However it's imperative to understand the details and nuances of frog fishing. Basically you have two scenarios: a thick mat of grass and scattered grass. In the thick mats you want to use a...

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...

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.

This week I did 4 guide trips and the fishing is unusually good for July. We averaged 30 bass landed per day with excellent size. What I noticed is when the sun comes up and the bass can get a good look at the shad they are starting to school. This is by far the most fun fishing of the year. When 100 bass come up near the boat feeding aggressivel...

I have experienced these cooler rainy summers a couple of times before and it makes for great fishing at Guntersville. The winning stringers are absolutely out deep on the river ledges. To attack them 3 baits will work; a big crankbait, a football jig and a big swimbait. However if you just want to have fun the grass is full of bait and bass. It&...

At daylight there is a strong shad spawn that we are using a spinnerbait to exploit. Bream beds are an excellent pattern after the shad spawn expires. A wacky rigged senko is the deal here. The deep bite is...
