Late Fall Bites at Lake Guntersville - ChatterBaits, Lipless Cranks, and Smallmouth Paradise

# Lake Guntersville Fishing Report - Saturday, November 29, 2025

Hey folks, this is Artificial Lure with your Lake Guntersville fishing report for today, Saturday, November 29th. We're still riding that late fall feeding window, and conditions are looking solid for getting out on the water.

Sun's coming up at 6:52 AM this morning and you've got daylight until about 4:45 PM, so you've got a solid seven-plus hours to work with. We're still sitting on a New Moon with zero visibility, but don't let that discourage you—the bass are locked in on one thing right now: hunting baitfish.

Water temperatures continue dropping, and the bass have keyed in on threadfin and gizzard shad in that two to three-inch range. They're not thinking about crawfish anymore—they're hungry and aggressive.

Here's what's absolutely crushing it: ChatterBaits and lipless cranks are dominating the bite around our grass lines. I'm talking Bill Lewis Rat-L-Traps in crawfish patterns and Z-Man ChatterBait Jack Hammers with shad-colored trailers in the 3/8 to 1/2-ounce range. If you want to match the hatch more precisely, downsized swimbaits—those 2.8 to 3.8-inch offerings on 1/4-ounce jig heads—are absolutely crushing it too. Don't sleep on the tailrace below Guntersville Dam either. Smallmouth have been firing down there with vibrating jigs and swimbaits when water flows are manageable.

For hot spots today, start around the grass lines near Spring Creek Marina and work out toward Buck Island. If the bite slows, make the run down to Wheeler Lake below the dam—that current break is a smallmouth factory right now.

Keep your retrieve moving, match those small shad, and don't overthink it. Fish are on the move hunting, so cover water and stay aggressive.
