Neely Henry is a historical fishery in Gadsden that is full of largemouth and spotted bass (Alabama bass). This week I guided down there several days and it's a lot of fun.

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.

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.

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...
