  • Summary

  • As of November 2nd, Lake Guntersville in Alabama is buzzing with activity, making it an exciting time for anglers. Here’s what you need to know for a successful day on the water.

    ### Weather and Conditions
    The weather is cooling down, with temperatures ranging from the mid-50s to lower 60s, which is ideal for fall fishing. Sunrise today is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM. The cooler nights have really gotten the big fish biting, so be prepared for an active day.

    ### Fish Activity
    Yesterday saw a high level of fish activity, particularly with largemouth bass. Anglers reported catching an average of 40 fish per day, with sizes ranging from 14 inches to 6-pounders. The early fall season is yielding the highest numbers of bass caught all year, and this trend is expected to continue.

    ### Best Lures and Baits
    For catching big bass, frogging and flipping are by far the best methods. Top water baits such as SPRO pop-r’s, buzz baits, and spooks are working well over grass beds. Additionally, Missile Bait D-Bombs and Tight-Line swim jigs have been producing good results. As the water temperature cools, it’s crucial to adjust your retrieve speed; slower presentations are often more effective this time of year.

    ### Hot Spots
    Focus on the creek ledges, which still have several schools of bass out deep. The grass beds are particularly healthy, and the shad chasers are on the move. Bridges, brush piles, and bluffs are also good spots, especially for crappie fishing. Tight lining a 1/16 oz Bobby Garland in monkey milk or albino around these structures can yield a limit of nice crappie.

    ### Additional Tips
    As the day progresses, adjust your retrieve speed and tempo to match the changing fish activity. Early morning and late evening are prime times for top water bites, while mid-day may require slower, more deliberate presentations. With the water cooling off and the current moving, this fall season is shaping up to be one of the best for fishing at Lake Guntersville.
