From Lake Guntersville, Captain Mike Carter reports the heavy rains have caused rising water levels and very muddy water in many areas of the lake. He said high current areas near the main channel are not producing well due to the poor visibility. However, bass continue to bite in the creeks, both around the mouth where they enter the main lake and in the back areas where water is clearer. Carter said he likes the Echo squarebill crankbait as well as swimjigs for current conditions on the lake. He also offers guided crappie trips, with anglers tossing tiny jigs on ultra-light spinning gear; www.anglingadventures.info.
Also from Guntersville, Captain Mike Gerry reports bass fishing remains fair to good for those who spend the time to find active fish. Most action is in scattered grass at depths less than 10 feet. He likes the SPRO Aruku shad rattlebait, allowing anglers to rapidly cover the water, and the added noise of the lure attracts fish even in murky water. He said Picasso Spinner baits, Tight-Line swim jigs and SPRO Little John square bills have also been effective; www.fishlakeguntersvilleguideservice.com.
From Pickwick, Mississippi WFP reminds anglers that the big lake usually produces some double-digit largemouths in winter as the fish stack up on offshore humps, main lake points and around shell bars where baitfish spend the winter. Crankbaits, jigs, bladed baits and flutter spoons are all productive. Crappie fishing has improved in the creeks on live minnows and also on slow-trolled jigs from 1/24 to 1/16 ounce fished a few feet off bottom. Some crappies are also being caught around boat houses and brushy creeks. Catfishing remains good just off the main channels on skipjack and shad fished just off bottom on float rigs. Smallmouth action should pick up below the dam when the runoff slows—crankbaits, swimjigs and jigs all connect, with some of these winter fish in the 5-pound class.
From Lewis Smith, the cold won’t hurt action on spotted bass or stripers. Both can be found hanging around herring schools on bluff walls and channel swings in the main lake—swimjigs and deep diving crankbaits get them. Also, stripers are moving into the Sipsey River, Brushy Creek and Ryan Creek—fish jigs around the bridge pilings, or slow troll live shad a few feet off bottom. Rainbow trout fishing remains good below the dam in the first several miles of the Sipsey Branch—live worms or Berkley trout bait under a bubble float gets them best—for details on how to catch these stocked trout, visit Riverside Fly Shop; www.riversideflyshop.com.
From the coast, flats action on redfish and trout was excellent until the cold front, which pushed a lot of bait out of the shallows. Pier action slowed with the colder weather. The forecast for warmer weather should see many of these gamefish coming back to the marsh edges and creeks until the next front. Dog and Fowl rivers on the west side of Mobile Bay have plenty of keeper trout—throw topwaters early, swimbaits later in the day. Both trout and reds will move into the Theodore Canal on the next big cold front—catch them on shrimp fished just off bottom at depths of 20 feet and more. Trout, reds and sheepshead will also become more dependable in the Mobile Delta above the interstate with colder weather, continuing well into January; www.ateamfishing.com.
