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)

We’ve taken beginners to seasoned anglers, and trip after trip we have caught em.

We have several different patterns working and any given day what might of worked earlier in the week might not be working tomorrow. Whats been a staple is the 4×4 Bass Jigs Ledge Hammer paired with your favorite worm.

Guntersville Donkey Alert!

May 27, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Guntersville Is Hot. And So Is The Fishing.🎣 Its diffidently been a great week on the Big G. We’ve been able to catch them several ways and in several depths and was able to put our client on this Giant Bass .

We seen a lot of pressure this week and had to adapt by the hour, they just are really educated and after you catch a few they really got picky on what they pecked at. Then you can get on a little deal and catch them for 20 cast in a row before they act funny. But thats fishing and we do what the bass want us to do.

Water Temps 80-85 Degrees and Floating Grass Is As Bad As Ive Seen It .

Its Hot Out ( like skin melting off your bones ) so we are only offering 4 and 6 hour trips till the heat breaks a little if 8 hours is what your seeking we can put together a 4 hour morning and 4 hour afternoon to beat the heat. Remember we have ice and water on our boats to help keep everyone hydrated thats part of our service.

Heres some pics from our trips . Enjoy!

Jeff & Shane Have Been Putting Our Customers On Some Great Bass And Great Times. You can request to fish with either of them just depends on their schedule. Just Click HERE for booking info or Call 256-698-6593 also for Chickamauga Guide Trips Call Capt. Jim 256-698-6593

Plenty Of Big UNS

May 19, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Its been like a Saturday every day this week. Guntersville has been getting pounded, ramps are jammed packed and the bass have changed everyday and not for the better. Kinda reminds one of a Mike Tyson Boxing match. On the bright side we have been able to stay with the every changing bite,

Heat has been climbing daily with very little wind this week and the floating grass is getting in the way, 75 water temp and the lake is clearing up.

Current has been rolling from the recent rains and thats moved the offshore schools we have been fishing. And its helped the creek bite a lot!

Heres some pics. Enjoy

You might notice that a lot of pics came from one boat in one day.. Well thats Capt. Shane and he’s been hot so I had asked from some pics and he bombarded me with them ( think I’ll keep asking for them ) and you can ask to fish with him as well.

Guntersville Is bOOming

May 13, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Lake Guntersville is shaping up nicely in the last week. We have been busy with young anglers catching their personal best to a group from Finland fishing two days with us and dodge storms its been fun.

Water temps are holding in the mid 70s and most of the lake is clear but there is still plenty that has color to it. Oh and the floating grass is still a pain so what can ya do!

We are finding a great offshore bite on most days and the other days are just going fishing either way its been producing. The Big G is looking to have a bright future and great present with the fishing being as good as its been all year along with the bass recovering from the spawn like champs one can only think of the fun we will be having. Heads Up with the recent rains the TVA predicts the water flow to pick up and the lake level so theres a good chance for some floating debris .

Heres a few pics we got between rain drops

Looking forward to the next few months, they are going to be crazy good!

Are you getting everything out of your electronics? Stay tuned we will have something for you that will open your eyes and you’ll see things like never before.

Risbeck Catches Dodge Ram Bass

April 23, 2019 by Capt. Jim

Fish are biting but the big ones are not reliable, not sure if it’s the crazy weather or are they are just pressured.. One things for sure we have an abundance of 2 pound bass.

Water temps have been hanging around the mid 60s and the clarity is spotty due to the wind and rain.

Had to fish Neely for the ABA and it was typical Neely for me but on the bright side my co took 3rd place and one buddy Ethan got a check and my other Buddy Adam Caught His Personal Best Spotted Bass On the only day of practice. Congrats guys!

Did you hear our guide Jeff Caught the BassCashBash Truck Tagged Bass?!!

May is historically a fun month to fish on Guntersville and can’t wait to use the new Lowrance Live and the 3 n 1 transducer to find some Bass!

Leary Wilson Win Black Friday Tournament For 2nd Time

November 26, 2018 by Capt. Jim

Eric Wilson & Jim Leary Win With A Big Limit In 6th Annual Black Friday Tournament Out Of Waterfront Bay on Lake Guntersville.

We caught em all day, it was all in the retrieve of the rig. ( yup we threw it ) The big one did give us a slight panic attack when she ate at the boat with very little line out, after that it was chunk in winding, we did a lot of moving around hunting big fish and they wasn’t everywhere, and they changed a lot during the day.. With the new C-Map we was able to keep up with em, matched with my Lowrance Carbon we could call our shots….We had a blast..

Mike Harvey was in town to try to top his personal best that he caught in the spring CLICK HERE to check it out. We had one day that the fishing was just hard, then the other two days was jammed up. We checked the area where he caught that monster and with no luck at all they just wasn’t there, but in typical Mike fashion he catches the 1st bass each day and had several on me each day, now the last day we fished together I figured out a little something and we caught a lot of fish it was pretty dumb..

Glen had a pretty good day we had a short 4 hour trip and he learn that the rig bite is fun..

December is just about here and that means the SmallMouth Bite should be getting right on Wheeler if your wanting to give the smallies a go then CONTACT ME and we can set something up.

Wilson & Leary Win Back2Back Jakked Baits Tournaments

November 12, 2018 by Capt. Jim

Lake Guntersville November 12th 2018, Fall has arrived with some cold wind.. But the Bass Fishing has shown some great improvement in the last 5 days, with the numbers going down and the quality going up the fun has just begun.

Eric Wilson And I Won the Jakked Baits Tournament on Saturday with 18.36lbs with a 6.12lb Big Bass and the weather wasn’t the best, the 1st nasty cold front rolled in with high winds and a strong cold north wind that made the fish sluggish and when it should of made them strap the feed bags on and go to chewing.. It wasn’t easy to say the least, we had to fight floating grass and grass still growing and the wind, so when one of us would call for the net we kinda had to scream due to having a beanie and hoodie on over our heads we couldn’t hear much, the wind laid down around 1 o’clock and thats when we was able to make a couple of culls that helped in the win.. The New C-Map helped in finding another niched spot by being able to select the depth and the color to make the map pop and the spot scream right here right here then with Lowrance Structure Scan to confirm they was there and ready to eat was the deal..

BACK2BACK wins in this tournament and this was a special one for sure with the unique trophies this was a great one to win.. This tournament will grow more each year with all the work that Tom and his crew do it will be one of the more popular ones on the lake..

The water temp has gotten below 60 and we are catching some crappie while we are bass fishing and this can only lead to more and bigger bass showing up in the weeks to come.

Some of the water is clear and some water is dingy

With Winter around the corner and some of the best SmallMouth Fishing to come we are booking smallmouth trips.

Its Been A Fun Week! Come Fishing and have a chance at some big ones.

As for Guntersville Trips we will have select dates open through December and January email for openings

With Black Friday coming up we will once again offer Gift Certificates at a discounted price but on Cyber Monday On Friday the 23rd we will release what will be discounted, and if your part of our newsletter that goes out then you will receive more info on the discounted items. NEWSLETTER Click the link to signup.

We went Sunday for a few hours and caught all the ones that wanted to bite.. Good Time With A Good Buddy!

GUNTERSVILLE IS ABOUT RIGHT

November 3, 2018 by Capt. Jim

This pass week was probably one of the busiest weeks this lake has seen in awhile, Guntersville Bass had their helmets on ,

If your reading this and see the results from both tournaments and are thinking wow that place is sucking bad … well don’t let it keep you from coming here, the fishing is good but when you stack 500-600 boats on here the fish get split up and overly pressured. Yes the lake has fished better this year then the last two, but we are not fully recovered from the fish kill we had . Maybe the two towns could work together on scheduling these large tournaments and help the lake get back to what she use to be like. Now they might say they can’t control who has a tournament but they can control paying the tournaments to come at certain times. Well enough about things that will more then likely never happen ,

So the SPRO frog tournament wasn’t the best , Caulk it up to a bad year for the frog!

Well it’s shaping up to be a great time out here for us here at GBG. Our numbers are slowing from 50-70 fish to 20 but the SIZE is getting bigger.

November dates are available

Heres some pics.
