It’s always not as obvious as some years in the past. Last year for example the grass was way behind compared to most, and finding that perfect top-water spot was not quite as [...]http://www.fishinsites.com/fishing-articles/finding-the-early-season-top-water-bite/feed/0http://www.fishinsites.com/fishing-weather/pre-spawn-fishing-tips-for-lake-guntersville/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pre-spawn-fishing-tips-for-lake-guntersvilleFishing ArticlesFishing TackleFishing WeatherTips and TacticsguntersvilleMarch fishingMike Gerrypre-spawnspring fishingCaptain MikeSun, 21 Feb 2010 14:00:37 PSThttp://www.fishinsites.com/?p=789There is no better time on Lake Guntersville than the pre-spawn time of year.

One sign is the gradual disappearance of the wood cover. Another is the advanced erosion of islands and banks by current and waves.
