Lake Guntersville Has Been Fishing Extremely Well This Year (give or take a few bad days ) The Weather Has Been Mild So Far And Keeping The Water Temps Below 70 Degrees and that has effected the Shad spawn so far. Maybe that’ll happen still but I’m not counting on it. We had a […]

With the full moon approaching I expect another wave of fish to move up shallow. You can catch numbers of small fish shallow right now but all of our bigger fish have been deeper in the...

This March has been one for the ages. We have been guiding almost everyday and the fishing has been phenomenal. The weather however has been unpredictable at times. The biggest bass landed in my boat was an 8lb 14oz fish that was post spawn. Those really big fish ease up and spawn earlier than most think and then they escape the shallows before t...
