It's 75 degrees and the water temperature is in the high 60s. The numbers of fish we are catching is unreal for November. This week I did 3 guide trips and we caught 24,38, and 41 bass. The size is good with fish averaging around 3 pounds. My primary pattern is shad imitating baits in the shallows and I move quickly until a school fires. With...

Today was a challenge but with the right adjustments we landed 38 nice bass at guntersville. We also saw 6 deer and 3 eagles which is exciting for my clients. We zeroed on my first two holes which have been my best places historically this time of year however I am very calculated and strategic so it didn't phase me at all. On my third stop a...

Cooler weather and shorter days equal big bass at guntersville. The deer hunters are in the woods and the baitfish are migrating into the creeks. Fall is my favorite time at guntersville. The fishing pressure is exponentially less than the spring and the fish are healthy and hungry. Yesterday my client landed 16 nice 3-5 pound largemouth and a gi...

Guntersville Has Shifted Some Timing Around. September was the best September I can remember we some really nice bass and plenty of bites. Now in October we are paying for that? Or did what we normally get in September is now here? Water Temps are now down in mid 60s and the water is clear […] The post Guntersville Fishing Report 10/23/23 first ap...

All signs are pointing to phenomenal fishing over the next several weeks. The water is still very warm close to 70 degrees but with the inevitable cooling that's coming fishing will be excellent. This fall has been really good in spite of warmer water than usual. My boat has averaged 40 fish landed per day in September and October. As the day...

Fall is here and it was 49 degrees last night in Guntersville. Now 1 dominant pattern has emerged. Shad,shad and more shad. Threadfin and gizzard shad are now the main forage and locating an area with a school of shad will also hold a school of bass. This is more complicated than it sounds as the baitfish migrate around the lake constantly and on...

Guntersville is really good at the moment and it is improving daily. It took almost 40 pounds to win the Bfl last weekend and there were several anglers with phenomenal weights for September. There are 3 completely different ways to catch them at the moment. Believe it or not the deep ledge bite is still pretty good. Tva is generating curren...

Down goes Kermit; If you like big line,big rods and a frog now is the time to come to guntersville. The Bfl super tournament is this weekend and unless somebody finds a magical school still out deep this event will definitely be won on a frog and a flipping stick. Most of my clients like to catch schooling fish this time of year but if you are wi...

It's fun out on the big pond right now. As this cooler weather approaches it's going to get even better. There are 3 ways to attack guntersville at the moment. For numbers of fish shad imitating baits in the shallow grass is the best deal. To catch big fish you can go and fish the summertime ledges or frog and flip. Yesterday we sampled a...

In September you have to be dynamic and versatile to catch them everyday. Last week we had some cooler cloudy weather and I was able to get on some shallow fish chasing bait. This week it got hot and bright and I had to move back out deep to get it going. I have fished competitively all my life and I have been very successful however in this day...

It's football season!!! Guntersville is full of fat healthy bass that look like footballs. The fall is when the fun starts. This time of year huge schools of big,hungry bass roam nomadically following baitfish. When you pull up on the right hole at the right time it can be incredible. Last week I saw schools feeding with 30-100 bass in them....

Wow!!! What a day and thankfully I had a great consistent client in the boat when it happened. Yesterday we started out at daylight like always. From daylight until 10am we landed 30 with 4 big fish which is pretty much par for the course. At 10am I idled over a big crankbait hole and there were so many bass on it they started blowing up in my bu...

This Week Has Been Great Fishing With The Big Bass Biting Very Well! The feeding windows are staying consistent and the baits have changed some but it’s been fun keeping up with them.. Had a 5th grader (Blake) out fish his dad this week he had 8 cast in a row where he caught […]

The next few months are going to be fun. There are 3 ways to approach guntersville at this time. Froggin/flippin,deep ledges and schooling fish. This last week I have caught some giants on Kermit but some days they just blow up and miss the frog while other days you can't take it away from them. The deep ledge bite will continue to be a facto...

It’s Been Hot Here On Guntersville The Heat Has Been Up There Too. We’ve Been Seeing Some Good Bass Here Lately. The feeding windows are still happening and the baits haven’t changed to much. The Crappie have been biting good as well and still a blast even in this heat. Water Temps 86 up to […]

School is in session!!! The days are getting shorter which triggers schooling action at guntersville. One day this week I saw a football field size school of bass on top feeding. As we move into August and September some days we will have the opportunity to catch 100 bass. If you like fast paced sometimes chaotic fishing this is your chance....

Summer Time Is Here On Lake Guntersville. The Bass Have Been Biting In Windows And The Crappie Are Biting Through Out The Day. Water Temps are Creeping Up to 87-90 On Hotter Days. Clarity Is Mixed Through Out It Just Depends Which Part Of The Lake You’re On. The bass are starting to get on […]

It's hot out and so is the fishing at guntersville. In late summer most lakes get tough but guntersville keeps producing. In the little afternoon wildcat tournaments it's taking a 5lb average to be competitive. The stocking program has improved the fishing and the grass is as healthy as I have ever seen it. The ledge bite is the most cons...

Ribbit,Ribbit!!! Ole Kermit is doing work on the big pond. This week a legitimate frog bite has emerged on the river bank and in the creeks above bb comer. The ledge bite is still very strong and is the dominant pattern. The best baits out deep are a hair jig and an 8xd crankbait. We have had several guide trips this week and the numbers are exce...

Neely Henry is on fire!!! I did 2 guide trips at Neely Henry this week and we landed about 35 a day with several big fish. There are 3 main patterns emerging relative to the fall bite. Cranking rock is a Neely staple and it's getting good. A swimjig in the water willow is a great way to put them in the boat. The most fun way to catch them is...
