Finally we have some good current flowing out on the tennesee river. It has been dry the last month and the water had gotten stagnant but recent rains have caused tva to generate quite a bit of current and it has positioned the fish in predictable areas. Big schools of fish have moved to the river ledges and with this water movement they are...

SPECTACULAR. This week at guntersville has been simply spectacular. I guided everyday and we caught them basically every cast everyday. We landed over 200 this week and caught tons of fish in the 3-5lb class. The best pattern has been river channel ledges with crankbaits and a hair jig. We also sent another large group of F1 bass fingerlings out...

Deep Fishing

Guntersville is absolutely spectacular right now. Day 1 of the MLF pro series 95th place was 14lbs and over 25lbs was leading. Common sentiment from the tournament anglers is Guntersville is the best largemouth bass fishery in the world only rivaled by the smallmouth fishing at Champlain. I firmly believe that this is just the beginning of s...

How to Take Advantage of Reel Speed

This is one of my favorite times of the year. A big group of fish spawned on the full moon and they are migrating towards their post spawn staging areas and some are moving into their summer areas. Bream are on bed and shad are spawning. This makes for excellent fishing opportunities when you can get dialed in on a school of fish. I have been gui...

April Has Been Pretty Good. With Some Nice Bass Being Caught! The weather is now on a warming trend and it has kicked the spawn into high gear its seemed like the bass have been wanting to move up but it seemed like the cold fronts just kept coming and some of the bass did […]

It is Almost Summer

Now it's getting fun out there. The fish are in all 3 phases and can be found in 18 inches out to 18 feet. You can catch them on any bait in your box as long as you find the right group of fish and present the bait to them at the correct time of day. Is it easy? No. However if you work at it and have a concise and dynamic plan this time of ye...

Blue Gill Bed Fishing is near

This week we have had varying weather and fishing conditions each day. The fish at guntersville are extremely sensitive to weather changes and fishing pressure. We were able to adapt to the conditions each day and were able to average around 20 fish a day. The biggest fish landed this week was 6.5 lbs but we had some opportunities at much bigger...

Bed Fishing

Guntersville Has Been Fishing Rather Good With The Amount Of Unstable Weather. Our Guides have kept up with the bass the past few weeks with long days that are paying off daily with some nice Lake Guntersville Bass. The Bass have started to spawn but there are still a lot that have just started to […]

We are finally seeing consistent warm temperatures and the fishing is getting better every day. I did 4 guide trips this week and we landed over 100 bass total. The biggest fish landed was 7lbs and we caught several 4 and 5lbers. The new moon phase has put a group of fish on bed and the full moon will prompt a huge group to spawn. On some days fa...

Bait Presentation

Get the Most from your Best Spots

This week was all about adjustments and fishing the conditions. Wind kept us off the main lake a couple of days which made it challenging but we were able to catch them every day. The fish are moving shallow and everyday a different bait or different pattern produces the best catches. We have landed 2 over 9lbs so far this year and tons of fish o...

Bladed Baits Anyone

Guntersville has a healthy population of big crappie and they are biting. Most of my clients are taking home 20-30 crappie per day. Bridges,brushpiles and bluffs are the deal right now. The fish are in 10-15 feet and feeding aggressively. We are tight lining Bobby garland type baits in monkey milk and blue ice colors on a 1/16th oz jighead with 4...
