Guntersville In August

August 5, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Well Here We Are Its August Its Hot And Its Guntersville. If your not catching them then your in the wrong area or your technique may not be what they are wanting. The water temp has gotten back up in the high 80s and the bass well they know its the dog days and are wanting to get on their summer patterns but they just seem to be off. But I have faith that we are just in a transition period.

Water Clarity is clear like 4-6 feet deep in some areas

We did chase some schoolers around with some luck and had a slight hiccup.

Called Capt. Jeff he came over to help me out, he cut the split ring and we discussed if the line trick would work and we both decided it wouldnt work , it was deep and doc did agree. So Jeff took our clients out for the rest of the day while I recovered. Big Thank You To Capt. Jeff. and heres the rest of the pics:

We are still catching fish and its only going to get better from her on out.

Guntersville Fishing 7/23/19

July 23, 2019 by Capt. Jim

The Big Girls Are Still Chewing! Guntersville always seems to keep one on their toes and this last week was no exception.

Things are changing the bass are changing up their diet plan and are preferring something different then the last couple of months which is fine ( who likes eating the same stuff over and over?) on some days you just have to take what the lake is giving you for that certain time but when conditions get right you can really load the boat with some big ones doing a certain technique.

Fished the Goosepond Open on Sunday and the bass just had a bad attitude about life that day. They would hit the lure so hard and not have a hook in them then you’d catch one where you had to dig it out of the back of its mouth, it was a strange day and we caught fish doing everything just not a lot of them. it was a true junk fishing day.

Did have another personal best caught! Congrats Ted H.

Water Temps 79-85

Water Clarity some places its 3-4 feet and others not so good

Our fall calendar is filling up, if your looking for a fun time to fish this is a great time to come to the Big G! And for the guys that plan for the upcoming spring, our 2020 calendar is open and have been booking dates already! Send Us An Email

Guntersville 7.14.19

July 13, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Guntersville Handed Out A Personal Best This Week! The heat has been no joke this past week but the bite seemed to stay steady each day and catching quality bass. But its just hard to catch them the same way each day so that has been keeping it interesting.

Water Temps Shot Up Overnight had 89 degrees Thursday morning then Friday morning after some rain it was 79 degrees in the morning. Water is still very clear.

We’ve been able to catch fish doing a little bit of everything but the big ones are coming on a certain technique that isn’t the easiest to do but if you can learn it then you’ll have a chance at your Guntersville Donkey!

Happy Birthday America

Guntersville Has Produced Some Big Bass This Past Week! We started to see them getting grouped up , catching several off one area. But it is still a day to day deal it seems pretty much impossible to rely on one spot to produce day after day these fish are so beat up from all the fishing pressure they are moving after some have been caught or they just shut down and nip at lure when it gets close. So we just keep fishing new water as often that we can to keep putting our customers on great Guntersville Bass…

Water temp 83

Water clarity 4ft

Heres some pics: ( and you might think the guy in blue is a repeat picture but it isn’t not one fish is re pictured ) Josh Bertus and I Won a tournament with 15.66lbs (3 fish limit)

Fishing Is Fun!

June 15, 2019 by Capt. Jim

With the cooler temps the bass really seemed to really like it. Guntersville seems to be fishing really good, that is if your where they are. Seems to me timing is everything and I mean everything. From what I am seeing is the bass are getting very pressured to the point they are moving out of an area by the hour, and you can tell if you are fishing an area that just had the tar beat out of it, you’ll get some bumps and maybe a fish or two then its nothing. So what does this mean? Make sure you have plenty of gas in your skiff, at least till the fishing pressure drops and they stop getting their heads beat in. We seen some really nice bass this week some days we had several in one spot and other days it was one here one here and mix in the cookie cutters for fun. Had some 50 fish days this past week and some lighter days but the size was nice. The Deep Bite still seems to be the most consistent with better quality. The water temps have come down to 76 and clarity well that depends where the wind is blowing.

The Mayflies are hatching so if you like to catch some Bream nows a good time to do it and get some young anglers catching.

Well Bassmaster will be on the lake this week and I’m sure they’ll have a great tournament and we will see more boats following these guys around ( then us LOL ) all week so be careful out there and look out for other boats.

Hats off to our guide Jeff he had one of those days this week where our clients just smashed them.

Heres Some Pics… Enjoy

Its been a great June still a few days left open to get out on the lake with us.

Things Are Heating Up Here At Lake Guntersville

April 7, 2019 by Capt. Jim

And Just Like That… The Bass Are Everywhere. A little bit of a steady warming trend and the bass are kinda predictable. But getting the big bites… well that still takes some luck and some skill.. and knowing where they are helps. We had a brutal cold front on Monday and it was pretty bad but the Australians took it with stride Alex And Amy came to America for their honeymoon and fished with us, just wished MotherNature would’ve been a little nicer to them. For the next 3 days we fished with Yi He from Japan and they got to see how this place changes daily and how you have to keep changing to keep catching.

We caught a Bass Cash Bash tagged bass it was on a day where the bass just bite all day long for us, was able to just spot hop and catch them it was just one of those days.

Water temps have been climbing daily Mid 60s seem to be found across the lake and the clarity is a good 2-4 feet in most areas and pollen everywhere

Looks like things will continue to improve and be a great time to be on Lake Guntersville.

Madness Of March 2019 chapter 3 busting wide open

March 24, 2019 by Capt. Jim

We are seeing some big fish show up on the end of our lines. Lake Guntersville Bass are wanting to be wide open but there is just something missing… We’ve had a full moon the water is steadily warming ( 54 in the mornings 60 late day ) catching quality with a big un or two mixed in… Wheres the wad’s of bass grouped up? I can only think that they are coming, each day this week staging spots have had a good un on it , getting them in the boat has been a struggle this week but we did get some in.. one morning you catch em fast in like 20 mins then its one here one there most of the day or its one here one there pretty much all day. We did find a grass line that was loaded up with 3-4 pounders that bit for a good hour, checked it a couple of days later it was like a ghost town not one peck.. They are moving by the hour, where too? The backs of pockets and the back of creeks. Catching some with the red eyes and thats just something my buddy Bertus and I have noticed when they are about to go on bed and while they are on bed so yes I believe we are within days of the seams busting and they will be everywhere it’ll almost seem like it happen overnight. Like last week I felt that it could be the week … well the cold nights and brutal north wind really held them off.. Maybe it’ll be this week but one things for sure April has always been a month you can mark your calendar that the bass on Guntersville will be spawning..

We had one absolute giant caught this week Dave Castro landed it while fishing with Capt. Cameron,

Todd Holstien had two days on Gville with one being awesome and the other was cold windy and had to work hard for the bites

John and Paula spent two days as well on Gville with their 1st day getting cut short due to a and eye getting scratched by a contact ( and John did lose a Big Ole Bass ) and the 2nd days was full of catching and Paula didn’t want John to feel bad by himself .. yep she lost her a Big Ole Bass as well… Oh and John is a heck of a chef, I got some of the smoked tenderloin and burger and it was freaking awesome…

Anthony fished with Capt. Jeff and broke his Personal Best and caught a few other fish on a tough Saturday trip.. Congrats Anthony

Then Ol Bertus Fished a couple of hours after my trip

Lets see what this week brings

Madness Of March 2019 chapter 2 the bass are hungry

March 17, 2019 by Capt. Jim

The Ups and Downs of the Pre SPAWN. Its been a great week for us, we have had to change how we caught em each day.. what we mean is that one day they was buried up in the grass then the next we had to catch them suspended out off the grass lines or dragging the bottom with a variety of lures. We been bundled up and we’ve been in just long sleeved shirts its been a roller coster of weather and this week coming up looks to be 1st stable week we will get to see and a full moon. Things could get interesting.

Pretty Days aren’t always the best days!

So the crappie was 17 1/4 inches long weighed 3 pounds 12 ounces that is the largest crappie I’ve ever caught it was a beast .

The fish don’t seem to be everywhere ( just yet ) but when you stumble on to some they seem to be hungry to where you have to get the bait out of the back of their mouth.

Come fishing with Guntersville Bass Guides and take your best chance at a Guntersville Giant Bass.

Madness Of March 2019 chapter 1 Lovegrove Lands Lunker

March 5, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Lake Guntersville has been seeing some crazy weather since the 1st of the year, and Monday March 4th 2019 wasn’t any different. It was cold, snowing, and the wind was blowing 20 mph ideal fishing day … right?? YEP. Especially if happened to be David Lovegrove, He caught his personal best in these conditions a 10lb 12oz Lake Guntersville Largemouth Bass and thats how you kick off the Madness Of March 2019 .

It went down like this: we had just fished a stretch of grass that has had a good amount of bass in it , when we was getting within the last 20 yards of it I had made the comment ” I can not believe we didn’t get a bite in this stretch” it wasn’t even 2 seconds after that came out of my mouth Davids rod doubled over and the fight was on. The bass tried to jump but just couldn’t get out of the water she just wallered and when she was doing that I could see she just had one hook in her, she came up a 2nd time and I watched the crank bait get its front hooks into her bottom lip right before she went back down, so the 3rd time she surfaced she was within arms reached and with her mouth being wide open I stuck my hand in her mouth and got a good grip and pulled her in the boat.. Talk about a rush.

Fishing has been up and down just like the weather, when we get the 2-3 days of warming the bass start to feed up just a little better then they was when it was cold and cloudy, we start to get a pattern on them then it just falls apart with the next cold front… I do feel that once we get the water mid 50’s and higher the bass will start to flood into spawning areas and begin making beds..

I want to congratulate Jake and Fisher on their 2nd place finish in the FLW High School Tournament this past weekend here on Guntersville they had 21-14lbs and they qualify for the championship ..
