An easy fishing getaway from Huntsville
Huntsville anglers have one of the best bass lakes in the country sitting just southeast of the city, close enough to leave after coffee and be on fish before town wakes up. Trading Rocket City traffic for a quiet morning on Lake Guntersville is one of the easiest day trips in North Alabama.
Lake Guntersville is an easy day-trip drive southeast of Huntsville, fish the morning and still be home for dinner. A 4-hour trip works well for a quick run; a 6-hour trip gives you more time to work seasonal patterns and cover water. Not sure which? Shane can help you decide.
