Water Clarity: 2-3 feet

The week of July 4th has been awesome for quality fish. I have had the pleasure of fishing with clients wanting to learn the flipping jig, clients wanting to experience the topwater bite, clients practicing for an upcoming tournament (who requested not to be on internet, so I did the honors) and clients that just wanting to have fun. I even got to fish a little in the afternoons with a good friend of mine. The baits that produce the best fish were Xcalibur Zell Pops, Heddon Super Spooks, Booyah Boo Jigs, and Yum 10 inch ribbontail worms. We fished areas from Goosepond all the way down to the lower end of the lake. We targeted grass in depths of 5 feet to 10 feet and some deeper ledges as well. July and August the fishing typically slows down but I don’t think this year it’s going to happen. I have said before this year reminds me of the 80’s when there was just so many fish out there. With the grass behind compared to past years it is shaping up to be awesome summer!

I have July 8th, 15th - 18th, 21st - 24th available if you would like to experience Guntersville during the summer. Six hour trips are also available and rates can be found on my website.

BTW-If you like to keep your boat looking at its best then you need to try Bass Boat Saver. I personally have tried many products that clean your boat, but this product puts all others to shame. It keeps a new boat looking new and makes older boats look new again. Bass Boat Saver cleans, preserves, and adds an UV protestant on your boat. It will even take blood out of carpet! Stop by Keller’s Tackle and get a bottle, you will be amazed how good this stuff is. Pic and release,
