Panfish

Lake Guntersville has some very good fishing for panfish as well even though, panfish are often overlooked by the thousands of bass anglers that come here to fish every year.  The crappie bite is very good in the spring and there’s a lot of obvious cover to fish whether it is wood or docks, if you time it right, you can catch a lot of good fish in the shallows.  Once the crappie go deeper, they are harder to catch, but they are still here.  The bluegill and other types of bream are also here in good numbers.  The spring is best as these fish move into the shallows in huge numbers.  In summer and fall, you’re going to have to find them schooled up in deeper water, which can be a lot more challenging.
