area. Tried a jerbait but got no bites on it. Got off the water just before 12.

With all the rain this last week the water was pretty dirty but we were still able to catch a few good ones anywhere we could find any submerged vegetation around lay downs in around 5-12 foot of water. Working a worm produced the best fish but an umbrella rig also produced some gold bites as well.

Lake dropped 5 degrees since last weekend and today was post front conditions. Bite was tough, lots of chasers and few takers. Managed a few LMB live scoping brush piles and throwing an A rig. Had to slow roll it. No smallie takers today.

The bite was slow today with the changing temps over the past few days but I was still able to catch a few good ones. The OG slim produced some good ones around lay downs and the chatter bait was hammered around grass lines but the culprit 7.5” worm produced the biggest bites around lay downs in 5-10 foot of water in the back ends of the creeks 🤙👍

The fish were tight to wood cover and the current helped position them on the bank in ambush points. You may have to throw by a laydown 3 times before one commits.

Fished for 6 hours today and managed 7 keeper LMB. Best 5 went about 12lbs. Not too bad of a day. All came cranking a 3XD in shizzle pattern. Most came off laydowns and stumps and one came off a grass line edge. Water is at least 5-6ft below pool.
