I've used several of the guide services up there over the years. They've all been about the same to me. Never had a good day using any of them.

My next trip will be in July/August for a jig trip with Tim Chandler.

Just use a 1/4 OZ trap on the flats. Eelgass is everywhere this year. When you find some keeper fish throw an 8" watermellom augur tail worm or ones with red flake, or lizard. 3'-6'. Some fish have already spawned, others on bed and some moving up. Did catch a few on jigs in deeper water last week. Lots of grass floating made it kinda hard to fish alot of places we wanted to last week.

Went in the cold rain today. Caught 7 keepers. Spent all day in Alred's. I fished flats, humps, points. Scrounger was my most productive bait. They were killing it. The problem was getting it in front of enough of them. First tournament is this coming Saturday.

Every off shore hump I pulled up to today, had hungry bass on it around the 6-8ft range. Caught quite a few keepers in 4hrs on a royal red spot. Moved over to Browns Creek and fished a flat for an hour and hung a real nice one RIGHT at the boat and lost it. They are chewing for sure.

I was surprised by the lack of boats Sunday. I guess the weather scared them off. I did notice that most of my fish (except the two Plopper fish) came from areas close to deeper water. May be the areas I focus on this weekend.

No. I tried to spend time in new areas of the lake (which isn't too hard for me as I don't fish there often). I avoided the bridges purposely because I've fished them before and I know I can't get to them on Saturday.

Anyone know if the bite might be better up river or mid lake? Lay Lake does this sometimes, where the bite is better on one section of the lake than another.


IDOT, you have any size? My best (5) might have been 12+. Wish I had know you were there, I'd have stopped by.

No. I didn't make it there. The wind was blowing out of the NW. Holding a boat on it would have been a challenge.

Saw where the Bass Cat Owners tourney had something like 260 teams and caught only 1,100 +/- fish.

Lot of talk in the last 3-5 years about how the lake is bad, something's wrong, etc. I still believe it's mostly a cycle issue, because the lake runs high-low every 15-20 years. The 1990s were ghastly compared to mid/late 2000s, and IMO we're back into the downturn.

Definitely isn't a Rayburn, Toledo Bend or Chickamauga right now by any stretch.

I was happy with a (5) fish limit. I have always struggled with this lake.

60 boats zero'd both days. Buddy of mine was in it. It sucked. He did say that they had zero fish die. Thought that was cool.

Plopper bite was cool, but throwing that thing all morning was a workout.

Beadle, Nickajack is the next lake up from Guntersville and then Chick is above it at Chattabooger. Nickajack dam is just over the state line east of South Pittsburg.
