Crankbaits |
Shallow and medium runners in chartreuses and shad colors some blue is ok too! |
Light line different speed retrieves including very fast.10 - 12lbs. line | 6-12 | Running just over grass as you would with a lipless model. Rip-raps as well. Run the deeper models through grass free points. | - | - | - | Points leading into shallow pockets where shad schools are found. Points with and without grass are all targets. |
Spinnerbaits | All White and silver blades | Slow Retrieve. Tip that grass now! | 4-12 |
Fish over grass off into open water. |
- | - | - | Outer edges of grass flats, look for grass that is still too deep to see. |
Carolina Rig | Black, June Bug and Pumpkin. Lizards, worms or centipedes, your choice | Feel everything, the bites will be soft | 6-14 | Make less casts and fish slower. If fishing grass allow the bait to move several yards once you bring it out of the grass. Bass will be following. | - | - | - | Primary points and drops leading into pockets, coves and creeks. Irregular features along old river channel. |
Rat-L-Traps |
Gold, Chrome and Chartreuse 1/4 - 1/2 oz. |
Good Hooks, tender sweeping hook sets. | 4-8 | Fish over grass as well as open water. | - | - | - | Anywhere water is 12 foot or less. |
Soft Jerkbaits | Bubble Gum, White or Shad Colors | Light line and good hooks | 2-6 | Make sure lure is running within 3 feet of the bottom or the grass | - | - | - | Anywhere water is 10 foot or less. |
Jigs |
Black/Black or Brown and maybe some red mixed in. 3/8 or 1/2 oz. Need Pumpkin and green pumpkin now too. |
Try even smaller baits like 1/4 oz | 6-12 | Works great on grass edges but docks and stumps are targets as well. | - | - | - | Main lake points and any cover you find. |
4 " Black, June Bug and Green Pumpkin. Swim a 6 - 10 inch worm as well as flip or pitch any grass you can see | Set hook twice with short bursts. | 1-15 | A must try bait right now!!!! | - | - | - | Grass points for casting or swimming and grass lines pitching and flipping | |
Tubes | Dark Colors, Texas Style.3/16 |
Short hops. Light Line. |
4-8 | Beds are being found in many areas. | - | - | - | Flip the grass edges. |
- | Top Water Action? | |||||||
Buzzbaits | Buzzbaits are really great lure for a big fish lake like Guntersville. White/Chartreuse seam to be the best color most of the time. Nice squeak or clatter never hurts. However, always try the more quiet baits as well. | Always try two sizes and colors. Change retrieve speed when the bites are slow. | Works best over grass you can see. | Cover lots of water and make passes though productive areas several times, even if the last pass was not productive. | - | - | - | Know if the water is considered low or high by asking around. If you hear normal pool, this is high in my book. |
Popping Lures |
Awesome baits around matted grass, sea walls and boat docks. Not to mention a lot of fun to fish. Shad colors with some blue and orange. |
Making the perfect sounding pop maybe just what you needed to do. | Water under 5 feet is best, but the grass will make many deeper areas fit this description | - | - | - | Sea walls. "GRASS MAT LINE" also great in clearer water | |
Rats\Frogs | The frog bite is doing well in shallow back water types of places. | Look for matted grass, black and green slim mats as well. | Under 5 feet | Heavy line and rod are a must even in fairly grass free water. This is because the big one will always hit in the thickest grass. It is a luck thing I think. | - | - | - | Only try in back water grass, Target the river channel only in you find milfoil and that water level is low. |
