Bass are transitionin' to winter patterns, schoolin' offshore on ledges and shell beds 15-35 feet deep, per Major League Fishing reports from recent events. Anglers like Jacob Wheeler sacked 'em with Freeloader swimbaits on VMC Hybrid heads in shad colors, pullin' 20+ pound limits daily. Dustin Connell dominated REDCREST here last year, and locals echo 5-6 pounders common—20-pound bags regular, even a 30-pounder!

Hey y'all, this is Artificial Lure comin' atcha live from the banks of Lake Guntersville, Alabama, on this crisp December 26th mornin' at 8:29 AM. Water's sittin' steady in the low 50s, perfect for that winter grind, with coontail grass still green in the shallows holdin' prespawn bass like it's February, accordin' to MLF pros like Grae Buck who swear by Guntersville for early Coontail action.

Weather's callin' for partly cloudy skies, highs in the upper 50s, light north breeze—prime for fishin' without freezin' your toes off. Sunrise was at 6:47 AM, sunset 'round 4:48 PM, so hit the water early for that low-light bite. No real tides here on this Tennessee River impoundment, but current from upstream flows keeps things movin', pullin' shad and wakin' up the fish.

Bass are keyin' in right now—largemouth stackin' on flats and subtle structure under 10 feet, just like Shasta reports but tailored to our grass lines. Recent catches? Folks pullin' solid 3-5 pounders steady, with a few 6-8s showin' on slow finesse rigs; stripers mixin' in the western areas on tide-like current. Ned rigs are hot year-round per MLF's Marshall Hughes, December through March especially for giants—rig a small soft plastic on a mushroom head and drag it slow over Coontail. Best lures: Texas-rigged Senko or speed worm to slip through stems without snaggin', swim jigs, chatterbaits, or lipless cranks ripped through early clumps. Live bait? Shiners or crawlers on a Carolina rig for the 'bows and cats if bass go quiet.

Hot spots: Morgan's Cove boat launch for easy access to bass-loaded pockets, and Lake Guntersville State Park shallows—watch for cottonmouths in the reeds, but the marina channels are gold for backwater sloughs.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Guntersville fishing report.

Guntersville’s sliding into that true winter pattern now. According to the Fish Lake Guntersville Guide Service reports this fall, the lake’s been fishing as good as it has in over a decade, and that strong bite’s eased into early winter with bass stacking where there’s still good grass and some current. They’ve been boating solid numbers of 3–6‑pound largemouth with a few bigger girls mixed in, plus decent crappie off deeper edges.

Weather today is classic TVA winter: cold morning, a stiff north breeze, clearing skies and high pressure. That makes the early bite tougher, but when the sun gets up and warms those grass edges and shell bars, fish slide up and chew. FishingReminder’s Guntersville forecast shows sunrise around 6:45–6:50 and sunset just before 4:45, with peak activity windows mid‑morning and again mid‑afternoon tied to the solunar tables and current. No real “tide” here, but when TVA pulls water you can treat it like one – the bite fires when that current starts rolling.

Recent catches, per local guide reports and social media, have been 15–30 bass days if you grind, with several fish over 5 and the odd 7‑plus coming from grass in 8–12 feet and from hard-bottom ledges in 15–20. Crappie guys are filling respectable limits on brush piles and bridge pylons, mostly 10–13 inches.

Best baits right now:

- **Reaction:** Tight‑Line swim jigs and chatterbaits in shad or bluegill, SPRO DD‑60 and squarebills ticking shell and rock, Duckett spinnerbaits on windy banks.

- **Slower stuff:** Missile Baits D‑Bomb and Craw‑Father, 48‑style stick baits, big worms and football jigs dragged painfully slow. Major League Fishing pros are also leaning on swing‑head football jigs in winter when bass glue to the bottom, crawling them over pea gravel and chunk rock with craw plastics.

Think **slow and close to bottom**. Let that jig or D‑Bomb soak on grass edges, then hop it off. On ledges, a swing head or football jig just grinding along rock will get fewer but better bites. Early and late, you can still steal a couple on a SPRO Pop‑R or a walking bait around shallow milfoil if the wind lays.

A couple of local hot spots:

- **Roseberry and Siebold Creek areas:** Grass lines tapering into 10–14 feet are holding schools. Work the outside edge with a swim jig, then clean up with a Texas‑rigged D‑Bomb.

- **The River Ledges from BB Comer Bridge down-lake:** Shell bars and channel swings in 12–20 feet – ideal for SPRO DD‑60s, football jigs, and swing heads when TVA’s moving water.

Crappie anglers should target **bridge pilings at South Sauty and deep brush off the main river** with minnows or small plastics on 1/16‑ounce heads, 12–18 feet down.

That’s the deal on Guntersville today – dress warm, fish slow, and pay attention to that current. When it starts to move, be on your best stretch.

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Guntersville fishing report.

Guntersville’s settled into that classic early‑winter pattern: chilly starts, cool afternoons, light north breeze, and high pressure. The National Weather Service is calling for morning temps in the upper 30s to low 40s climbing into the low 50s by afternoon, with mostly clear skies and a fairly steady barometer. Solunar forecasts like SolunarForecast and FishingReminder are rating today as an average to good day, with peak activity late morning through mid‑afternoon and a smaller bump right around sunset.

No real tide to worry about here, but TVA is moving water on and off through Guntersville Dam. When they pull current, the bite around main‑river ledges, bridge pylons, and the dam tailrace picks up fast.

Sunrise is right around 6:40 local time, sunset about 4:40, according to SolunarForecast. The low‑light windows at first light and last hour of the day are still your best bet for a bigger bite up shallow.

Recent reports from local marinas and tackle shops around Guntersville Marina, Alred, and Val Monte have largemouth catches running solid, with plenty of 2‑ to 4‑pounders and an occasional 6‑plus coming off grass edges and channel swings. Crappie anglers have been doing well on bridge pylons and deeper brush in 15–20 feet, keeping a mess of 10‑ to 12‑inch slabs. A few stripers and hybrids are popping up on bait around the main river when the current rolls.

Bass are in two main groups:

- Fish suspending around bait in 10–18 feet off the main river and creek mouths.

- Resident fish holding on remaining grass, rock, and wood in 4–8 feet, especially near deeper water.

According to Major League Fishing’s breakdowns on Guntersville, reaction baits still shine here even in colder water. I’d keep these tied on:

- **Best lures**

- Red or gold lipless crankbait (½ to ¾ oz) ripped over sparse grass and along grass lines.

- Bladed jig in green pumpkin or shad around grass edges and shallow bars.

- Suspending jerkbait over 8–12 feet where you see bait on your electronics.

- Finesse jig or Texas‑rigged creature for flipping isolated grass clumps, stumps, and docks.

- For crappie: 1/16–1/8 oz marabou or tube jigs in natural shad or chartreuse.

- **Best bait**

- Live shiners on a slip float or Carolina rig on deeper points and creek channels for bass and stripers.

- Minnows for crappie on brush and bridge pilings around 15–20 feet.

Couple of local hot spots to check:

- **Buck Island / Spring Creek area**: FishingReminder highlights Spring Creek and Buck Island as prime spots, and locals know those grass lines, ditches, and shell bars can load up this time of year. Work lipless cranks and bladed jigs on the inside and outside edges, then slow down with a jig if you mark bait but the bite’s tough.

- **Honeycomb Creek to Alred Marina**: Listed by FishingReminder as one of the nearby productive areas, this stretch has a mix of grass, cree

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Guntersville fishing report.

We’re sitting in a classic early‑winter pattern on the Big G: cool nights, mild afternoons, light north breeze, and water temps riding the high 40s to low 50s according to local marine forecasts and recent guide chatter. Skies are mostly clear, and sunrise is right around 6:45 a.m. with sunset just after 4:40 p.m. from the Huntsville/North Alabama forecast. That gives you a tight, low‑light window, and it matters.

Solunar sites like FishingReminder and SolunarForecast are calling for a solid bite with **minor** activity around first light and a **major** push late morning into early afternoon. Plan to be set up on your best stretch from about 8 to 10 a.m., then again early afternoon if you can stay out.

No real tide to worry about up here, but TVA is moving water at the dam off and on, and that pseudo‑current has been the switch. When they’re pulling, the river ledges and main‑lake points wake up; when it’s slack, the grass edges and ditches shine.

Recent reports from tournament coverage on Guntersville from Major League Fishing say most good bags have come on **lipless crankbaits, bladed jigs, and jerkbaits** fished around shallow eelgrass and 4‑ to 8‑foot grass lines. Anglers have been weighing in mostly largemouth with a handful of chunky spots, and 18‑ to 22‑pound tournament sacks have not been uncommon when the weather lines up.

For you today, think baitfish. Michael Neal’s early‑winter advice on Guntersville is to start **shallow**, fish **fast**, and **downsize**. That matches what the lake is giving us right now.

Best producers:

- **Lipless cranks**: ½‑ounce Bill Lewis Rat‑L‑Trap or BOOYAH One Knocker in shad and craw patterns. Red if the water’s got color, shad if it’s clear.

- **Bladed jigs**: Z‑Man JackHammer or similar with a compact shad‑style trailer.

- **Small swimbaits**: 2.8–3.8‑inch paddletails on a ¼‑ounce ball head, slow‑rolling over grass tops.

- **Jerkbaits** on wind‑blown points and over deeper grass when the sun gets up.

For live bait, a lively **shiner** or **threadfin‑sized shad** on a light Carolina rig or float, set just above the grass, will catch bass, stripe, and the occasional big crappie, especially for folks fishing out of the marinas.

As for recent catches, local talk and tournament recaps from Guntersville put solid numbers of 2‑ to 4‑pound largemouth in the boat for anyone who sticks with reaction baits and covers water. When the current runs, a few big heads in the 6‑plus class are coming off main‑river grass edges and shell bars on lipless cranks and big crankbaits.

A couple of hot spots to circle:

- **Buck Island / River channel grass**: The grass edges on the river side of Buck Island have been classic winter producers. Work lipless cranks and chatterbaits through 4–8 feet, ripping free from grass. When TVA pushes water, slide out and hit the first break with a small swimbait.

- **Honeycomb Creek and adjacent main‑la

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in from Lake Guntersville.

We’ve got classic winter-Tennessee-River conditions this morning: cold, light north breeze, and a high-pressure sky settling in after recent fronts. Local weather services are calling for temps climbing from the 30s into the low 50s with a mix of sun and high clouds, and just a light ripple on the main lake. Sunrise is right around 6:40 a.m. with sunset near 4:35 p.m., so you’ve got a short but prime winter window.

Guntersville is a reservoir, so no true tide, but the TVA current schedule is the “tide chart” here. When they pull water at the dam, the ledges and river-channel swings light up; when current slacks off, the bite gets tougher and pushes fish tighter to cover.

FishingReminder’s solunar tables have today pegged as an excellent day, with a minor feed around first light, a strong major bite late morning to early afternoon, and another minor push toward evening. That fits what we’re seeing on the water: slower early, then a flurry once the sun warms the grass edges and the current starts moving.

Bass-wise, recent local reports and winter videos from Lake Guntersville anglers show good numbers of 2–4 pound largemouth with a few 5s and better mixed in, especially on Alabama rigs and swimbaits slow-rolled through grass in 8–15 feet. One YouTube angler focusing on winter Guntersville A‑rig fishing reported multiple quality bites in a day on that setup, including a pair of solid 5‑pounders. December-through-March is prime big-fish season on TVA lakes, and Major League Fishing’s winter coverage backs that up.

Crappie are chewing too. Regional crappie channels fishing Guntersville in winter have been boating steady slabs on small plastics and minnows over brush and deeper docks, with catches in the 25–40 fish range on good days when you stay on the schools.

Best producers right now:

- **Lures for bass**

- Alabama rig with 3.5–4.3 inch paddletail swimbaits in shad or pearl.

- Lipless crankbaits and mid-depth cranks over dying grass.

- Football and grass jigs with compact craw trailers for that cold-water “one big bite” game.

- Finesse swimbaits and minnow-style plastics on light heads for pressured fish.

- **Bait**

- Live shiners for bass if you’re soaking minnows on points and creek mouths.

- Minnows and small jigs for crappie on brush, bridge pilings, and docks.

Work your baits slow. Let that rig or jig hover and tick the grass tops; most bites feel like weight, not a thump.

A couple of local hot spots to try:

- **Brown’s Creek / Spring Creek area**: plenty of grass, channel swings, and marinas like Spring Creek Marina holding bait; great for A‑rigs, traps, and jigs.

- **Buck Island and around Guntersville Marina**: classic winter grass, hard spots, and community holes where current sweeps across points and bars. Slow-roll an A‑rig or drag a jig and you’re in the game.

If the main lake gets tough, slide into **Short Creek or Honeycomb Creek** and finesse them with s

Name’s Artificial Lure, checking in with your Lake Guntersville fishing rundown.

We’re sitting on a classic North Alabama late‑fall pattern. According to WeatherBug’s Guntersville feed, we’re looking at cool, clear high‑pressure weather, highs in the low 60s, lows around 40, light ENE to SW winds and dry air. Sunrise is right around 6:45 a.m. with sunset near 4:45–5:00 p.m., so your prime low‑light windows are short but sweet.

Guntersville’s a TVA lake, so no true tide, but you still live and die by current. When they’re pulling water at the dam, the bite on the river ledges and main‑lake grass edges jumps; when it’s slack, you’re better off sliding shallow or into creek mouths. FishingReminder’s Guntersville solunar tables call out stronger activity around the late‑morning and just‑before‑dark windows, and that lines up with what we’re seeing on the water.

Bass activity has been decent despite the pressure drop. Local reports and recent tournament chatter have 15–20 pound bags pretty common, with some hammers still cracking mid‑20s on five fish. Major League Fishing’s coverage from recent cold‑weather Guntersville events shows big sacks coming on three main players: lipless cranks, bladed jigs, and flat‑sided crankbaits. Azuma Shaker Zs, BOOYAH One Knockers, Bill Lewis Rat‑L‑Traps, Berkley Frittside 5s, and JackHammer chatterbaits all put serious fish in the boat when the water cooled down.

Right now, best baits:

- **Lipless crankbait** in red, Rayburn red, or gold shiner, 1/2 oz. Rip it over submerged grass in 4–8 feet and let it fall into the holes.

- **Bladed jig** (JackHammer style) with a green pumpkin or shad trailer, slow‑rolling along outside grass lines and around creek mouths.

- **Flat‑sided crankbait** in shad or craw for those colder, still mornings on rock and hard spots.

- **Alabama rig** on river ledges with 3.3‑inch swimbaits when the current rolls and the bait balls stack up.

For live bait folks, a lively shiner or big shad on a slip‑sinker rig around bridge pilings, channel swings, and deeper creek mouths will still fool a few heavy largemouths. Crappie are holding tight to brush and deeper docks; minnows or small jigs in natural shad colors are the ticket.

Couple hot spots to circle:

- **Seibold Creek area**: Outside grass edges and the first couple channel swings are holding quality fish, especially when there’s a little breeze.

- **Alred and Guntersville Marina stretch**: Mixed rock, grass, and boat docks give you plenty of targets; great place to cover water with a lipless or chatterbait.

If you’re comfortable running, those **Buck Island** grass flats and the ledges just above **Guntersville Dam** light up when TVA cranks the current.

Work fast stuff at first light, slow down with a flat‑side or jig when the sun gets up, then get aggressive again late in the day as shadows stretch. Keep an eye on the wind; a little ripple on those grass edges can be the difference between a slow day and a photo‑worthy bag.
