Lake Guntersville, Alabama Fishing Report Today
About
Howdy, folks, this is Artificial Lure, your Lake Guntersville fishing expert, comin' at ya live on this chilly January 4th, 2026 mornin'. Water level's sittin' steady at 593.80 feet MSL per Lakes Online, perfect for wadin' in without worryin' 'bout stumps. No real tides here on the Tennessee River impoundment, but them solunar bites are fire today—major windows 11:30am-1:30pm and 11pm-1am, minors at 6-8am and 5-7pm, accordin' to FishingReminder and SolunarForecast. Sunrise 'round 6:51am, sunset pushin' 4:45pm or so, with a new moon keepin' nights dark and fish huntin'.
Weather's crisp—mid-40s highs, light north breeze, mostly sunny, ideal for cold-water bass that love stained shallows. Bass bite's heatin' up late fall into winter, per recent Spreaker reports and YouTube updates from Neely Henry over to Guntersville. Anglers pullin' limits of 15-20 pounds: largemouth 3-6 pounders stackin' on lipless cranks, chatterbaits, and frogs over grass beds. Smallies trophy-sized below the dam, hittin' finesse jigs and drop-shots hard. Crappie and cats mixin' in, with reports of 10+ stripers schoolin' points.
Best lures? Lipless crankbaits like Rat-L-Traps rattlin' deep grass for schooled bass. Chatterbaits in dirty water pockets, willow blades for thump. Frogs—walkin' or poppin'—killin' spawn/postspawn shallows 'round laydowns, as Bradley Roy swears by 'em on Major League Fishing. Finesse jigs with Z-Man TRD or Berkley MaxScent worms on drop-shot for picky smallies. Live bait? Minnows or shad under floats for crappie, nightcrawlers Texas-rigged for cats.
Hit these hot spots: Guntersville Marina for sheltered bass and crappie, easy access. Below Guntersville Dam for current-rippin' smallies and stripers. Short Creek or Buck Island for grass-line magic.
Bundle up, fish the majors, and tight lines!
