Guadalupe Bass
While Guntersville Lake is renowned for its largemouth bass fishing, anglers looking for a unique challenge can pursue Guadalupe bass in the feeder creeks and rivers that flow into the lake. This species, more commonly associated with Texas Hill Country, has a limited range in Alabama, but Guntersville offers a chance to target them. Look for clear, flowing water with plenty of rocks and submerged timber. The Paint Rock River, which feeds into the lake, is a known hotspot. Spring and fall are ideal, as the fish are more active in cooler water. Small crankbaits, spinners, and finesse worms fished around rocky areas can be effective. Access to these areas can be challenging, often requiring wading or kayak fishing. Be aware of water levels and potential hazards like submerged logs. Guadalupe bass in this area are typically smaller than largemouth, but their aggressive strikes and willingness to hit artificial lures make them a fun target. Remember to handle these fish with care and release them to help maintain the population.
