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. We landed 20 fish per day with several nice largemouth and spots each day. The fish are still out on the river and the best structure is water willow and wood. Our best ba...

Lake Guntersville Fishing Report This week brought a mix of puzzle pieces and payoffs on Lake Guntersville. We welcomed an angler from Japan — our 12th visitor from there — and the bite behaved differently than in recent weeks. One day the fish were grouped up and chewing the next they scattered and changed size […] The post Lake Guntersville Fish...

Rattle Trap or Bust Grass can scare many away from fishing a trap on a lake like Guntersville in the fall of the year. It’s a bait that catches fish in the fall as well as it does in the spring. Guntersville being the grass lake as it forces many of us to stay away... Read more » The post Rattle Trap or Bust appeared first on Fish Lake Guntersvill...

This week we saw the water temps drop from 93 to 83 and a full moon was present. It set up the perfect storm for what was possibly the best fishing all year. I guided everyday and we caught 40 per day on average and each day my clients caught their personal best. The key was adjusting to the conditions and the behavior patterns of bass. We caught...

There are 3 patterns working: Deep ledges as usual,Schooling fish and a Punching bite. We have done 4 guide trips this week and our catch rate was 40 per day with several personal best bass coming in. The punching deal is a ton of f...

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...

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...

Decisions that you make will generally guide you through the day whether it will be good or not... Read more » The post Heat of the Summ...

We have some extreme weather on the way. This weather decreases fishing pressure greatly allowing the bass to feed up for the spawn and get healthy without being fished for. Nature protects itself in many ways and this is one of them. The bass can get into their prespawn areas and add weight so they can endure a stressful spawning phase. After th...
