What is the best time of year to fish in Lake Guntersville, AL?

Lake Guntersville fishes well year-round, but the best times for big Bass are spring (March–May) and fall (October–November).

What should I bring on my fishing trip in Lake Guntersville?

Bring a valid Alabama fishing license, sunscreen, drinks, snacks, and weather-appropriate clothing.

The boat is fully stocked with all the gear and tackle, so no need to bring any of that unless you want to.
