Alex Davis reports that despite the heat, there are promising signs of activity at Lake Guntersville. The water temperature is around 86°F, and recent cool nights have led to the first schooling activity of the year. Most schooling fish are smaller, around 14-15 inches, and they are feeding on tiny shad, making small lures like rooster tails and small swim baits effective. Deeper grass lines are also producing fish, especially with techniques like speed worm fishing in the early morning and evening. Punching through vegetation has started to yield results, with fewer bites but better quality fish. Alex emphasizes the importance of using the right gear and technique when punching, including a heavy rod and braid, and getting the fish moving quickly after the hook set.

Steve Graziano reports that fishing on Lake Eufaula is getting tougher as the water temperature reaches 91°F. The baitfish are breaking up into smaller schools, which has changed how bass are positioning themselves. While moving baits like crankbaits aren't as effective, anglers are still finding success with drop shots, Carolina rigs, and jigs. As we move into late September and October, cooler water temperatures should improve the fishing, particularly with an increase in topwater action and shallow bites.

Andrew Monahan from Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BCHA) discusses the importance of maintaining public land and water access in Alabama. BCHA focuses on grassroots efforts like trash cleanups to keep these areas accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Andrew highlights the need for continued awareness and activism to protect public lands from being lost or restricted due to misuse or development. He also encourages those interested in conservation to get involved with BCHA and other local efforts to preserve Alabama's natural resources. Those interested can reach out to the Southeast Chapter of BCHA at southeast@backcountryhunters.org.
