Crisp November Fishing on Alabama's Big G - Guntersville Report for Nov 5, 2025

Artificial Lure here with your Lake Guntersville fishing report for Wednesday, November 5th, 2025. It’s a classic crisp November morning on the Big G — we woke up to lows around 43°F, and it’s not likely to get much above 50°F today. Bluebird skies and a gentle north breeze rule the forecast, with sunrise clocking in at 6:17 AM and sunset rolling in early at 4:47 PM. Visibility’s good, humidity’s low, and a little patchy fog burned off before most folks had breakfast. Guntersville’s a TVA reservoir, so there’s no tide, but as always, check the TVA’s power generation schedule — when that current’s running, fish are hot to bite, especially around main river points and bridge pilings. Solunar activity is peaking from just before daybreak through early morning, then again from late afternoon into dusk, according to the Solunar Forecast. Major bite times today sit around 5:52 to 7:52 AM and again from 6:09 to 8:09 PM; that’s prime time to be on the water when the water temperature starts to swing. Recent tournament results and what locals are saying: folks have weighed in largemouth up to nearly 7 pounds just this past weekend, with winning sacks tipping above sixty pounds for multi-day events. The bass bite is right on schedule with fall patterns — big schools of fish are pushing shallow after bait, with shad all over creek mouths and feeding along grass edges. Folks on BassinBigG.com are reporting flurries of topwater action when the baitfish are busting the surface — if you see the commotion, cast right into it and be ready; big bass are hungry in these conditions. Best lures and baits for today: - Spinnerbaits and squarebill crankbaits are absolutely on fire right now. Chartreuse or white blades in 3/8 or 1/2 ounce work wonders around grass edges and bait pods. Wired2Fish called November “prime spinnerbait month” and the lake is living up to that. - Buzzbaits are still working during low light — 3/8 or 1/4 ounce, fished slow along inside weed lines. - Black/blue or brown/orange Arkie-style jigs are producing around deeper docks and laydowns. Work ‘em slow on hard-bottom flats or riprap. - The Krej jerkbait is quietly slaying open water schooling bass — let it sink, then twitch, you’ll pull up some of the smarter fish. - Jika rigs and Ned rigs, especially with Z-Man Fuzzy TRD, are quietly cleaning up in milfoil and hydrilla. If you want to go old school, a live shiner or native shad under a float is still magic for big, wary bass. Crappie are starting to stack up on the deep brush piles and bridge piers — small minnows or jigs around Guntersville State Park piers are your best bet. Catfish are active as well during nighttime and right after sunset with cut bait or stink bait on channel ledges. If you’re looking for today’s hotspots: - Brown’s Creek is producing on the inside grass lines and docks, especially early. Get your spinnerbait or buzzbait hugging the edge at first light. - Seibold Creek is loaded with bait, so throw a squarebill or j This content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI.
