Guntersville's clear water is altering patterns Wednesday, May 19, 2021 (Editor's note: This feature comes from Alan McGuckin of Dynamic Sponsorships.) Matt Areys not saying Guntersvilles water clarity is anywhere near that of the bottled water for sale at the lakes iconic Waterfront Bay Grocery & Tackle store. But he will tell you its the clearest hes ever seen Guntersville in his 13 years of fishing professional tournaments on the famed northeastern Alabama bass fishery. I fished my first pro-level event here in 2007 or 2008, and Ill promise you, Ive never seen Guntersville this clear. There are places where you can see your lure 5 feet below the surface, said Arey while fueling up next to Seth Feider at Waterfront Grocery after two days of practice.
