guntersville lake?

Question

most likely what will the best bait be in mid april 2007, does any one fish swimbaits ? or tube baits?

Answer 1

Try a spinner bait (chart and white) on the grass lines along the river channels...depending on what time of April you will be there the shad could be spawning...fish the docks with a jig (black and blue) or shaky head...drag a Carolina rig on the points (plastic colors...Green Pumpkin or June bug are good)...rattle traps and crank baits (these colors all depend on the water clarity) are fair this time of year...top water should be good too...so a Sammy, spook, or a weight less fluke (white) could work...check on the Bass fishing home page before you go to see what the guide and other people are saying...good luck

Answer 2

The best thing you can do if you are going to fish Guntersville is call Riverside Bait and Tackle at 1-256-543-3472. They will tell you where to fish and what the bass are hitting. I've gone from Va. to fish tournaments on Guntersville and they've always been very helpful. If you take in a lake map they will even mark places to fish. In April I've caught some huge bass on lizards and brush hogs. Good luck and good fishing.

Answer 3

speaking from experience from fishing in kentucky in april........it will be post spawn.the fish will still be lethargic and not hitting to hard.try downsizing a little bit and throw smaller jerk baits with longer pauses.this will entice suspended fish to hit as well.
as for the tube,which i love dearly and fish 90% of the time,i would reccomend a green pumpkin or pumpkinseed color either fished texas rigged or carolina rigged as well as fished like a jig with a pegged sinker.
bass during the post spawn will be feeding on the baitfish mostly.bluegill is a main resource for bass.which means u might want to try a firetiger colored jerk bait.

well this is my 2 cents,hope it helps u out a little.good luck
