Spring Swimbait And Chatterbait Fishing Is EASY!
Jump in the boat with Tim and Matt for an awesome day of fishing on Lake Guntersville! The bass are spawning, but the guys are committed to power fishing instead of sight fishing. They use an 8" Glide and a Chatterbait to cover water and locate aggressive fish. They give key tips throughout the day while landing quality bass on a variety of baits.
Most anglers are focused on spawning bass in April, but it's not a requirement to have a fun day on the water. You can target pre spawners that are still moving in, and post spawn bass on their way back out. The guys did an excellent job of this throughout the day, focusing on offshore structures and steeper banks where bass would naturally gather after the spawn.
Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear the guys used throughout the day. We've included the exact bait colors, rigging components, as well as the rod and reel combos they used to fish the baits effectively. All the links go directly to Tackle Warehouse where you can see detailed photos and descriptions of each item.
