Guntersville question

[FryDog62]

Would mid-late May be peak of the spawn on G’ville or would it be mostly over by then? 

[Tennessee Boy]

Definitely will be over by then.

Over, but pick me up in central AL on your way in May, we better double check 😁

In general, how tough is the post spawn phase there… I know it can be quite the challenging body of water…

Late May / early June is my favorite time to fish Guntersville.

It becomes a more electronics/ledge based fishery after the spawn, but I haven't fished the lake in a really long time.   

 

Going to Guntersville anytime will be awesome.  

 

ETA:  Check out the 2023 BPT event on Guntersville from last year.   Wheeler won ledge fishing a jighead minnow IIrc.   Overall the lake was fishing great weight wise.

You don't have to go offshore to catch fish and have a good time.  My PB was caught on Guntersville off a dock in mid June.

I'm not a local to the area, but  I've fished Gville twice. Once was at the end of April and once was in the middle of June.  Both times I caught most of my fish in 10' or less.  The trip in April I caught them mostly on PopRs and wacky senkos.  The June trip I had more luck throwing swimjigs, frogs and punching grass.
