Yellow Bass
Guntersville Lake in Alabama is a fantastic location to tangle with yellow bass, especially if you're looking for fast action. This Tennessee River impoundment offers expansive grass flats, humps, and submerged channels that hold good populations of yellow bass. Spring and fall are prime times, as the fish school up tightly and are actively feeding. During the spring spawn, focus on shallow, grassy areas. In the fall, look for schools of shad being chased by yellow bass in deeper water. Small crankbaits, spinners, and jigs are all effective lures. A key local tip is to pay attention to your electronics. Yellow bass often congregate in large schools, so finding them is half the battle. Also, Guntersville is a large lake, so having a good map and GPS is essential. There are numerous public boat ramps around the lake, but they can get crowded on weekends, so plan accordingly. The yellow bass in Guntersville aren't huge, averaging around a pound, but their aggressive nature and schooling behavior make for exciting fishing.
