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

Lake is in transition, they are starting to spread out more but still some fish on beds and there has been a mix of bluegill, craws and shad spawn for forage.

I just won 3rd place out of 68 Kayak Anglers for the TN B.A.S.S. Nation Kayak trail on Guntersville 5/21/2022. I found a pattern flipping emergent vegetation in various water depths and fishing rip rap with a jig. The bass were eating bluegill and crawfish (found several in the throats of the fish I was catching). I caught many 17 inch plus fish that day and it was an absolute blast. As the day went on and got hotter I would fish a little deeper. I found the bass stacked in the thickest grass from 2ft all the way out to almost 10ft deep. I rotated between a junebug turbo fatty and and a blue craw/green pumpkin swirl rage menace flipping grass and fished a green pumpkin jig with the green pumpkin blue flake xzone craw on the back fishing the rip rap.

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.

A lot of these fish have spawned and are eating. I'm staying around 10 to 15 feet deep close to the river channel . Looking for grass throwing the big spinnerbait. You can also use swimbaits and big worms.
