This is a recent report from ETF (6/10 thru 6/16)
Here's the recap from the week at Guntersville. Overall we probably caught a little more than 100 fish, mostly bass with a few blue cats, a couple of channel cats, some white bass, a few yellow bass, bluegill, shellcrackers, two gar, a few drum and one lonely crappie.
Monday- We were set to go with John Henry the Guntersville Basswhacker Guide but it was pouring buckets so when he text at 4AM and gave us the option of going PM instead of AM we jumped on it. When 1:00 rolled around we met him at the ramp and had our best day for size of fish, catching quite a few better fish in the 3 to 5lb range. John was by far the best guide we've ever fished with and if you're ever looking for a guide we would HIGHLY recommend him. He was excellent.
Tuesday- The rain kept us off the lake early but we went in the evening. We spent more time driving around looking for stuff than fishing but still managed a dozen fish or so, up to about 4lbs.
Wednesday through Saturday- This is when we started figuring out our area (Mud Creek) and not fishing the mid-lake zone. We found some good schools and concluded that a small crankbait ticked through the grass got us the most bites and started catching 12 to 30 fish a day, mostly LM with a few white and yellow bass thrown in. These were smaller schooled bass that only went up to about 4lbs but it was a blast with multiple doubles and each of us had a double of our own, Shell caught 2 at once on a crankbait and I caught 2 at once on a top water.
