Current and Bass Locations There is no doubt in my mind that bass has become a by-product of their surroundings and in the case of a river system like the Tennessee river that bass feed when TVA is pulling current! The key is where do they go when this happens and what generates their activity... Read more » The post Current and Bass Locations app...

Guntersville showed out again this week and it was all about doubles and triples. That kind of action in late July with 30+ fish per trip says two things: our guides are on top of their game and the lake is as healthy as it’s ever been. We had a light north breeze most days […] The post Lake Guntersville Fishing Report – Late July into August firs...

This is my favorite time of year to fish!!! When a school of 100 big bass come up feeding near the boat it's incredible. August marks the start of consistent schooling action that will last until the water gets in the low 50s which is around December. I have done many guide trips inwhich we landed over a hundred bass and all of them have been...

Crank Baits Deep summer fishing can be all about crank baits especially if you love to find deep schools of fish.  One of the problems we all encounter when we fish deep crank baits is the fact that you can easily loose a big fish trying to get it to the top.  I know it...

Guntersville delivered again this week. The heat was brutal but the bass didn’t seem to mind. We bounced between old favorites and fresh waypoints and the action was there—short intense bite windows that kept us moving like clockwork. Personal Best Moment One highlight of the week came from a young angler chasing his first big […] The post Lake Gu...

Guntersville is red hot and getting better. I only had 2 trips this week but the numbers and size were fantastic. We landed 40 bass per day and we had a best 5@19 lbs or better each day. The days are getting shorter which signals the shad to start migrating. They are on the river channel but they are starting their annual move to the very back of...

Crank Bait Coloring the Newest Fad Detail and custom coloring of crank baits has become the latest craze.

The water temp is 90 and the moon is waning. I have had a decent shallow bite all year but now the ledges have taken over. This week I did 3 trips and we averaged 30 bass per day landed with a best 5 over 20lbs each day. Our best baits are a big crankbait and a spoon out on the river ledges. The thermocline is about 14 feet in the mornings and th...

Bite Windows Monster Catches & CFO-Level Talent This week the bass gave us fits here and there — but when they decided to fire up it was game on. Early in the week we saw some short windows where they’d bite but if you landed on them and got the school going it turned into […] The post 🎣Lake Guntersville Fishing Report –July 13 2025 | They Hit Li...

Wow what a week at guntersville. I have done 5 guide trips this week and the conditions have set up perfect for us. The water level is high and the current is flowing. The water temp is 89 degrees but that full moon has a big population of fish up shallow. Yes, there are giant schools out deep uneffected by the moon but when there are fish in mul...

This week I did 4 guide trips and the fishing is unusually good for July. We averaged 30 bass landed per day with excellent size. What I noticed is when the sun comes up and the bass can get a good look at the shad they are starting to school. This is by far the most fun fishing of the year. When 100 bass come up near the boat feeding aggressivel...

Bottom Structure It’s no secret that if you fish enough different impoundments or river systems you will find all kinds of different bottom structure. I would venture to say that you could experience different bottom types on your own lake if you just move around enough to find it. On the Tennessee River the common...

The rain has finally let up around Lake Guntersville and the summer heat is kicking in. Earlier in the week things felt normal — we were catching 30 to 40 fish each morning. But when the sun came back and the humidity rose the bite started to shift. We had another mayfly hatch — and […] The post Lake Guntersville – June 22 Fishing Report: Still Pu...

The answer is Yes. A year ago tournaments at Guntersville were being dominated by Livescope this time of year. The conditions are perfect for Livescope but in the Toyota series the vast majority of fish being weighed in are caught power fishing. Bass are highly evolved creatures and their instincts prioritize preservation of self and preservation...
