One thing you learn when you’re on the water every day is the pure fact that the lake can change quickly for many reasons; just when you feel like you have a pattern solved from one day it does not always translate to the next. Early in the week I was on a pattern that rewarded ...

There has never been a doubt in my mind that if you want to catch big fish and your patience matches your desires you can eliminate lots of small bites by fishing with big baits; and as I have stated I have my favorites. The thing is there are more new big size baits being introduced ...

There is no doubt the best fishing is just around the corner there are great signs that it’s about to light up all over the lake. If you haven’t made your dates to fish you best jump on it now as it’s on!


Fishing this week is much improved some slow times ...

The older you get the more you realize that just having something to do that is fun and offers you an income can have great rewards. I certainly don’t have much in the way of money or income to keep paying my bills so keeping an income and enjoying what you do is a blessing; ...

If you’re not into crowds, bent pole visitors and mayhem at the ramps well you probable got pretty frustrated this past week on the water. There was one day that I had to walk nearly a ½ of a mile to get from my parked truck to the ramp to get in my boat! I wonder what ever ...

If you’re a weekend fisherman you can’t help but notice the endless number of boats and fisherman at the ramps and in the area. If you drive on Hwy 79 between Guntersville and Scottsboro the number of boat truck rigs being pulled up and down that highway are endless. All good, ...

Fishing on Guntersville is taking on a busy look, it’s covered up with tournaments and boat after boat on every bank, point, creek and more, and it makes a day on the water a real challenge. “God forbid,” you should catch a fish, or maybe worse you catch two in the same spot ...

I have seen many days on the water where the tough days of fishing bring out frustration for many anglers. You’re on the water for hours and getting a bite seems impossible or its more work than you anticipated; to me you just can’t let your competitive drive take the fun out ...

Fishing has come a long ways the water is warming the bass are searching for spawning grounds and at some point during the day the bite turns on. Is it what we all expect from Guntersville, “no” not at all but there is for sure a new level of a good day as a busy tournament ...

With the spawn approaching bass will start to migrate toward the spawning grounds; they will use any and every piece of cover on their way to the spawn to stop and look for food. Knowing this, allows me to look for cover that sits outside the flats or near the spawning grounds; ...

After several months of recovering from surgery I finally made a little dent in the return period as I spent some quality time fishing this past week. I am certainly not 100% ready to fish every day but getting closer and gaining more time on the water. I believe I am close ...
