Lake Guntersville is a world renowned lake for bass fishing, but the lake offers much more than epic fishing. It's a paddler's playground with countless coves, fingers, creeks and rivers to explore. In this episode of Paddle Tales, I visit two of the most unique and wild destinations in the area - the Painted Bluffs and Hambrick Caves, where tens of thousands of bats come out at water level every night to feed.

Yup! I totally forgot that I was paddling a portable kayak! That's pretty amazing...

Nice video. My friend told me about this not long ago. I want to go into some of the caves that surround the lake

Thanks as always Ken. I look forward to your videos. I wanted to ask what spray skirt and size you use for the pakayak. My very own arrived this month and I need a proper spray skirt that fits the boat. Keep up the great work and content.

I am a specialist in bats, and my hobby is kayaking. I'm glad you didn’t talk negatively about bats, those 60,000 eat thousands of insect pests, they are important for us. Nice video, beautiful place! Saludos from Costa Rica

I couldn't agree more! Cheers!

So, it wasn't obvious in the video, the paddling portion of this video is obviously two separate trips and days, not a single trip. One trip north of the dam and one south of the dam, right? Different clothes are a good clue. Not knowing the area, it took me a minute to connect those dots (for a kayak) on the map.

can you have a test review on wonitago kayak paddle, They are cheap enough that I want to buy one of their fiberglass paddles，But I don't know if their quality is good enough for a long kayaking recreation.

Never heard of them. I'll have to check them out.
