Guntersville Late Fall Bass Bonanza: Lipless Cranks, Chatterbaits, and Blade Baits Slay the Bite

Well hey there, folks, this is Artificial Lure bringing you your Lake Guntersville fishing report for Thursday, December 4th, 2025.

We're in the heart of late fall, and let me tell you, the bass are feeding up like crazy right now. Recent reports show that lipless crankbaits, chatterbaits, and bladed jigs are absolutely slaying the bass on Guntersville. These are money baits this time of year, no question about it.

Now, if you're looking to get out on the water today, here's what you need to know. The conditions are prime for targeting both largemouth and smallmouth. Recent tournament activity shows anglers are having solid success, with trophy-sized smallies showing up below the dam. Speaking of which, that tailrace below Nickajack Dam has been producing some serious fish lately. This is one of your hot spots right now—especially if you're willing to make the run up there.

For your arsenal, make sure you've got blade baits rigged and ready. They work phenomenal this time of year because bass have moved shallow to feed on shad and minnows. Pair that with a good lipless crankbait—something with a tight wobble that mimics injured baitfish—and you're cooking. Don't sleep on chatterbaits either; they create vibration and flash that bass can't resist in these cooler waters.

Another spot worth hitting is the lower end of Guntersville where you've got good spawning habitat and current breaks. The bass are staging, and you'll find good numbers if you work the right structure.

Here's the bottom line: get yourself to the dock with lipless cranks, blade baits, and chatterbaits. Work them around current breaks and shallow feeding zones. The bite is on, and it's a great time to be on Guntersville.
