Headed down the the G in the morning for 4 days. Has the topwater bite gotten any better? Any reports of any good fishing? Thanks

Alot of baitfish in and around the grass..I found big schools of shad on humps and caught fish there. Had to pick through all the stripe first then would catch some bass..

Last weekend at SEBCOG I caught fish on top water one day out of the four I fished. Mostly on Pop R's next to the edges of the grass mats. I never did get a fish to bow up on a frog. Those fish I did catch on top water weren't keepers. The keepers we caught 4 of them in 4 days. Came off of humps and drops on worms, except one on a trap.

Did you try flipping further into the mats?

got home today, the fishing was just as reported...awful
we got to the state park on sunday around 10 and headed out, no clouds, lots of sun, high winds, high 80's air temp, fished some main lake mats just out in the main channel from the park with not even a blow up. moved into some pockets fishing cb, topwater, and worms, nothing. headed to the area of the first bridge in n. sauty. fished a hump and around the bridge, nothing..found some fish busting on bait that was blown up around the bank near the bridge, tried everything, no takers, headed back around the park and fished till about 1, no fish. headed back out about 5:30 to the mat we started the day on, had a few blow up on the frog in the mats, started fishing a buzz bait on the edges and caught 1 about 3.5lbs, had several more blowups before dark
day 2 bluebird skies, we did alot of the same with no takers until the evening caught another one about 3lbs on a buzzbait on the edge of a mat near the state park
day 3 we headed to the dam at light, lots of clouds, fished everything in several areas with not a bite then headed back to the park area again with no fish. went back out about 2 and fished a mat just past the bends above n. sauty. clouds gave way to high sun again hooked a 4lb+ fish on a lizard on the edge of a mat in the main lake that shook off at the boat. fished the same (very large) mat till dark, about 1 hour before dark the bite turned on around the edges on a watermelon red ribbit, caught 3 or 4 more and had twice as many blow up.
all in all the fishing was bad and we couldnt get on anything except for a small window before dark on the edges of the mats, everyone we talked to reported pretty much the same, some older guys staying near us in the cabins said they have been fishing the lake for 20+ years and this is the worst they have ever seen it

I got back from some Florida vacation with the family on Wednesday. Thursday me and 3 others headed to Lake Guntersville for some "me" time. Report for Thursday: One fish, two blow ups. Fished for 6 hours today and zero, nada, nothing. I came home one day early disgusted. I know that someone catches them always, but I fished humps, mats, drops and yada, yada, and nothing. I'm befuddled and questioning my masculinity. Anybody want to buy a boat? I'm taking up another hobby.
