The famous Royal Shad Super Spot is a favorite among
clients and local anglers on Guntersville Lake. In the spring when the
lipless crankbait bite heats up so does this bait and the tackle stores
can’t keep them on the shelf.
Cotton Cordell fishing lures were originally designed
to help fishing guides satisfy their clients on heavily fished waters.
It was essential to come up with something new, something easy to fish,
something that really worked when all else failed. That’s the legacy
behind these exceptionally successful fishing lures, and that's still
the way we think at Cotton Cordell.
The Bomber Balsa B is the perfect bait to fish shallow grass on Lake
Guntersville. You can reel this bait down until it hits the grass and
then pause it to let it float up out of the grass. Bass can’t stand
it when the bait frees itself of the grass.
Bomber Lures is all about having just the right bait for the job at
hand. As one of the most recognized brands of fishing lures and plugs
of all fishing tackle, Bomber offers a full range of Bomber crankbaits
and minnow lures. From Model As to Long As and the Fat Free Shad family,
you won't find a more productive or versatile line of high-quality hard
plastic fishing lures - including just about every diving depth, running
style and color imaginable.
Silver Thread fishing line has the smaller diameter compared to other
major brands. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and compare it for yourself.
I used Silver Thread before I began guiding and I will always use Silver
Thread because it performs.
At Silver Thread, we continually strive to push the
envelope. In 1985, we introduced copolymer fishing line to the world.
Copolymer fishing lines set the standard for abrasion resistance, small
diameter, great knot strength and superior casting that common monofilaments
just can not measure up to. What makes copolymer fishing line special?
The copolymerization process. Combining several nylon monomers creates
a stronger, more stable fishing line with a smaller diameter. Over the
years, several new formulas have been introduced. Our technology and
the drive to produce the best possible products set us apart from the
competition. Please enjoy your time on the water, and make Silver Thread
the choice for each of your fishing experiences.
Shimano reels have been my choice long
before I ever choose a career in fishing. It’s very simple; Shimano
reels perform day after day and take abuse that fishing in the grass
delivers. At Mildrilla Fishing we use Shimano reels because they perform
and last longer than any other reel on the market. Serious fishermen
choose Shimano!

6-27-2010 I
first want to thank everyone who has contacted me recently
to see if I'm still fishing. I'm still fishing
almost every day and I know...I know it's been
forever since my last report. To say I have been very busy
would be an understatement! Since my last report we finally
got the house finished and moved in. We're definitely
not settled but who is in the first year? My daughter's
softball is finally over until the fall, so it will be catch
up time around Chandler house. Fishing on Lake Guntersville
has been on fire. Clients have been averaging 40-60 fish
on a full day. They have landed fish on so many different
baits it's almost impossible to keep up with them.
Zell Pop's and Spooks fished overtop of the grass and
big worms, Booyah jigs fished down in the grass have been
strong. Out deeper (10-25 ft.) the Fat Free Shad crankbait,
Booyah football jig and Yum Ribbontail worm has been a killer.
Some days the Yum Money Minnow will get your line stretched.
The flipping bite has been on and off which is typical, but
as we moved into July it will be more stable. As in the past
I will be offering six hour trips during the summer months.
I have this Tuesday and Thursday available and days in July.

Clients have really put the fish in the boat lately.
Most full day trips have been averaging 40+ fish a day
with some even getting upwards of a hundred. They have
used lots of different baits in different depths like the
Yum lizard, Dinger, Money craw, Booyah spinnerbait, and
Xcalibur rattlebaits. The shallow bite (1-3ft.) has been
the most productive around wood and grass. The shad spawn
is just around the corner and the spinnerbait bite will
awesome. Water temps have climbed over 70 degrees so please
take care of you tournament catch. One of the best tips
I learned long ago and tell anglers all the time is cover
you livewell lids (doors) with your lifejacket while you’re
fishing. This keeps the radiant heat out of the livewell
and keeps the water cooler longer. Give it a try, you will
be surprised.
Fishing Conditions: Bass
can be found and caught in just about every condition.
There will be bass in pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn
which means fish will be in all water depths. Bass
can be caught on many other types of lures fished
in a variety of ways.
