We're looking at another beautiful day on the Big G with sunrise already behind us at 5:48 AM and sunset coming around 7:41 PM, giving us plenty of daylight hours to get on the water. Current weather patterns are continuing with those mild spring days, though we're starting to see temperatures creep up as we approach Memorial Day weekend. Water temps have risen to the upper 60s in most areas, and lake levels are holding steady after those recent rains.
Bass fishing is really picking up now as we're fully transitioning into ledge season. Most largemouth have completed their spawn, and we're seeing them group up along deeper structure. The tournament action this past weekend confirms what locals have been saying – the big fish are starting to show up in numbers. Just three days ago, Isaac Peavyhouse took home the Toyota Series win with an impressive three-day total of nearly 74 pounds.
Early morning topwater action remains strong, especially around Goose Pond and North Sauty Creek. Buzzbaits and hollow-body frogs are still producing those exciting surface strikes in the milfoil and lily pads. Once the sun gets higher, you'll want to switch to football jigs – which seem to be the hot ticket this year – or Texas-rigged creature baits worked along deeper grass edges.
For those looking to get ahead of the crowd, I'm seeing more consistent ledge bites developing each day. The bass are definitely preparing to group up in their summer haunts. Your electronics will be your best friend now – time to scan those deeper ledges around Seibold and the Waterfront area. Chrome or shad-colored lipless cranks and swimbaits are working well when you find those schools.
Crappie fishing continues to produce solid numbers for those targeting them, though most anglers have shifted focus to bass this time of year. Small minnows or jigs around brush piles in 12-15 feet of water are still bringing in good catches.
Hot spots this week include the ledges near the Highway 431 bridge, the channel swings near Goose Pond, and the deeper grass edges around South Sauty Creek. The evening bite has been particularly productive as fish move up to feed in the shallows as the sun gets lower.
With the full summer heat just around the corner, now's the time to put in some hours on the water before those scorching Alabama days really kick in. Remember, fish early, fish late, and keep an eye on your electronics.
Until next time, tight lines and big catches from Lake Guntersville!
