The first half of March at guntersville has been spectacular. As usual this time of year adjusting to the conditions is very important but with the right adjustments it can be outstanding fishing. This last week I had a client catch his personal best only a few ounces shy of 10 pounds. Yesterday we landed 31 and had a best 5 fish at 29lbs. W...

Cold Spells in the Winter

In Saturday's college event it took 29lbs 12oz to win and 23lbs 8oz to get a check. I have been seeing signs of this lake getting back to the glory days and now it's here. The lake is full of grass and the tigerbass stocking program is paying dividends. This last week the fish made a significant move but when we got in the right depth zon...

Big Fish Time of Year

Wow what a week. I guided everyday this last week and it is one of the best weeks I have ever had for catching fish over 4lbs. We landed around 40 fish over 4lbs in 7 days on lake Guntersville. Our primary pattern was targeting staging areas between the river channel and the spawning bays. It wasn't necccesarily easy but when you got in the r...

Cold Water and Jerk Baits

Bridges,Bridges,Bridges!!! This last week at guntersville tva has been generating about 80,000 cubic feet per second of current and the fish have positioned around the many famous bridges. The baitfish seek refuge from the current, use the shade as shelter and feed on the algae that grows on the pilings. The bass then follow them to the Bridges a...

Carolina Rig in the Winter

This week phenomenal fishing has continued at guntersville. The lake is full of grass and the tigerbass stocking program has yielded instant results. I believe we are on the front edge of some of the best bass fishing the United States has ever seen here in guntersville Alabama. This weeks guide trips we landed 15-20 fish per day and had several...

Winter Clear Water

What is an eddy? It is an area inwhich the natural flow of current is disrupted by an object creating a back flow or swirling of water. This effect creates an optimal feeding zone for all species of bass. At guntersville this effect occurs around bridges,islands,boathouses and other natural hard structure. By targeting these areas with the proper...

Winter Bottom Fishing

January is when the biggest fish start to position themselves strategically for the spawn. They will move into proximity of the spawning areas and begin to feed on shad,crawfish and bluegill. Usually these fish will be found in ditches and on points leading into bays and coves. The last few trips I have had excellent results fishing ditches and c...

Longer Days Ahead

We wrap up another successful year on Lake Guntersville. November brought back so many memories of several years ago when it was nothing to go out and have 20+ lbs in the 1st hour of the day and only to end the day pushing mid to high 30 lbs. With the Alabama Bass Trail 100 […]

Wow!!! This week was special for sure. It has been 65 degrees and cloudy all week which prompted a big group to move into feeding areas. I had 3 guide trips this week and we landed big ones after big ones. The average catch rate was 17 fish per day and the average size was 4lbs. We caught them deep on the creek ledges with a nicotine shad and we...
