It’s no secret. Bass fishing in Alabama is as good as it gets. Now more than ever, people are talking about it. Earlier this year, a Game & Fish magazine story named two of the lakes of the trail as top spots for fishing in Alabama. The story by Frank Turner named Lake Guntersville and Lake Eufaula as exceptional fisheries.

Turner says, “Alabama offers a lot of great choices for bass anglers, which is probably why it’s home to B.A.S.S., as well as many professional bass anglers. However, at present two lakes really stand out for anglers, one in the northern counties, one in the southeast.

“Guntersville sprawls through the foothills of the Appalachians, creating a wide variety of bass habitat,” he continues, noting the varied bottom contour, abundance of cover and variety of vegetation.

“Lake Eufaula, an impoundment of the Chattahoochee River on Alabama’s southeast border with Georgia, has been on a roll in recent years, returning to some of the glory it had decades back with exceptional numbers of large largemouth bass, as well as plenty of stripers and hybrids,” Turner concludes.
