 This is Artificial Lure with your Lake Guntersville fishing report for Sunday, May 25, 2025. The early summer pattern is setting in strong and the bite around the lake has been outstanding as we roll into Memorial Day weekend.

Weather this morning is classic late May for North Alabama, with mild temps in the upper 60s at sunrise, expected to climb into the low 80s this afternoon. Winds are light out of the southwest, which should keep the water moving just enough to fire up those ledge bites. Sunrise came at 5:38 AM and sunset will be right around 7:46 PM, giving us a long day on the water and some prime early and late windows for topwater action.

Water temps have continued to rise after a slight pullback earlier in the month, with many areas showing temps between 74 and 78 degrees. Recent rain bumped water levels a touch, but clarity has held fairly steady on the main lake, with a light stain in the backs of creeks.

Bass fishing has been red hot, with fish moving out to those classic Guntersville ledges as the shad spawn wraps up. The bite is strongest on main river ledges and deeper humps, especially mid-morning through midday once the sun gets up. Anglers are putting up impressive numbers, and tournament weigh-ins last week saw plenty of 5-fish limits pushing 20 pounds. Most of the big bags are coming on football jigs and big worms worked slow on those deeper drops. Tight Line Chatterbaits, Missile D-Bombs, and SPRO DD60 crankbaits are also getting it done, especially when the current picks up later in the afternoon. The topwater bite is still good at daybreak, with buzzbaits and walking baits drawing strikes along grass edges and over shallow shell beds.

Crappie anglers are still finding fish, with good numbers coming from brush piles and deep docks. Minnows and small jigs under slip floats have been the ticket.

Bluegill are bedding in the shallows, providing bonus action around the full moon and drawing bass nearby as well. Targeting bluegill beds can be a sneaky good way to catch a big post-spawn bass this week.

A couple of hot spots to check out right now: the mouth of Honeycomb Creek for ledge bass, and the causeway bridges near Waterfront for both crappie and bass. Don’t sleep on the main lake humps just south of Goose Pond either.

If you’re heading out today, focus on football jigs and big crankbaits on the deeper structure and keep a topwater bait handy for any schooling activity. Live bait for crappie and bluegill is working great.

That’s the scoop for Lake Guntersville. Conditions are ripe, the fish are biting, and the next few weeks should be some of the best of the year. Good luck and tight lines!
