あらすじ・解説
As of December 21, 2024, Lake Guntersville in Alabama is offering some exceptional fishing conditions, especially with the winter solstice marking the shortest day of the year.
First, let's look at the daylight hours: sunrise is at 6:47 AM and sunset at 4:38 PM, giving us about 9 hours and 51 minutes of daylight[2].
The weather has been quite favorable, with recent rain and temperatures around 65 degrees, which has gotten the bass moving. Yesterday's fishing trips yielded about 15 fish per day, with the quality of the catch being some of the best since last winter[5].
For bass fishing, you'll find fishable populations at every depth zone. The bigger fish are still out in 12-19 feet around bait, but there's also a significant shallow bite. Jerkbait and freeloaders have been working well, especially in current breaks near creek channels[5].
Crappie fishing is also strong, with bridges, brushpiles, and bluffs being hot spots. They are feeding aggressively in 10-15 feet of water. Tight lining Bobby Garland type baits in monkey milk and blue ice colors on a 1/16th oz jighead has been very effective[5].
Other fish species such as bluegill, sunfish, and gar are also active. For sunfish, target shallower water areas with weeded beds using live bait or soft plastic worms. For gar, look around sunken debris and weeded water beds using live bait like worms, frogs, or shiners[3].
Hot spots include the creek ledges, especially around Siebold Creek and Brown’s Creek, and near the Guntersville Dam and Nickajack Dam. These areas provide structured habitats that attract a variety of fish species[3].
In summary, Lake Guntersville is in prime condition for winter fishing. With the right lures and bait, you can expect a productive day on the water, catching bass, crappie, and other species. So, gear up and take advantage of this excellent fishing opportunity.
