Tim’s Ford – Over the past few weeks, we’ve enjoyed a good Jig, crankbait and Carolina rig bite in 5 to 25 FOW.   Water temperatures improved to the 59-62 degree range, moving smallmouth and Largemouth alike to their spawning areas throughout the lake.  Crappie action is good on docks and brush in the 10-20 FOW range. Concentrate early on main lake points working your way back into pockets a short distance close to the spawning areas. Probing main lake gravel rounds and flats with Rapala DT-10 and DT 20 crankbaits, Missile Baits Fuse 4.4 on a Carolina Rig and Tightline Football Head jigs are a great way to boat a monster fish. Watch for the top water bite to explode on the lake in May as we see the shad spawn start around the second week of the month.  A good indication the shad spawn has started is large schools for shad running the rock banks and around dock on the main lake.  As a reminder, please wear your PFDs and beware of your surroundings, boating accidents can happen to anyone! Make your reservations now for some great spring action on Guntersville or Tim’s Ford. We supply all fishing gear, Duckett Rods, Lew’s Reels, Rapala Lures and Missile Baits all at no additional cost you, Military Discount and 100% dedication to making your trip successful. “Let’s go fish’ in”
