Using a cover shot just above the grass is producing while fish are moving back out from spawn. Of course always have chatterbait and pig stick ready at all times

Bass were feeding on shad in the morning. Chatterbait worked best. Later in the morning I caught them shallow feeding on bluegill using senkos, frogs, and some other soft plastics.

We fished the north end of Guntersville out of Goose Pond this afternoon. A front came through before we went out so it may have got the fish in a funk. The bite was tough. We caught about 15 fish in 5 hours but not many good ones. We started off ledge fishing and didn’t get bit so we went to a grass edge right next to the main river channel and found fish suspended in about 5-8 ft of water so a shallow jerkbait was a key bait to get bit. We caught about 10 on that pattern but only 1 keepers but did lose a 3 1/2 lb spotted bass right at the boat. Then we moved to some grass in 3-4 ft of water and caught some 3 pounders on a chatterbait to end the day. Find me on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/ @aandwoutdoors

I was discussing scanning some ledges with my neighbor and that I had found a few big stumps that were loaded with Crappie. He said he want to go catch some so off we went. Dropped and casted Bobby Garland 2 inch Baby Shads in some of the pink shades on them using Active Target 2 to position the boat just right. We even caught some off some bridges before all the holiday weekend traffic hit the lake. Teaching a 80 year old the new electronics was fun. And watching big bass com into the school and eat a fish and take off back to deep water was pretty cool.

Fished from Goose Pond to Roseberry. Fished the worm like a spinnerbait, out of sight, around milfoil and eel grass. Pegged weight 3/16oz. Secondary channel off the main river. Grass in 3-6’. Caught most fish Memorial Day from 2-7pm. Had 17-18lbs. If you have never tried winning a worm in the grass, it is an awesome/fun way to fish. My kids love it. Violent bites in the current.
