White Crappie
Lake Guntersville is renowned for its crappie fishing, and white crappie are a popular target. What makes Guntersville special is its abundance of submerged timber and grass, providing excellent cover for crappie. The best time to target them is during the pre-spawn period in early spring (March-April) when they move into shallower waters around creek mouths and spawning flats. Trolling jigs or minnows around these areas can be highly effective. Another productive time is the fall, as the water cools and crappie start to school up again in deeper water near creek channels. For bank access, try fishing around the bridges and causeways that cross the lake. A local tip: pay attention to the water clarity, as crappie prefer slightly stained water. Many anglers use side-imaging sonar to locate schools of crappie around submerged structure. Guntersville crappie are known for their good size, with many fish exceeding a pound.
