Madness Of March Has Started

March 6, 2022 by Capt. Jim

Guntersville Has Been Producing Some Nice Bass Even With Some Crazy Weather. Had a couple of tournaments last month one was the BFL and the other was Toyota Central.

Took 2nd in the BFL with 25-02lbs with big bass of 7-08lbs and the Toyota on day one had 22-05lbs and day two 7-15lbs (3) fish could not keep them hooked on the second day. Ended up in 29th place missed the cut by 6 ounces.

Guide Trips are happening as I type this. Clients have been catching them pretty good with only the best to come as March is just now heating up.

Water Temp is hanging around 55-58 degrees and the water is clearing up by the day from all the rain we got during the Toyota Central Tournament we had 5 inches of rain the night of the 1st day of the tournament.

We can add Poland to our list of clients from other countries

Eric and I won the Sylvania Tournament with 22lbs with big bass of 6.15lbs

Heres some pics.

Guntersvilles Fall Swing

September 7, 2020 by Capt. Jim

The Fall Transition Started A Little Early This Year. We noticed the fish were vacating their summer spots and making the move to early fall spots. Still no schooling action which is sad but it will be here in no time. They have been feeding good most days with good numbers and size.

Fished the BFL Super Tournament and finished in 9th place was in 7th after day 1, couldn’t get a big bite on day two it was like a different lake. Then on Monday the day after with a trip we went through the areas where I had been fishing and smashed them on the same lures.. Just Crazy how things work out in the fishing world.

Well the frog fishing… it was getting good before the hurricanes landed and brought the wind and rain and jacked it up. The cold nights we are getting will help improve the froggin.

Its been a little bit since the last update.. Sorry about that been busy and we still are, we have select days open in September and in October we have opennings among the 3 of us.

Fishing In July On Guntersville Is Hot

July 26, 2020 by Capt. Jim

July Is Finishing Up Strong With Big Bass After A Awesome Start With Big Numbers. The Heat Has Not Been Playing Around.. its hot and difficult to be out on the lake most days, no wind plenty of gnats. The wind is your friend right now on Lake Guntersville and thats what keeps them gnats out of your face..

Bass are not everywhere (whats new) and when you find them its a good time. Most fish are coming from the 12-25 foot range with some a little deeper. We have been averaging 20 fish mornings but we have had a slow day mixed in but the size is better on those days, its been depending on if we can fish a area because of the floating grass.

Grass is looking good and the promise of a good froggin year could be possible. So if you love to frog fish this could be your year!

Water Temps: Seen as low as 83 high as 94 just depends on the time of day and part of the lake you are in. Water Clarity is 3-6 in most parts.

We have had some great top water days already with more to come. 4×4 Jigs and Ledge Hammer has been getting the job done most days for us with Netbait C-Mac & Paca Craws.

Heres Some Pics Enjoy.

On to August.

Lake Guntersville Has Been Fishing Pretty Darn Good For Being The Beginning Of July. Our clients have had some pretty memorable days on the water with us doubles and a triple or two. We’ve had a few days of 40+ bass with an average of 20. Seen some really nice ones mixed in with the rest.

The bass have been moving around again not really sure way but some mornings we can get them pretty shallow for a few hours then the other mornings we find them a little deeper.

Floating grass !!! Need I say anymore.. Man it seems like its just getting worse by the day and it seems to be everywhere you want to fish so you just have to move on till you find a clean area fish. It really is messing up our topwater areas.

Heat is on the way and it should give the fish a little bit of a break from the everyday pressure, I’ve never seen so many fishermen on the lake day in and day out. That might be why they are moving around so much 🤷🏻‍♂️.

So I have been using the new Lowrance Ghost Trolling Motor this year and been getting a lot of questions but the main one is do I like it…. And the best way I can answer that question is… I LOVE IT not only is it quite it is fast , strong, cuts through the grass , and holds us on the fish with wind & current or without either of them, quick buttons are amazing and makes guiding a little easier on the day to day basis. Check Out The Ghost Here

Water Temp has been 80-83 with 2-3 feet visibility

Guntersville June 14th 2020

June 14, 2020 by Capt. Jim

Fishing Lake Guntersville Has Had Its Ups & Downs But All N All We Have Been Doing Good. With majority of the fish making it to their offshore haunts timing has everything to do with a good day and a not so good day.

Water Temps have been steady for the most part high 70’s to mid 80’s the water has been clear except for after these windy days and then the lake is stained pretty good.

Our Clients have had some really good days catching these Guntersville Bass. With our morning bite being some of the best action with the shad spawn that is still happening ( some ) and the bream bed bite. Numbers and quality have been real good and with some stable weather I can only hope to see that improving. We have the 23rd,24th,& 25th open of June.

Its Ledge Time

May 18, 2020 by Capt. Jim

It Was A Fun Week On Guntersville, The Bites Improved Daily With The Warmer Weather Big Bites Was What Was Going Down. The Bass Have Been Feeding Up Hard Our Bites Have Been Vicious. What Can I Say We Had Fun.

Water temps have finally gotten to the mid 70’s and its May 18th and the clarity is prefect at least 2 feet and the floating grass is still a thing.. If Mother Nature would just let the wind blow from the same direction the grass wouldn’t be an issue.

Are They “OUT”? Yes and no a few are out on the ledges but it won’t be long till there will be an onslaught of them out. Should be a good time. We do need to keep the warm weather coming for this to happen. So the ledge fishing that we have done it has been with 4×4 Ledge Hammers and your favorite big worm. Below is a Screen Shot from Lowrance HDS LIVE With 3 in 1 Active Imaging Transducer.

So Saturday …. What happen … No clue other then the wind went from a 3 day south to a north east , the bite got tough can’t explain it wish I could but it went down hill, Sunday was a little better . And I want to share something with everyone.. If I didn’t witness this with my own eyes I don’t know how much I would of believed it. But here it goes… We started the morning and my client started catching them pretty steady with a big one and then this tournament took off and around 15 boats came by us and at that time we didn’t think too much about it … then it dawned on me we hadn’t had a bite since the boats went by… Let that sink in. Was it because he had caught all that was there? or did the bass just felt all the vibration from the boats and just shut down?

Still catching some pre-spawn bass.. feel like we will see them trickle in till mid June the spring has been long and cold with not many warm weeks that it takes to get the bass to spawn good.

Guntersville May 5th 2020

May 5, 2020 by Capt. Jim

Here We Are Beginning Of May And Mother Nature Just Will Not Get Her Act Together. A normal year we would be fishing off shore maybe not on the ledges but we would be away from the bank, but it seems the bites are still shallow and catching pre spawn, spawn, & post spawn bass.

Water Temps are mid 60s to low 70s just depends on what part of the lake your on, the water color is pretty and great visibility.

Its day to day on what they want to eat but they will eat when you show them what they are wanting. Sometimes they eat early and some its later in the morning, we have been covering water till we run in to them.

We have a few days open in the next couple weeks CLICK HERE to inquire on a guided trip. Or you can call 256-698-6593

Heres a few pics.

Its That Time

March 21, 2020 by Capt. Jim

What In The World Is Going On. Madness Of March Hasn’t Happen Yet… Even with a mild winter the bass seem to be behind, now we are catching a good many of bass but its not an all day thing you have to keep changing up to keep getting bites, and if you keep an open mind then you will catch fish all day it might not be on the same bait as the last one, I only see this going on for a little while longer then it’ll just turn on like a switch and bass thumb, bass palm will be happening.

So Lets Just Put This Out There! The country is freaking out. So be it. We are out on the lake what better place to be. I can not think of anything better to do. I feel that its going to far its hurting a lot of local small businesses not only in our two lake towns (Guntersville & Scottsboro) but across the country.

Water Temps are steady rising but they are not consistent all over the lake you can see 57 or you can see 65 but you can also find all the temps in between 57 and 65 .. clarity is getting right but the pollen is starting to show itself.

Not going to lie yes we have had quite a few trips cancel ( many are corp trips ) so we have dates open and with the fishing still in limbo for the big ones it only seems that its with in days of happening ( just because they have to make the push ) Mother Nature will make them. So why don’t we do a daylight to dark and bring food so you can eat and stay away from all the craziness.. it’ll be the price for a 8 hour trip and fish 12 hours or so. I know I don’t want to go till I have too and when the sun goes down then thats when I will be going. ( I’ll do this until all the stupidness stops..)

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)

Lake Guntersville Bass In All 3 Stages

April 28, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Lake Guntersville is giving up a-lot of bass to the tune of 30-50 a day.
The only draw back is for me is that they are in the 2-3 pound range, now we have seen a big one every now and then. The lake is fishing really good for numbers you can go shallow or deep but everything in between is like a ghost town.

So what does this mean? We feel that the bass are a little messed up from the flooding and constant fronts at least one every 5-7 days, some are spawning and some are post spawn and the crazy thing is all the pre spawn bass we are still catching. So YES they are in all 3 stages.

The big ones will show up and we will be on the water when they do.
But in the mean time we are going to catch every single bass that bites our lures.

Water Temp is hanging around 65-70 and is dingy in most areas from the wind.

We are really looking forward to doing some scanning with the new Lowrance HDS Live Unit paired with the new C-Map finding some overlooked places where the bass have been hiding the past few years is going to be a good time .

Keep us in mind if your wanting to fish Chickamauga, Pickwick, or Wilson Lake, we have guide at these lakes as well.

Heres to another great week on the water.
