Night fishing has been off for me for several years. I usually have those clear minnows show up to my lights immediately. I hear they are like the ribeye steaks of minnows to the fish, but they're...

55 to 60

HaHaHa!!

Reminds me of this one:

"Hey, I've got a question and really need your advice. I have suspected for some time now that my wife has been cheating on me. The usual signs are phone rings,...

I saw a recipe once like that Bob and tried it. That was probably the best crappie meal I've ever eaten. Thanks for that one. I found a recipe on the internet and tried it because the wife loves crab...

This is a little off base, but I want to add a simple recipe. One thing I've learned about cooking crappie is they are so naturally good about the only thing you can do to ruin them is do too much to...

No grass anywhere, really, yet. Just remains in some spots down deeper. Otherwise, very, very light starting growth in some areas at the bottom, but hardly anywhere yet, and the normal sticks left...

Tadpole is so right. You have to remember Roseberry has been poisoned several times each year for several years now. It's iffy at best. Hard to establish any sort of pattern there. It used to be one...

Hey, I nailed it! Cool. I caught mine on the inside of Goat on the Whitaker side. I threw a roostertail of all things, but put it right on the shore and it must have been cruising. It dove down into...

Yes, the jig had to be running in a certain direction. If you think about it, the fish are on the edge of the wind line and if you toss into the wind, the lure goes right in their faces. It comes...

Went yesterday. Water temps where I fished were 61 to 65 degrees. I caught mine shallow just off the spawning areas, but I saw people catching them under bridges, too. So they are scattered all over...

Went yesterday. Caught a few. Very tricky. Alignment was crucial. I had to get behind them and toss into the wind. They had pulled off where they normally were, but were close by at the edge of where...

That smallmouth looks like it was caught on the rock walls outside Whitaker, close to the bat cave. Am I right? I caught a 5 pounder on the inside of Goat Island about 30 years ago. The only...

Really the best thing you can do for fishing for crappy is simply keep a journal. These fish seem very finicky, but they do have a rhyme and reason to them that makes them much easier to catch if you...

Fished in the freezing fog at Guntersville recently and limited out with 30 crappie in a wild and woolly 3 hour frenzy. I decided to try and beat the fog and got to my spot by boat at 3 a.m. It...

The light is going to bring an explosion of shad and stripe. You really need to be where they are, and of course they are migrating right now, and only use the light as a last means at this point of...

You're gonna catch more mosquitoes than fish you're looking for, so prepare for that there my friend!

I use those. The first two times they only lasted about a year or two. But the last two times I went old school and the first three times I went out with the new battery I ran the stew out of the...

I've heard "below" the dam referred to as both sides. I have only fished the lake side via bass boat. There, you basically wait until they turn the turbines on. Then you realize just how much it...

Sad to hear them spraying honeycomb like that. There's deep water everywhere there, more than just about any place in the lake. I can see around the ramps to get out there, but that's about it. I...

Great posts. I agree, I've found crappie loaded with the willowflies and they also chase the small fish chasing them. It's just a wild frenzy when they are shedding their wings at dusk and dawn. The...

This doesn't fully answer your question, but it is a good footnote. I have done extensive research and written many stories in the past about Lake Guntersville. I have learned form several experts in...

I got lazy with a similar crankbait today on G and hooked one on the top set of hooks. Blasted fish went nuts and put one of the bottom set of hooks in my ring finger. It shook again and in went the...

I went today. It's coming in. It'll be there. I believe it was the long, harsh winter. It is in the places it normally is in, and I'm sure it will fill in. It just hasn't reached the surface yet in...

They have been very segregated for me this year. I have found crappie several times in a 20 yard area all to themselves with brim on both sides, but only crappie in that 20 yard area. No mix of...

Good fishing. You got 'em figured out. Also so great you're not greedy and are putting them back!

Bob is right. Those islands can be tricky. Talk about water going up and down all around that area. I've fished there a few times, but not enough to be very confident. That rock wall across from it...

Or just still in the area feeding. I caught a limit of big blacks in one spot in two hours two weeks ago, all males, all guards. The next week there was still some around feeding themselves, all...

Great pics!

Best advice I can give you is they are always biting somewhere at all times. The thing is, 80 percent of the fish are in 20 percent of the lake. So, you will hit a lot of dead water before you find...

Great thread!
