Spring on Wilson Lake by Reed Montgomery (3/18/2007)

Guntersville Lake in Spring by Reed Montgomery (3/07/2007)
[Guntersville Lake,AL] Just that title is refreshing. Especially since late last winter anglers fishing Guntersville Lake were struggling with nighttime lows in the 20's and mid day highs not even reaching 50 degrees. Spring on Alabama's largest Impoundment Guntersville Lake, is as good as it gets for fishing for largemouth bass in shallow, weedy waters.

Guntersville cold weather not slowing the fish down by Tim Chandler (1/19/2007)
[Guntersville Lake,AL] Cold weather not a factor on beautiful Lake Gunterville. Today cloudy skies, light wind, and clear water made some wonderful conditions to fish Lake Guntersville. A friend of mine and I launched out of Waterfront at 9:00am and we went searching for lipless crankbait fish. On the second cast we found one and I just knew that was going to be bad luck, but it wasn't.

North Alabama's Wheeler Lake Fishing by Reed Montgomery (1/11/2007)
[Wheeler Lake,AL] North Alabama's Wheeler Lake is down for winter pool. It will remain low until April. Lake levels fluctuate up and down a foot during winter, with the lake currently down 4 feet. So like any lake that is drawn down during winter, boat navigation is hazardous, especially for first timers to Wheeler Lake, the second largest man made impoundment in Alabama.
