Guntersville Lake, Alabama - Freshwater Fishing Report
Waterfront to Goosepond
A friend and I launched out of Waterfront today not really knowing what to expect since we just got a bunch of snow yesterday. The water is clear and back down to winter level they way I prefer it, but we had to fight the cold NW wind. We fished from Waterfront up to Goosepond using the Xcalibur Xr50 Rattle Bait (Royal red & Rayburn Red) and the Xcalibur Xt3 Twitch Bait (ghost & clown). We targeted grass flats and breaklines and the fish were positioned in 5-8ft of water. For the day we managed to land 7 fish (all keepers) and had three others pull off.
For you Angler’s that are getting geared up for the coming season, Keller’s Tackle on hwy 431 (6 miles north of Lake Guntersville) is now an authorized Falcon dealer and has them in stock. Stop by and check them out!

Bio: I have been fishing Lake Guntersville my entire life and I specialize in fishing grass on Lake Gunterville. Living here in North Alabama all my life, I have over 19 years experience bass fishing on beautiful Lake Guntersville and other area lakes. I began tournament fishing at the age of 16 in local bass clubs. Not long after I then moved on to the nationally known trails such as Angler’s Choice, BFL, B.A.I.T. and other large local tournaments. If you want the opportunity to catch bass, learn seasonal tactics, and have a wonderful time on the water, then your search stops here. Bass fishing is not just my job, it's my passion!
