The shad spawn is in full effect with the warming temperatures and the full moon approaching. At daylight fast moving shad imitating baits can provide incredible fishing and if you have cloudy weather that action can last for hours. When the sun comes up the best pattern is flipping a jig or soft plastic bait around hard cover. Most of the fish a...

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...

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

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...

Guntersville Has Been Producing Some Nice Bass Even With Some Crazy Weather. Had a couple of tournaments last month one was the BFL and the other was Toyota Central. Took 2nd in the BFL with 25-02lbs with big bass of 7-08lbs and the Toyota on day one had 22-05lbs and day two 7-15lbs (3) fish […]

Advantage of Fluorocarbon Line

With the warming weather a large group of fish has moved shallow and the fishing is extremely good right now. The first day of the Toyota series event 72nd place was 15lbs. Those weights are very impressive and will only get better for the next several months as the weather stabilizes. My February trips we have caught 12-20 fish per day with the...

The Wind can be a problem

Rain and current mean phenomenal fishing at Guntersville. This past week my guide trips were highly successful. One client landed 5 fish over 4lbs by himself. The thesis was fishing current breaks and keep moving until you find an active school. A lot of anglers are struggling right now which I can't really understand but Guntersville is a hu...

Patterns for Early Spring

The lake is absolutely on fire right now. Warm weather and current have the big  fish feeding early and often. The Bill Lewis Ratltrap tournament results are incredible. 11 five fish limits over 20lbs and 74th place had 14lbs. I guided almost everyday this last week and we caught a lot of big fish on multiple techniques and varied depth...

New Boat Owners

December and January consistently yield some of the best fishing of the year. However you like to fish can be productive. There are obviously big groups of fish out on the creek ledges following bait but there is also a shallow bite. The tournament weights in the winter are ridiculous. Anything less than 30 pounds has no chance to win and 20 poun...
