Guntersville FIshing Charter June 16th Guntersville bass fishing report
We had 3 boats out this morning and guntersville showed out. The big fish of the day was 7.02 and we had 7 fish over 5lbs. The three boat total was 80 fish caught in 5 hours. Most of the fish are out on the ledges and we are throwing spoons and hair jigs. When it gets hot guntersville seems to get better while other lakes get worse. The lake is full of grass and the stocking program has been a great success. When the days start getting shorter the fish will start schooling and that's when it is fast and furious.

Guntersville FIshing Charter June 9th Guntersville bass fishing report
This week we have guided everyday and the fishing has been excellent. We are averaging 30 bass landed on 5 hour trips. The size is excellent right now as most of my trips have had a 5 fish weight total around 18lbs. Out deep is where the bigger fish are and a 6xd crankbait in chartreuse/blue has been the best bait. There are also fish shallow that can be caught on a topwater bait the first few hours of the morning. Guntersville is full of grass and the stocking program has been beneficial as well.

Guntersville FIshing Charter June 5th Logan Martin bass fishing report
I have guided on Logan Martin twice recently and we have caught them good deep and shallow. With bright sun and current the ledge bite is pretty consistent. Our best baits out on the ledges were a Carolina rig and a big crankbait. Early mornings and in low light conditions with no current we stayed shallow with a buzzbait and spinnerbait and were able to get a surprising number of bites and the size was much better shallow. In two days down there we caught about 40 fish and our best day we had 5 fish that weighed 14lbs.

Wow!!! This place is fishing the best it has in decades. It's taking over 20lbs to win every Saturday and the lake is full of healthy 2-3 pound fish. I have guided at Neely all week and we are getting 40-50 bites per day. We are catching an even mix of spots and largemouth. The best baits have been big crankbaits out on the ledges and a green pumpkin jig shallow. This place has tons of structure so leave your light line at home. Neely is power fishing 101.

Guntersville FIshing Charter May 27th Guntersville fishing report
Guntersville is one of the most dynamic and challenging lakes in the country. It is widely regarded as the top bass fishing lake in the southeast United States. It isn't easy though it takes hard work and preparation to be successful on this massive lake. Currently we are catching fish out on the tennesee river ledges with crankbaits and spoons. Yesterday my client caught his personal best which is always a special day. On half day trips I am averaging about 20 fish landed. My crappie guides are limiting out in the brushpiles easily. Go by gto or waterfront and stock up on tackle. If you are interested in fishing with a USCG licensed guide call 256-744-5185 or visit www.shaneellisfishing.com

Guntersville FIshing Charter May 12th Guntersville fishing report
I had 2 guide trips yesterday. We got 100 bites per trip and landed around 60 fish per trip. The fishing at guntersville is phenomenal right now. It took 25.11 for 5th place Saturday at goose pond and 31 won last Saturday. The fish are in 1 foot all the way out to 40 feet. Our best baits right now are crankbaits and jerkbaits fished along the transitional routes where the fish are moving toward their summer areas. A pleasant surprise is the amount of big spotted bass that are in the lake now. If you are interested in fishing with a USCG licensed guide call 256-744-5185 or visit www.shaneellisfishing.com 

Guntersville FIshing Charter May 5th Guntersville fishing report
Shellcracker season is here!!! It only lasts a few weeks and this is the most fun fishing trip there is. I caught 200 big bluegill and shellcracker yesterday and it will get better as the water warms. Every client I take loves it and wants to go again. The bass fishing is phenomenal. It took 31 lbs to win at goosepond Saturday and those weights will be par for the course throughout the summer. The bass are shallow and on beds as well as on the river channel and anywhere in between. A super spook and 6xd have been great baits for us this week. The crappie are in the brushpiles and on stumps in 10-15 feet and my guides are limiting easily.

Guntersville FIshing Charter April 28th Guntersville fishing report
It is fun out on guntersville right now. If you want to fish shallow you can and if you want to catch them deep you can. The fish are definitely in all 3 phases of the spawn. There are groups moving out and groups moving up. Yesterday we had 4 trips and landed over 200 bass. Our best baits are crankbaits and jerkbaits. You can catch numbers of small fish shallow but it seems like the bigger fish are deeper as usual. The crappie fishing is outstanding as most of them have recovered from the spawn and are set up on structure and feeding. We are catching them on a 1/16 oz jig with a Bobby garland type grub in blue ice and monkey milk. Go by GTO and stock up on tackle.
