A buddy of mine and his wife caught 120 in 2 hours yesterday. He said they were all sizes. I didn't ask him if they were bedding but I sorta figured with that many, that quick that they were. His wife caught a giant shellcracker.
Has anyone found active bream beds on Guntersville yet? Not asking for any spots. I'm just curious if anyone has actually seen activity yet this spawning season, we've had a cool and wet spring! Dad and I are heading out Friday morning on the south end of the lake. I hope these last few warm days have helped. Any water temp reports?
Thanks guys!

Found some this morning cleaning beds off caught 28 most was good size but were just getting in their today Their tails were bloody and wore off just a bit ! They weren’t their Monday checked hundrededs of beds Monday only found 6-8 beds That had started being cleaned. surface temp was 72 when I left at 11 today . You should be hitting it just right . Let’s us know how you do and have a safe and enjoyable trip!
Good report maybe they are fixing to start
Next full moon will not be untill the 29th of May. Will that be too late to try to find them on the beds?
I have seen beds made in the warmer shallow back water of Wheeler. All caught and cleaned were males, this was early last week during the full moon.
We did not find any actively bedding bream/crackers on May 4th. Water temp in the coves ranged from 73-75. Found several old beds from last year that had not been cleaned off yet. We managed a few scattered keeper size bream, but all were released. I hope to try this weekend again.
Thanks for the replies gentlemen!
