Friday fishing report
From Lake Guntersville, Captain Mike Gerry reports that the usual winter bite on Rat-L-Traps and similar lipless crankbaits is on at the lake, but lots of floating grass makes getting a weed-free cast in a challenge. He suggests going to single-hook lures including the Picasso blade baits and Tightline Swimjigs. He said best action has been off the edge of the grass lines at 7 to 9 feet. He also says that where there’s one bass at this time of year, there may be a dozen the fish are schooled tightly. Longer days will soon pick up the bite as the fish move to the active feeding period of post-spawn, Gerry notes; www.fishlakeguntersvilleguideservice.com.
