Thread: guntersville

9 days crappie fishing at Gville! You lucky rascal. I am guessing you will need a dump truck to haul your catch.

Dang that's a lot of fishing. Good luck

Here in North West Alabama on the Tennessee River the WT is 56-59F and no they haven't even moved into shallow water. Head a few miles east around Decatur and u can find them spawning in the backwater creeks. The water over here on Wheeler and Pickwick is relatively deeper. It will be another week or more before its full on spawn.

Guntersville is earlier than we are as it has a lot of shallow water that will make them spawn similar but not as shallow as Decatur.

I'm not much on cleaning fish! I'll clean some and the rest can swim around for some to catch again!

Water temperature yesterday was 52 degrees on guntersvile. The overnight temp is supposed to be 35 tonight and 38 tommorrow night. The fish are confused. They were not there yesterday. I would expect tough fishing until about Wed or Thur and even then. Deep water is likley to be the choice.
Just my thoughts.
Zero

Doubt they have yet, but they will have to soon no matter what the weather

We haven't found them shallow consistently in our normal spots yet. I agree they will have to move soon.

they do seem a little late moving in.
