I visit Lake Guntersville several times each year during the spring and summer to go bass fishing with friends but generally not in the late-fall or winter.

Should i stay put, working one spot or walk along the canal working the length of it? Also do bass like a fast retrieve, slow and steady, or slow jerk/stop, jerk stop... Worm on bottom? or worm with floater? Do carp go after worms? Theres so nice size carp in the canal too, as well as catfish but i know catfish are bottom eaters..
