Spring Bass Fishing Is Awesome! Exploring Lake Guntersville!

Today we're dropping the boat into Lake Guntersville and going exploring! The guys have no clue what to expect, what the bass are doing, or where to begin. But it doesn't take them long to start putting the pieces together! Watch as they figure out a pattern, and get big fish to bite!

Guntersville is one of the most famous fisheries in the world, but that doesn't mean the bite is going to be easy. The guys weren't sure where to start, so they tied on their confidence baits and started looking for that first bite. Every fish that bit provided a clue that let them put together the puzzle. By midday they caught a great limit, with a big kicker, and left an even bigger one behind!

Below you'll find links to all the baits the guys used throughout the day, as well as the gear they used to fish them effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
