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....

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...

This time of year can be really good but you have to adapt to daily changes. The first part of the week we caught about 18-19 fish a day with several nice fish mixed in. Yesterday I made a change at about 10 am and we caught big ones every cast. There are several things going on right now. The shad are starting to spawn on the mornings when we ha...

This was the week when the water temperatures reached 60 and the full moon is coming. I did 4 bass trips this week and we averaged 40 bass per day. I am catching them deep and shallow and in between. The best baits are traps, chatterbaits and we even caught some on a frog. I just spoke with my crappie guide and he had a 3 man limit of crappie 12...

This is the year we have been waiting on. Guntersville has been full of 3-5 pounders the last couple of years but early 2023 fish catches are suggesting we have an abnormally large group of fish over 5lbs this year. I did 3 guide trips last week and we averaged 25 fish per day as well as setting the bar for big fish this year at 11lbs. The bass a...

Nothing is more exciting than frog fishing at Guntersville. If you don't like watching a giant bass explode on a frog you need to play golf instead. 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...
