Lake Guntersville Fishing Report - February 26, 2025 - Alex Davis
Right now, the water temperature is 50°F, up from 44°F just three days ago. Today is Thursday, and with a warming trend underway, temps will continue to rise.
With the warming water, a lot of fish have moved from deeper water into shallower areas. Based on what I’ve seen over the past few days, here are the best baits:
Top Baits Right Now
🎣 Old-School XR50 Raven Red
🎣 Fire Craw Jackhammer with a Freeloader Trailer
The water is very stained where I’ve been fishing, so these high-visibility baits have been key. If the water were clearer, I’d opt for more natural colors. The water is expected to clear up in the next week, so I’d recommend switching to:
- Green Pumpkin Shad or
- Royal Shad (for chatterbaits).
Additional Weapons of Choice
🔥 Stealth Rig (316 Head) in Green Shad – This setup has been solid.
🔥 Scottsboro Swimbait in Natty Light – Another go-to option for me.
That’s the game plan for now! I’ll check back in next week with another update. Tight lines! 🎣
