Cooler weather is on the way!!! September is the month where we see the highest numbers of bass caught all year. I have had many guide trips inwhich my clients landed over 100. Many of them were 1 and 2 lbers but at guntersville if you catch that many bass your best 5 will be heavy. The frog bite is getting better everyday, the deep bite is bette...

Wow!!! The big fish showed up this week. One of my trips landed a best 5 over 24lbs. The rain,cooler nights and shorter days have the big fish feeding agressively at guntersville. We have been consistently landing over 30 fish a day and now the size is showing up as well. This fall is setting up to be one for the ages. If you find the bait you wi...

The humidity is dropping and the days are getting shorter. What does that mean? Bites and lots of them. This is when we catch the highest number of fish all year long. I had 3 groups of clients this week and we caught 35 to 50 bass on half day trips with our best 5 ranging from 16-19lbs per day. You can catch them in any depth at the moment...

The days are getting shorter and the fish are on the move. The pre fall shad migration has started relative to the length of day and thermocline depletion. The bass are locked on bait and they are following it from the river channel as they move towards the fall staging areas. We have been catching 30-40 per day with several nice fish each day. T...

Guntersville has been fishing strong for numbers with some days proving better than others. Up until recently there hasn’t been any current which has posed some challenges. Some days have been particularly tough as the bass have been nomadic making it difficult to predict their movements. Anglers have had to adapt to these changing conditions […]...

I keep expecting Guntersville to slow down but it just gets better. I did 2 trips this week and we caught 40 per day with several big fish. The grass is the healthiest I have seen it in a long time and the bass population is at an apex. We caught fish from 2 feet to 20 feet and on every stop. Our best baits out deep are a hair jig and a spoon. Up...

The bite at guntersville just keeps getting better and better. This is the only lake I have ever seen that is at its best in the hottest weather and the coldest weather. The winter bite is incredible. Shhhhh. Fisher and Ryan won the abt with 27lbs and it took 18 to get a check. Every pattern is in play at the moment. If you like ledge fishing go...

June has been a good time on Guntersville. We went from spring-type weather to summer in a day. As a client humorously stated “You guys don’t have the ozone down here!” Indeed it feels like we’ve jumped straight into the heat of summer. Our water temperature has been getting up to summer levels currently hanging […] The post Lake Guntersville June...

In this hot weather taking care of our resource is imperative. The fishing industry generates 500 billion dollars per year. To put that in perspective the NFL generates 19 billion. Without the fish there is no fishing industry. If you catch a nice fish take a quick picture and release it. The tournaments at the top of our industry do a great job...

20.1 won the 3 fish tournament Tuesday afternoon. Wired2fish writer Sam Hanggi ranks Guntersville 3rd in the country. This place keeps on producing in spite of the pressure and hot weather. This week we averaged 20 bass landed per day with several big ones showing up each trip. The famous ledges are producing but the grass bite is still there and...

Guntersville is as good as it gets at the moment. 20 pounds isn't competitive in the 5 fish weekend warrior tournaments. The afternoon 3 fish tournaments are taking 17-19 pounds. As the fishing pressure has increased the behavior patterns of the bass have become more dynamic and inconsistent. Ofcourse there are schools of big ones meandering...

Summer Fishing Update Summer time is here according to the calendar but the weather hasn’t caught up yet. The bass have been biting well for the most part. Water temperatures are below what they normally are for this time of year; we are seeing temperatures between 77-80 degrees. The interesting part about now is we […] The post GUNTERSVILLE JUNE...

I had 4 guide trips this week and the fishing was really good. We have been landing about 20 on half day trips with our best 5 anywhere from 18-21 lbs. The bigger fish have moved out on the ledges however they are extremely current oriented. There are still plenty of fish on the outside grasslines in 7-8 feet. Our best baits out deep are a spoon...

Guntersville is getting better and better as the water gets warmer. It's taking over 25 pounds to compete in the weekend tournaments and over 18 pounds to win the 3 fish afternoon tournaments. I did 3 guide trips this week and the fishing was spectacular. On 5 hour trips we are landing about 20 fish with several really big fish mixed in. &nbs...

Fishing on Guntersville is exceptionally good right now with both high numbers and decent sizes of fish being caught averaging about 50 a day. This has certainly made for fun days on the water. Although the weather has been atypical for mid-May it’s clear that the fish are loving it. The water temp has been […] The post GUNTERSVILLE FISHING NOW IS...

Guntersville in May can be a lot of fun but it can also challenge your skill set. There are 3 completely different patterns emerging. Deep ledges are starting to fire when the current is rolling. Bream beds are a great way to get a lot of bites and the shad spawn can be the deal in the early morning hours. I did 3 guide trips this week and the nu...

Guntersville has really turned on in the last few days with the much needed rain and current. I guided 4 days this week and the catch rates improved daily. There is always a shallow bite in a grass lake and that is evident at the moment but now there is a deep bite as well. We averaged 20 fish landed on 5 hour trips this week and some days our be...

Fishing on Lake Guntersville: An Adventure Amidst Changing Climates Fishing on Lake Guntersville is invariably an adventure for anglers and this past late April was no exception. The month threw everything conceivable at us—except actual snowfall although some mornings felt chillingly close to it. The painful winds that accompanied the last cold f...

Guntersville is a massive and dynamic fishery. Now is the time to hone your skills at every technique. There are fish in 1 foot and 30 feet as well as anywhere in between. You can catch them on a big crankbait or a frog or just about anything in your box but you have to adjust and adapt to be succesful on a consistent basis. I guided everyday thi...

Water temps are in the 70s and everything in the lake is spawning. It's fun out there right now but it can also be challenging. I did 4 guide trips this week and we have caught them from 18 inches to 18 feet. We are catching about 25 a day and the average size is excellent for April. The easiest way to get bit is plastics up shallow but the b...
