With everything aligning just right Guntersville may very well witness one of the most impressive spawning events in recent m...

The weather is warming and the moon is waxing which means big groups of hungry bass are moving out of the channel and searching for food in the shallows. There will be a group spawn on this moon phase but I think the vast majority will remain prespawn for a while. The key to finding these fish is setting up on a high percentage area near a spawni...

Lake Guntersville Is Looking Pretty Good With A Lot Of Healthy Bass Swimming Around! We had the Toyota Series here last week and we had decent weather for a change seems like every time this tournament comes along we get some major weather event. This time we had some rain before it and it did […] The post Toyota Series Recap Lake Guntersville fir...

Day 1 of the Toyota series at guntersville displayed the incredible fishery we have. 28 pounds is leading,20 pounds is 29th and 59th is 18 pounds. These weights are incredible and as the weather improves the fishing will just get better. You can catch them any way you want to right now. Livescopers are catching fish, the offshore rock piles...

Water temps have risen from 39 to 55 in two weeks and the lake is fishing very strong. The BFL is Saturday and the Toyota is next week. I expect big weights at the top and the check cut will take a strong showing as well. I did 3 guide trips this week and we caught 20-35 bass per day with our best 5 ranging from 17-21 pounds per day. You can catc...

The weather has stabilized and the fishing is incredible at the moment. Last week I did 4 guide trips and we landed a total of 95 bass from 3-7 pounds. There are 3 dominant patterns at the moment. A big swimbait slow rolled around the bridge columns is a great way to win a tournament with huge weight. A football jig fished in 12 feet near channel...

Wow!!! 5 days of extreme cold followed by 65 degree weather has yielded phenomenal fishing as expected. The grass is thinned out and the bass are feeding. This week we have caught them at will all day every day. This time of year the average fish is 4 pounds and they are healthy and beautiful. There are 3 dominant patterns on the lake at the mome...

This extreme cold will absolutely make spring bass fishing better. Several environmental factors are at play here. One thing that will happen is the entire water column is now cold. As soon as it warms up bass will flood the shallows. The next big factor is the aquatic vegetation will thin out and it will group up the fish and it's easier to...

Wow. Guntersville is ridiculous. Congratulations to Eric Lampkin for winning the New Year's Day tournament with 5 fish that weighed 32.3 pounds. It took 29 pounds to get a check. There were many 20 plus pound bags that got a pat on the back. Guntersville has worked hard to maintain a healthy fishery with excellent habitat and the recent stock...

2023 was my best year to date as far as total bass catches is concerned. My boat averaged over 30 bass landed per day and the size was excellent landing 5@18-19 pounds regularly. My crappie guides also had an excellent year limiting out on most trips and filling a cooler every time. I did 187 trips this year and I look forward to doing even more...

It's 65 degrees and the bass are feeding at guntersville. The bass are starting to position themselves strategically for the spawn. Points and humps out from spawning areas are where our best fishing is at the moment. Depths from 6-9 feet are usually best and our best baits have been crankbaits and chatterbaits. This time of year we get 15-20...

Wow!!! This week was one for the ages. I guided everyday this week and guntersville showed out for us. Warm weather and good water color set the stage for phenomenal fishing. My clients averaged landing 25 bass per day with the average size almost 4 pounds. We tripled up on 5 pounders Wednesday and ended the day with 8 fish over 5 and two over 6....

Winter fishing has become my favorite time to be on Guntersville. In December and January the usually crowded ramps are empty and the fish are hungry. The last two weeks on half day trips my clients have averaged landing 17-18 bass and the average size is about 3.75 pounds with many fish over 4 pounds. There are 3 ways to  approach winter fi...

November has been the best in years maybe decades. The water is warmer than normal and the fish are feeding agressively. Yesterdays water temp was 61 so December is setting up to be spectacular. As the nights cool the water off the bigger fish will move out of the channels to feed up for the upcoming spawn. The primary forage is still shad but bl...

It's 75 degrees and the water temperature is in the high 60s. The numbers of fish we are catching is unreal for November. This week I did 3 guide trips and we caught 24,38, and 41 bass. The size is good with fish averaging around 3 pounds. My primary pattern is shad imitating baits in the shallows and I move quickly until a school fires. With...

Today was a challenge but with the right adjustments we landed 38 nice bass at guntersville. We also saw 6 deer and 3 eagles which is exciting for my clients. We zeroed on my first two holes which have been my best places historically this time of year however I am very calculated and strategic so it didn't phase me at all. On my third stop a...

Finally the water temp is in the 60s and we have a true fall bite. This last week has been our best week for quality and quantity in months and will continue to Improve. Today we landed 50 with a best 5 of 19lbs. We have averaged 40 a day this week. You can catch them in 1 foot or 30 feet and anywhere in between. Best baits have been a freeloader...
