You NEVER Knew this about a CHATTERBAIT?!?! + Lake GUNTERSVILLE Fishing Report

We are always learning and while getting a Lake Guntersville fishing report from ‪@AlabamaBassGuide‬ I learned something I never know about a chatterbait and how it works underwater. We all use different chatterbait trailers when fishing for bass especially in spring depending on if you're fishing clear water all the way down to super muddy water. What I didn't know is how the size of your soft plastic trailer - like a swimbait or creature bait - affects the action of the lure and how erratic the chatterbait moves when retrieving it. Lake Guntersville is showing off some great spring fishing and FLW Pro Circuit tournament agnlers and guide Ryan Salzman and I run through some fishing patterns - frog fishing, flipping, chatterbait fishing, and jig fishing - as well as how to catch bass right now from a boat or bank fishing.

Salzy and Ballzy, lol, nice combo! Ryan Salzman is the man! The Alabama Bass Guide will put you on some fish, lol, especially during desperate times, and Mikey, my favorite KZbin angler! Glad to see y'all sharing knowledge together with us about the Big G!

[@AlabamaBassGuide]

Thanks Adam I think you just created the name of this series for us!

[@carlzluticky5946]

I don’t know how it is, that you don’t have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Your channel is the most interesting and informative fishing channel on KZbin! Thank you for doing you!

[@upstateangler9575]

That live with you two on Small Mouth Crush was epic . Ryan is very knowledgeable and more importantly you guys have that high passion for the fishing . Not tournament fishing only . The love of fishing and to someone like me that is important .

[@russellmorris8485]

Love all the tips Mikey. Thanks for all the great info you bring us and from so many different opinions. So much to learn and I am totally new to all this. What bait would you recommend I start fishing with and learning about?

[@HydroTodd]

Ryan is a beast on those lakes!

[@terryclowers4433]

Another great video 👍 watched Ryan the nights he was on smallmouth crush bet he's got a can of peas and some Fritos on the boat

[@ryansalzman4678]

hahaha no peas. only fritos

[@mattressesunderwater]

Dude awesome, you and good ol salzy! Lethal combo....bass beware

[@BassGeek]

Chatterbatis are something I need to get better with. I fish super clear water all the time.

[@bchristenson26]

Good vid thx

[@Mjones8383]

A day late, had a tournament there Saturday and only had 18lbs. My 15 broke his PB with a 5 lber. Caught everything on a old gambler swim jig that I got from Travis Manson fr SMC

[@5.7hemi79]

Wow. I'm in Louisiana, I'd say an average tournament will take 14 to 16 pounds to win in my area.

[@jimwarden9617]

Good stuff. Hey Bog.

[@keithdavis348]

Balzz love your video. Where do you get your sleeves with glove??

[@andrewsommerfishing]

Black and yellow not chartreuse, but yellow! That combo had been a staple in my career and is a fish catcher!

[@RudyAlbrecht]

Ryan is the meme Master!

[@robertdtimmerman6507]

Love chatterbait fishing. Wish I would of known about your channel before now. Bog needs a raincoat.

[@blpfishing]

Your hat is awesome

[@michaelmcdonnell4200]

I used a tip you made, be inventive. I clipped the tail of a Flapping Shad, leaving just a small piece, I also colored it in yellow on a white chatterbait, caught a few fish and I feel that the adjustments were the reason I got the bites I did.

[@tonybass5662]

Salzy ftw. Good vid Mikey.

[@ryansalzman4678]

lol

[@angler6960]

What model Costa do you have on?

[@jeremyallred9807]

Love your videos. I would like to know where to get one of those hats with the sonar arch on it?

[@mikeybalzz]

My buddy that makes the Mikeybalzz hats and shirts make them here's the link bit.ly/2ZrWOEZ it's Bass Attitude

[@kennyhaworth9606]

Good video

[@rollievancleave2999]

I fish the TVA lakes so any info is appreciated.

[@nathanellis914]

I was hoping you had Roland onthe boat

[@allenherman6751]

Big bass Mikeybalzz

[@jbird6019]

Great videos mikey. What brand are your glasses and what color lenses do you like for different situations

[@mikeybalzz]

these are what i have with glass 580 green mirror lenses. they're good overall. not perfect for cloudy conditions but they work just fine. bit.ly/2uv7Zeg

[@mth2068]

Love your videos. Does these techniques work on lakes without grass? I fish a lake that have lots and lots of shad, strippers, clear water and lots and lots and lots of docks and rock.

[@mikeybalzz]

definitley - my buddy actually skips a chatterbait alot which is pretty unique.

[@nathanellis914]

It took me a while to accept the chatterbait but now it's a staple.

[@Reeds.outdoor.adventures]

So the toad turns the chatterbait into a wake bait! Very interesting

[@ryansalzman4678]

yes sirr

[@MrMrclean01]

Hey man love the videos. Longtime subscriber here from back in the bushwackin days lol. I'm thinking about heading to Lake Guntersville for the first time next week for a few days. Could you share any tips on areas of the lake to concentrate on? I have a bass tracker with 70 hp engine hard to make long runs.

[@mikeybalzz]

dude i've struggled on that lake overall - got a love hate relationship with it hahahah. but overall fish should be spawning and running around shallow. they should be chewing too so it shouldn't be too hard to find some bites. fish small, that's what i like to do pick a big creek near a boat ramp and pick it apart. Browns creek, alreds, and honeycomb are perfect for that approach.

[@MrMrclean01]

@@mikeybalzz Thanks for info appreciate you taking the time to respond. I live close to Lay Lake on the Coosa chain usually try and fish there at least once a week. After this cool spell the water is still struggling to hit 70 in the back of creeks in the afternoons. Wasn't sure how far along Guntersville was.

[@RonnieSprangerJr]

Great video Mike, could you find out where Ryan got his hat. Uh, I want one! Thank you

[@mikeybalzz]

hey ronnie he has a few hats on his website but not that exact one trueswimbaits.com/ I'd hit him up directly I'm sure he can get you set up! Shoot him a message instagram.com/albassguide_memelord

[@davew1207]

What dodge truck are you pulling with. Looks like a 2500. If so is it diesel? Needing a new truck and I am back and forth between a f250 and 2500

[@mikeybalzz]

Yeah it's a Ram 2500 but it's got a 5.7 gas Hemi I like it and the price point on it versus the F250 because that's actually what I really wanted is insanely cheaper. I got a lot more truck for a lot less dollars by doing the ram route I just wouldn't buy one new

[@Unknownuser_1954]

My wife and I are coming down this weekend. Our t 10 year wedding anniversary is may 1st and we are looking for some ten younders to celebrate

[@JT-dn4bi]

I like a fluke on my chatter bait but I turn the fluke on its side I like it white and yellow to

[@jascobos]

Ryan is a smallmouth hammer below the dam!

[@mjhoss]

Love to hear your thoughts on the clip in front of a crankbait.

[@mikeybalzz]

love them. if you go back in some of the older vids sorry but cant' remember which ones i run thru them quite a few times. i use the owner one that's welded on just about every crank i throw.

[@dcrane4]

When it sits on your what?!! 8:07

[@theoneandonlycarson4487]

[@kodymackie6808]
