Captain Scott Jernigan
A USCG-licensed captain with more than 16 years of experience on Lake Guntersville, Scott is known for his knowledge of grass-bed bass patterns, seasonal fish movement, electronics and some of the strongest crappie fishing on the lake.
Scott combines years of local experience with a straightforward, hardworking approach that keeps the focus on finding fish and making the most of the day.
Years on Guntersville teach you what the fish are telling you
Lake Guntersville is constantly changing. Grass moves, water levels change, fishing pressure shifts and productive patterns can change quickly. Scott has spent years learning how bass and crappie react to those changes.
He is serious about getting the job done, but the boat does not have to feel serious all day. Scott is known for working hard, keeping clients involved and making the trip enjoyable while staying focused on putting fish in front of the boat.
Understanding vegetation, edges, holes, transitions and how bass use Guntersville grass throughout the season.
Following seasonal crappie movement around brush, timber, channels and other productive structure.
Using modern sonar and mapping to locate fish and understand how they relate to structure and cover.
The trip is adjusted to the experience level, fishing style and goals of the anglers in the boat.

Scott is not just a bass guide
Crappie fishing is one of Scott’s strongest specialties. He follows fish through seasonal changes and uses electronics to stay with schools around brush, timber, channel edges and other productive structure.
These trips work especially well for families, anglers who enjoy light tackle and clients looking for a different way to experience Lake Guntersville.
The schools can move quickly. The key is staying with the fish, understanding how they are relating to cover and making adjustments before the bite gets away from you.
