We just got back from our Lake Guntersville trip and I have to say was one of the premier places to bass fish in the country. It is considered the best largemouth bass lake in the south. We rolled into town early Friday morning and unloaded the boat and set out to catch some of these monster bass that everyone keeps talking about. We were set to meet my good friend and editor of Buckmasters Online, Daniel Dye, at around noon, which left about 5 hours of good fishing for my brother and I to get into before we had to meet Daniel at the dock to pick him up.



We had another problem with the motor on the boat from the previous accident at Carter's Lake in Georgia. We pulled the boat out of the water at around 11:00 AM and hauled it to Lake Guntersville Marina which is just beside Spring Creek Marina & Rental where we were staying. The marina mechanic, Bill, evaluated the motor situation and decided that the motor had to be lowered due to the log incident earlier. He let us use one of his wrenches to adjust the motor at his shop. We tried to give him some money for it, but he refused and just told us to "have a good time and enjoy your first trip to Guntersville". Bill, if you was to stumble across my blog, I can't thank you enough for your help.

We launched the boat again and met up with Daniel and set out for some afternoon bass fishing. We caught our share that afternoon and fished the famous grass beds of Lake Guntersville in the process. The following morning we went back into the area we fished the previous afternoon. We all caught our share and really had a great time in the process. Some caught more than others! It was a great lake to fish and a good weekend to do it. I really enjoyed catching.....WE really enjoyed catching all those nice 2 pound bass. We didn't boat a big fish, but Zack did have one tied on that got away.

To go to a lake blind and catch a boat load of bass is nearly impossible and would have been impossible had it not been for Tim Chandler. Tim is a guide on the lake and I called him on Thursday and he gave us some valuble tips on how to catch these fish and also even told us where to go. I'll just keep that a secret for our next trip. Tim, we wouldn't have had the success we did had it not been for you, friend. We really appreciate it. If you ever decide to fish Guntersville, give Tim a call or look up his guide service on the internet. He is well worth the money and will put you on the fish. You can find Tim at http://www.mildrillafishing.com/.
