  • Résumé

  • This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Guntersville fishing report for May 4, 2025.

    We woke up to a cool, clear morning on the Big G, with overnight temps still dipping a bit but not enough to chill the fishing action. Water temps are holding steady in the mid-60s, perfect for both bass and crappie as they stick close to the shallows and grass beds. Sunrise was right around 5:50 AM, and sunset will come just before 7:40 PM, giving you a prime window early and late in the day when fish are biting best.

    The recent weather—cool nights with mild days—has kept things lively on the lake. A bit of wind has been moving through, but nothing too strong to keep folks off the water. No tidal swings here, so the levels have stayed relatively stable aside from some minor bumps from recent rain, and the water clarity is looking good in most spots.

    Bass are finishing up their spawn but there are still plenty cruising those flats and grass lines in 3 to 6 feet of water. If you're after trophy largemouth, this is your moment. Folks have been catching good numbers and a handful of big females in hotspots like the north end around Goose Pond, and down toward the mid-lake milfoil stretches near Seibold and Waterfront. Buzzbaits and topwater frogs have been producing early, especially close to thick grass or mats. As the sun rises, switch over to soft plastics like Senkos and creature baits, or try slow-rolling a white swim jig along deeper edges and inside weedlines for reaction bites. Lipless cranks in shad or chrome are another solid pick when fish push out a bit deeper.

    Crappie are just as hot right now, holding tight to brush piles and dock pilings, especially in the coves off the main channel. Try small jigs in white or chartreuse, or stick with live minnows for steady action. Several catches of 30-plus slabs have come from Roseberry and North Sauty creeks in the last week, with fish mostly in 5 to 10 feet of water.

    Catfish are in their usual haunts along the channel swings and deeper holes, hitting cut bait and chicken livers, especially south of the causeway.

    Your best bets for hot spots today are Goose Pond for bass and North Sauty for crappie, but any shallow grass flat from Seibold to the state park is worth a look. The bite has been strongest around dawn and the last couple hours before dark, with most anglers reporting steady action and plenty of fish to go around.

    That wraps up your Guntersville update. Fish safe, keep your lines tight, and I’ll see you on the water.
