Lake Guntersville - Freshwater Fishing Report
This week on Lake Guntersville, the weather has been challenging, with heavy rainfall and high winds. Tuesday and Tuesday night saw over 4 inches of rain, followed by gusty winds on Wednesday. The current picked up as the lake began to recede, shifting from 594 to 595.30 by Thursday. By Saturday morning, the water level had dropped to 594.70, and today, it's back to 594.00. The fluctuating water levels have affected the fishing, but despite the challenges, the fishing has remained really good. The key has been relocating fish daily as they adjust to the shifting water conditions.
We've been using a variety of baits, depending on where the fish are holding, and adapting to the water changes. On Friday, we saw a slight increase in water temperature, only to have it drop again today due to the changing weather. The fishing has been consistent overall, but the fish are definitely moving with the water.
I fished the BFL tournament on Saturday, and it didn't go as planned. It started off rough when I broke the screws holding my graphs to the front of the boat, which meant I couldn't run properly. I had to drive at only 30 miles per hour to get to my first spot. Thankfully, I was able to fix the issue with some tools from a buddy, but we lost over an hour of fishing time. The first area I fished didn't produce, as the water was too muddy, but the second spot worked out better, and both my co-angler and I caught some fish.

Lake Guntersville Fishing Forecast:
Next week's forecast brings another cold snap to Lake Guntersville, with colder weather expected to stick around for a while. Fishing should remain moderately good as the bass adapt to the cooler temps, but once the warming trend hits, expect the bite to go wild! It'll be an exciting time to be on the water when things heat up. Stay tuned, and be ready to hit the lake as conditions improve!
