How today’s Lake Guntersville water temp affects the bite
A Guntersville water temp in the mid-50s to mid-60s °F usually fires the best bite. Brief warm-ups can push fish shallow for topwater, chatterbaits, and lipless action, while cooling trends stack them on edges, shell, and current seams. For crappie, stable temps in the 60s concentrate fish on brush, docks, and channel edges and open up strong forward-facing sonar opportunities.
