Fished 2 days with Captain Jim and his his awesome assistant Lily. I had a great time!!! He is an enjoyable dude to be around and just have a conversation let alone he knows how to get you on fish! By far my best day ever on Guntersville. We boated well over 20 in an hour or so at one point. I was fortunate enough to get one over 6 and got to check a couple things off my bucket list. I would recommend Jim whenever you have a chance to go. I know I will be back, hopefully sooner than later.

I had a great morning on the water with Capt. Jim! He was professional, courteous, and worked hard to find us fish. I plan to use Guntersville Bass Guides again and would recommend them to anyone looking to do some fishing on Lake Guntersville!

Captain Jim put us on the bass within a half hour of getting out on the lake. The bass stopped biting early on that hot June day, but not before I caught the biggest largemouth I have caught!
I definitely recommend their service!

Had a half day trip with Captain Phillip. On a tough day with cold and windy conditions our boat was able to bring 5 to lip, however many more opportunities were had. A 6 pounder to the boat sealed the deal for my guntersville experience.
Being a fly fishing guide from CO I could see that Capt Phillip was professional, on time, and has a beautiful ranger boat and lowrance electronic setup. This stood out to me, and was a great experience.

Captain Mike knows his stuff. He can put you on big fish, and was very accommodating to us. If you want a good trip, ask for Mike.

My son and I booked captain Mike on a last minute request when our other guide cancelled our trip(on another lake). Mike was communicative, prompt and friendly. We had a great time on the water and he put us on fish right away. It was a tough day for fishing and we were able to put ‘em in the boat for a most of the of the day. We had more than 20 on the boat before noon. We would recommend captain Mike we had a blast.
We also loved that Mike fished with us. Not all guides do that. It was great to reference what he was doing while we were fishing along side of him! Go with Mike you won’t regret it.

I booked a trip for a "Mother's day" gift to myself and went out with Captain Mike for a 4 hr trip. I hooked the 1st bass of the day which was a great feeling but ended with my first 8 lb bass! Personal best so far! Captain Mike is the greatest and such a pleasure to fish with. He knew exactly where the big fish were, prompt in communication and meet up arrangements. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations.....planning a return trip with Captain Mike again next year and hoping for an even larger bass!

Long overdue review but we SMOKED em out on the lake with Captain Mike. 23 in the boat before 11:30 is a freaking WIN! Mike is knowledgeable and friendly as heck.. he’ll greet you with a “Welcome to Alabama” handshake. Jam up guy and jam up fisherman for sure! Ask him to teach you to use the bait caster in under 10 minutes and beat my time of under 5! 😂 Such a fun trip and already scheduled our next outing with him before we left the boat!
Now save some time booking with the questions I already asked -
*Deposit is taken upfront - $100(for now - subject to change of course ) the rest is due at the time of your trip. Cash is always great , there is a small surcharge to use a cc. Don’t forget to tip these guys ! They deserve it ☺️
*Boats- the guides all have Ranger, Phoenix , etc. No jiloppy boats / I mean being from out of town you gotta ask right 😂
*Lodging- there’s sooo many places around and the info is in the confirmation email they send you . Definitely Skip the Wyndham!!!! Stay at the Anglers Retreat cabins ! They’re awesome!
*Alabama Fishing License - that link is also in the email.
*Fishing Poles- these guys have a ton but feel free to bring your own :) You want to be comfy and knock it out of the park!

We had a great experience with Myles. Fishing was rough just not a good day but he gave it all he had to get us on all the fish he possibly could. Great guide and great day hope to be back again sooner rather than later to give it another go.

Guntersville is a great lake! And Capt Mike Thompson is the best! He put us on the fish first thing. We fished the milfoil on the banks of the underwater river channel with fish jumping all around us and we caught a TON good sized largemouth bass. And, Capt Mike is a great host and conversationalist. He was very knowledgeable and informative, and we learned a lot from him. We had a blast!

Captain Mike was fantastic. He was there with the boat ready at 5am. We got right to catching fish. 4 hours went by real quick with non stop action. Whenever I fish Guntersville I’m contacting Mike from now on.

Had a ton of fun on the ride! When no more fish were biting he’d redirect us to a place full. Belle was super sweet and really helped me with my fear of the water. 10/10 would recommend.

Amazing 3 day trip with the father and brother in-law.
Captain Mike T. took care of us for an experience that will make lifetime memories. He went above and beyond for two reasons i'm convinced; he loves to fish, and he loves to spend time and help people have great experiences. I can't imagine a better guide—thank you.

Capt. Mike Thompson is at the top of his game. A true master class bass
fisherman and guide. I brought my boys down from PA to experience Lake Guntersville bass fishing and what a time we had with Mike. We got 19 bass with several 4-5 pounders and a 6 pounder for me! it was truly an unforgettable experience and when we return next year we are going out with Mike again!

Spring break and we booked a 6 hour trip with captain Jim. It was a once in a lifetime day. My 16 and 12 year old sons put together a 30 lb bag. With a 9, 8, 5, 4 & 4 lb fish. At least 15 fish caught in 6 hours. Professional and knowledgeable.

Captain Jim is an awesome guide! He knows the lake very well, and was also extremely organized and prepared for our trip! He was very personable and patient and provided great service. Best of all, on a little bit of a tougher day he put me on some fish. When we got back to the boat launch all the other anglers struggled and were shocked when I told them how many fish we caught! Great trip and can't reccomend Jim and his guide service enough! If you're headed to Lake Guntersville, give yourself an unfair advantage and call Guntersville Bass Guides!

My brother and I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Capt. Jeff recently and had a wonderful trip! Despite torrential rain and high winds, we were on fish all morning! From the moment we stepped on his boat it felt like we were getting together again with an old friend. Capt. Jeff was so friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a guide on Lake Guntersville, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Guntersville Bass Guides. These guys are the real deal! You will NOT be sorry booking with them. Already looking forward to the next trip!

My 7 year old son and I had an excellent fishing trip with Captain Jim. He was determined to find the bass and help my son land “the big one”. We can’t wait to do it again!
Round 2 - Our first trip with Captain Jim was supposed to be 3 generations (my father, myself and my son) on the water catching fish. Unfortunately, as we were getting ready to launch we got a call that my Grandmother had passed so my father had to forego the trip to attend to the details. My son Jacob and I decided to carry on with the understanding we would make the trip again with all three generations. We had a blast and Captain Jim made a new friend in Jacob (my 7yr old). Fast forward 6 weeks and we had the chance to give it another go. Once again, we had a blast. We caught fish, made memories and Captain Jim taught my son multiplications!
Jim- Thank you. We are looking forward to taking The Deuce next April.
