Reported by
Joe Drowns
Guntersville Lake (AL)
Joe Drowns reported catching Largemouth Bass using the Lipless Crankbaits technique and Shimano Curado DC Casting Reel on Guntersville Lake. Additional comments from this report: "Winter has made its way to Lake Guntersville. Heavy wind and rain have stained and muddied up the water over the past week. Still chasing the grass lines for my bites.. Finding clearer water and healthy grass was the key. Bait contact with the grass is still producing the best reactions. Ripping the Duckett trap out of the grass with the new Wheeler Select series rods. I'm really enjoying the action on the 7'4 MH rod. Sensitive enough to feel the grass with enough back bone to really rip the bait when needed. The moderate action in this rods really helps keep the fish pinned and allows me to just reel into them without worry of ripping the bait out of their mouths."

Additional comments from this report: "Wind out of the southwest about 11-15mph, temp right in the mid 60's and water temp right around 48. Spent a while getting the boat operating and only had a bit of time on the water before we got chased off by a storm. Caught one good bass in 7' of water on a lipless bouncing through dead grass at the bottom. Didn't find many schooling fish or bait balls while we were out and it didn't seem like they were setting up for spawn just yet. Daughter caught a pike with a Jerkbait as well."
