We had an outstanding time with Capt. Jim!! We will definitely book another trip the next time we are in the area! Thanks again Capt. Jim!

Don't hesitate to book with him Horrible conditions but still had fun. Jim knows the lake, what baits to throw, and keeps you on the fish. Don't hesitate to book with him. I will definitely be coming back.

Captain Jim in my opinion is a first class guide. He will try his best to put you on a fishing trip of a life time. He supplies you with everything you need to fish with. His co-partner Belle is a very loving dog. After a day on the water with the two of them you will have made a new friend. He is very knowledgeable of the lake and how to locate fish. If anyone has not used Captain Jim, please give him a call and book a memory to keep for ever.

****Update**** February 16th of 2018 my fishing partner Johnny and I booked another appointment with Caption Jim. All I can say is a picture is worth a thousand words. Best trip anyone can ever have, again many great memories made. He always is very helpful on all your fishing needs. His first mate Belle is the best dog ever, she to likes to give all the fish a kiss. If anyone has any questions about Guntersville Bass Guides you can message me.
We caught or 70 bass, 2 were 7 pounders, several 4 and 5 pounders. We were fishing lipless crank baits and man were they crushing them. He will supply you with everything you need to catch'm, all you need is time to enjoy, relax, and make great memories.
The weather was crazy that day, 65 degrees that morning with lite rain and 45 degrees after lunch. You can tell by looking how we were dressed. But the fishing was HOT🎣🎣.

Had a great day with Belle and Captain Jim caught a ton of bass. He really took care of my father which is what I was hoping for and made the trip a lot more fun by cutting up with us. I will be booking with these guys again I look forward to fishing with Belle in the fall( Captain Jim too I guess) Don't wait book a trip with these guys they are the real deal!!!

Went out yesterday with Cap. Jim. Very impressed. I was hesitant to pay for any guide thinking there would be alot of small fish. I was wrong. Great balance of numbers, quality, and different ways to catch them. Our best 5 was rocking 24-25 pounds. Very respectable this time of year. Will definitely book again!

Captain Mike knows his stuff. He can put you on big fish, and was very accommodating to us. If you want a good trip, ask for Mike.

Had a great day on the big G with Capt. Jim and Belle. With high water and a cold front we still caught over 40 fish. Just an awesome day to be on the water! I would recommend Capt. Jim to anyone that wanted a great experience on this great lake!

Jim really knows his stuff Jim really knows his stuff and can put you on the big ones! He can turn a tough day on the water into a life time experience! Highly recommend and if I ever make back down to Guntersville lake I will be calling Jim without hesitation!

Writing this review right after getting home from the guided trip. Tough bite is the two words that describe the first few hours of the trip. 4lber first cast, a few more over the next 40 ish minutes, then the bite went away. Capt. Jim did everything he could to make sure we were back on the fish, and it worked. Caught a total of about 23 fish with a 5 fish bag of 22 lbs and some change. Kicker fish was 6.6. Jim is very knowledgeable and willing to help you whenever. He knows his stuff and is willing to share everything you need to know (unless you just browse his page looking for spots). If I had to come up with something negative it would’ve been out of his control any way and that would have been the wind. I say that, but even with the wind the fish were biting. Jim has a great attitude, good advice, good spots, good rods reels etc., good boat, and a good dog. Belle (the dog) did make a stage dive towards the end but it all turned out well. I had a fantastic time and will do my best to make it back with Jim someday hopefully soon!

UPDATE: 6/4/2018
Well, had another amazing trip out in the water with Jim and Belle. The bite started out good all you had to do was [CENSORED] the [CENSORED] and man the fish would slam it! That first bit we caught a 6.02 and a 4.somethin. Our bag went for probably 18.5 (correct me if I’m wrong). The bite did slow down after a while and we began having to throw [CENSORED] to get the fish to bite. Even when we went for a good while without fish Capt. Jim held stead fast and always did his best to put them in the boat. This having been my second trip out with him I feel I have gotten to know him rather well both as a guide and as a person. If you are on the fence, just jump right into it. He is always willing to take a call (Mr. Popular) and help you out. Great Duckett rods and reels and all other tackle to boot. This is one for the memory book as I had my grandmother along with me. She was (and bless her heart still is) clueless about fishing, but Capt. Jim he did everything he could to help her out and for that, we are both truly thankful. Thank you Capt. Jim and 1st mate Belle for making this trip another great one. I hope to be joining you again soon. God bless. PS, got another one on the first cast 🤷🏻‍♂️. Another 4.

Updated 03/2018 Jim really knows how to take care of his client's!! I was on fish right away both days! I will be back soon!! This group of guys really know their stuff when it comes to putting you on fish, and quickly too!! Thank you Jim and Mike for 2 great day's of fishing!! I would recommend these guys to anyone from beginner to expert!! Trip #2 in November 2016 was a huge success, and a lot of fun!! Once more Jim did the job!! He is a top notch guide, but this trip was much more, it felt like two good friends fishing together!! Fishing with Jim and Guntersville Bass Guides is a contagious thing, I'll be back to do it again, and again!! If you want a trip of a lifetime, I suggest you book one with these guys, it's an experience you'll never forget!! It's making memories!! I'll be back!! Thank you again buddy!!

03/2018. Updated. Third year coming back twice per year. Jim is one of the hardest working guides I know. He knows when I come to the BIG G, I'm looking for quality, not quantity!! He finds big fish, and he finds them quickly!!
I've told Jim on a number of occasions that if he needs a reference, have anyone contact me. I'm telling everyone, you won't be disappointed, from 1st time anglers, to fast action fishing, to hunt for big bass, Jim's got it all!!! Thank you Jim!! We will do it again tomorrow!!

03/2018 part 2 Updated
To all reading this!! All I can say is after today I have a new personal best!! Jim battled the wind, the rain, and even a tornado two nights ago, and today almost 30 lbs. in five fish anchored by an 11 lb. big old bass!! Guntersville Bass Guides, you rock!! Captain Jim is top notch, if you book with him, just listen to him and fish!! Jim will give you the trip of a lifetime, just listen to him. He is an amazing guide, and a great person!! Thank you Jim Leary.

We had a fantastic time on the water with Jim! We learned a lot, caught some really nice bass, and really enjoyed Jim's company. He's a top-notch guide, an expert on the lake and the bass, comes super well equipped, and exceeded our expectations in every way. I'd recommend Guntersville Bass Guides highly to anyone.

****Updated****
I have fished with Jim for several years now and have been absolutely blown away each time. I have always caught fish, even in the worst conditions, and have never felt let down at all. Even when the wind chill is single digits and waves are white capping he provides the best service possible and yes I have fished with him multiple times like this. (It is actually pleasant as there will only be one or two other boats on the lake)I most recently went fishing late February 2018 due to a cancelation he had (last minute). Boy did I pick a good time. I scheduled 2 consecutive days and the fishing was so great we spent 23 hours on the water in these two days. My family sent messages thinking I was injured or lost we were gone so much. 50+ keepers, several large bass over 5 pounds, many 4 pounders, and got to the point that I was calling 3 pounders babies! Once again, and for several years now, I left a deposit for my next trip that isn't even planned yet. I know when I get ready it will be worth it! I can't schedule dates far out so I leave a deposit on hand for when he has a cancellation that fits my time frame.

Give him a shot and you will see for yourself!

*Original review*

I fished with Jim on 7/25. We quickly went over the gear and launched the boat at daylight. We made a fast trip across the lake and started fishing deep grass. Within 10 minutes I had caught a 5lb7oz bass and we continued throughout the morning (4 hour trip) to catch 15 total with top five being 22lb5oz. These were by far the largest bass I had ever caught, using reels that were foreign to me, and in the heat of the summer! What more could I have asked for! I can't wait to schedule another trip in March when he said the fish would actually be biting!

We went out with Captain Scott had a wonderful day
We’re limited out on fish and memories
We see a return trip in our future

Wow.....!

We wanted something to do as a team and this was the chosen activity although, I had never fished before.

I was enthusiastic but, to be honest did not know what to expect and wasn't really expecting any success or if I am really being honest, to enjoy it all that much (fishing had never really appealed to me).

How wrong I was! We arrived on Monday night at the cabin that had been organized by Jim and it was great. Clean, comfortable and with everything you would possibly need. It was also across the road from the boat jetty where we would be collected the following morning, this really made a difference when we were hitting the water at 05:30.

There were 5 of us which, meant we had three boats and our particular captain was Jeff.

We quickly hit the water and found our first fishing spot (we had many throughout the day) where Jeff, was a great instructor and very patient with a complete newbie and really took time to teach me everything from casting, to the technique's for attracting and catching fish to finally reeling them in.

As I said I, was pessimistic about my potential success and with my initial lack of casting abilities, we were all amazed (especially me) that I didn't hook someone and that at least one of us, didn't get a new piercing to go home with. Mix this, with my uncanny ability to knot the line or, cast in the wrong direction and less that a few meters from the boat, it looked like it was going to be a long day.

Jeff however did not give up on me and was supportive and encouraging throughout, always having a rod available ready to go with bait irrespective ofd how many times I fouled the line.

So lets move on a few hours and I am casting (fairly competently and still injury free for all) and catching fish that I would never believe and in fact, not only did I get the biggest fish of the day (although my colleagues may argue) I also believe I caught the most fish....

The whole experience was incredibly well organized and I cannot fault anything or recommend highly enough.

Jim and his team are incredibly well organized, knowledgeable and most importantly great fun and focus on making the day a great fishing experience. If I get the opportunity I will definitely be back.

So whether you are an experienced fisherman like most of my colleagues or, a complete novice like myself I could not recommend Guntersville Bass Guides highly enough.

Jim thanks to you and your team for an unforgettable day and hope to see you again.

Me and my son had a great day with captain Jim today. Caught more fish today than I ever have on guntersville and good fish too. It was a great morning and would definitely do it again. I learned a ton about guntersville.

We had s great day on Guntersville lake with Jim Leary. A great guide and good friend. Hope to do it again! Lots of fish!!!

Fun day of fishing

Jim and Guntersville Bass Guides are the best!. My son and I went out and had a blast. My son Carter, 16, has much more experience and was on the fish right away. Capt Jim took some time with me and was very patient but also very intent on making sure I was on.

Once I got the hang of it I caught a good amount and really nice sized Large Mouth Bass.

Son's already talking about a return trip soon! What a day.

Caught tons of fish and learned so much about the lake Had the fishing trip I'll never forget. Caught tons of fish and learned so much about the lake. Jim is a class act and would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great trip! Looking forward to next year. Thanks for everything Jim!!!,😆

Best 5 with over 30 pounds. I have been with Jim 3 times. The best fishing day i have ever had was with captain jim. Best 5 with over 30 pounds. With the big fish being 9.5. He really knows his stuff. When you get in his boat you go to where the fish are their is no looking for them. He is a blast to fish with. I suggest anyone to fish with him. A very entertaining and educationional guide.

We had a great time with Capt. Jim and MS. Bell. This was my first ever guide trip, and the experience was excellent. Capt. Jim is a class act and worked hard for us to catch fish, and we caught em up!. We will book again real soon!

Highly recommend Captain Jim at Guntersville Bass Guides!! Our Guide Myles was a true Bass Pro!! Really enjoyed it and will be back multiple times!

Was great trip! Loaded the boat with 4 to 6 pounders.

My 7 year old son and I had an excellent fishing trip with Captain Jim. He was determined to find the bass and help my son land “the big one”. We can’t wait to do it again!

Round 2 - Our first trip with Captain Jim was supposed to be 3 generations (my father, myself and my son) on the water catching fish. Unfortunately, as we were getting ready to launch we got a call that my Grandmother had passed so my father had to forego the trip to attend to the details. My son Jacob and I decided to carry on with the understanding we would make the trip again with all three generations. We had a blast and Captain Jim made a new friend in Jacob (my 7yr old). Fast forward 6 weeks and we had the chance to give it another go. Once again, we had a blast. We caught fish, made memories and Captain Jim taught my son multiplications!

Jim- Thank you. We are looking forward to taking The Deuce next April.

Mike Thompson was great, him and I hit it off immediately, what a guy, I made a friend for life, and he definitely improved my style of fishing, I’m catching better quality fish thanks to him…. Thanks again Mike

Jim was Awesome! Jim was Awesome! Took booking at last minute. Fished through the rain and cold front. Jim would not stop until he put us on some very nice Fish! Cannot wait to fish with him again this spring. Thanks for everything Jim!

Spring break and we booked a 6 hour trip with captain Jim. It was a once in a lifetime day. My 16 and 12 year old sons put together a 30 lb bag. With a 9, 8, 5, 4 & 4 lb fish. At least 15 fish caught in 6 hours. Professional and knowledgeable.

Had the best day I've ever had on Guntersville. Fished that lake many times before , but Jim showed me what I had been missing

Captain Mike was fantastic. He was there with the boat ready at 5am. We got right to catching fish. 4 hours went by real quick with non stop action. Whenever I fish Guntersville I’m contacting Mike from now on.

I"m going to start out by thanking my girlfriend (Angela) for booking this trip for me. Captain Jim was very accommodating with her and took his time to explain the different packages he has to offer. She had no clue as to what to choose for me, but Captain Jim took his time with her and came up with a great option. I had originally planned to bring my son with me, but at the last minutes he could not go, so my brother was the lucky go to person. Captain Jim took care of making the hotel reservation and also provided us with a great BBQ lunch.
Our day of fishing started bright and early 6:15 am. Jim was already waiting for us with the boat already in the water. We launched off and went to the first spot. We were provided with all the equipment needed to go fishing (rods, reels) on a new Triton boat. Everything was top notch! First spot landed a 7 pound fish... WOW! I don't see those in the lake I fish. We quickly moved on fishing several different spots throughout the day. Fishing was a challenge that day due to the high winds, But that didn't phase Captain Jim. He is a true professional. He just pushed on locating the fish.
I highly recommend booking a fishing trip of a lifetime with Captain Jim and Guntersville Bass Guides. I promise that you will not be disappointed. This was a trip I will never forget and I hope that we will be able to go back this October or November and do some frog fishing with him.
Thanks again Captain Jim.

Capt. Mike is the man! Always puts us on em.

If your looking for bass fishing guide...look no further! I was amazed how Capt.Jim made our trip a success in not so good conditions. He used his knowledge of the lake and experience to put us on fish. He brings a positive attitude, friendly personality, and a tenacious drive to make sure you are satisfied. “Goes above and beyond “. There is no doubt, when we go back it will be with Captain Jim.

Spent a day with Jim and Belle. We had an awesome time catching a lot of big ones!!! Jim is a very versatile angler.We caught big fish in a variety of ways. I Highly recommend Cap'n Jim for any of your Lake G needs. He is the absolute best!!

Capt. Mike Thompson is at the top of his game. A true master class bass
fisherman and guide. I brought my boys down from PA to experience Lake Guntersville bass fishing and what a time we had with Mike. We got 19 bass with several 4-5 pounders and a 6 pounder for me! it was truly an unforgettable experience and when we return next year we are going out with Mike again!

Best day of fishing I’ve had on lake Guntersville hands down. Jim with Guntersville Bass Guides put us on some great spots for large mouth. This trip was originally planned for February but the weather had been bad the day before and the lake just wasn’t cooperating. Jim wanted his customers to have a great experience and rescheduled the trip for June 2nd. The wait was well worth it. Knowledgeable, professional, and beyond accommodating for a novice fisherman such as myself. Jim provided an experience beyond expectations. I highly recommend Jim and his team at Guntersville Bass Guides if you are planning a visit to Lake Guntersville! Thanks Jim for all the pointers and tips. Looking forward to my next outing!

Jim leary is no doubt one of the best guides on the lake. Understanding exactly how to pinpoint any type of tactic and make it perform. Whether you want to learn a certain technique or learn how to properly use your graphs to find schools of fish . I highly recommend Jim leary with Guntersville bass guides. You can't go wrong. Give him a call today

Myself my dad and uncle with over a combined 170 years fishing experience met captain jim at a local restaurant near guntersville lake not knowing he was a guide until the last day of our trip gave us advice on how to catch more fish and it worked for us if ever i make it back i will surly book a trip with him. After coming back to the home lakes it has caught us more fish. Thank you captain Jim Leary

I went out with Jim on a last second afternoon trip, and we had a blast. Caught plenty of good size fish and had some great conversation. I would definitely recommend Guntersville Bass Guides and The Owner Jim Leary.

Me and my son had 2 GREAT days of fishing with Jim and Shane. We caught a lot of big fish. My son was able to land his biggest fish ever an 8 lb 4 ounce giant! So glad Guntersville Bass Guides was able to take us out on such short notice. Thanks again and look forward to going fishing again with Jim and Shane in the future.

An Unforgettable Day ! My wife booked an evening trip for me for my birthday on Lake Guntersville will Jim Leary. I had never been to G-Ville and did not know what to expect. After meeting Jim at the ramp and seeing some pictures from his morning trip, I was pumped. We took off and made it to our first and only spot and it was on. 25 + fish . We kept 15 of our biggest to weigh. The small 5 was around 17lbs. Our middle 5 was 25lbs and our biggest 5 was 35lbs. Wow ! Truly a trip of a lifetime. It was so good that i changed my plans and went back out the next morning, although the bite slowed down from a cold front, we still had our best 5 go 23lbs. G-Ville is definitely on right now.
As for Jim, you won't meet a nicer guy. He puts in work day after day to make sure his clients are satisfied. He's the type of guy that will make you feel right at home while away from home. I highly recommend Jim if your thinking about fishing G-Ville.

I fished with Jim a few days after a major cold front had moved through. The bite was tough, but Jim was able to put me on some fish. Jim's a stand up guy and a hell of a guide. And Miss Belle is a great ride along partner. I'll be booking with Jim again in the spring. Give him a call, you won't be disappointed.

Just returned from a memorable bass trip with Jim! He runs an incredible guide service on Guntersville and also very down to earth guy! If you are looking for some big fish give this man a call! Appreciate the trip!

Captain Jim put us on the fish early and often. My son had spent the summer on several tough fishing trips without much action. He had such a great time on this one, and is still telling his friends about this experience a week later. Thanks so much for giving us a great time! We will definitely be back!

What a fantastic trip with captain Jim. He is absolutely in tune with lake Guntersville and how to target the great fish it produces. Caught 20+ fish and made a bag that I will remember forever. All I can say is I should have booked with Jim sooner. I will absolutely be coming back.

I'm glad I chose the one I did After looking around at all the different guides I'm glad I chose the one I did! Guntersville is Soo large that it can be intimidating, but with Jim he makes it easy. He asked us ahead of time what we were wanting to accomplish and I'm pretty sure he had that covered in the first hour. Jim is not only a good guide, but he is a great guy. We had a tournament the next day and he called to check on us to see how we were doing. That phone call and his " little tip " helped keep one of our fish alive through the night that would have cost us points! Overall I would say if your looking for a guide for practice, learning, or just the best day of bass fishing you ever had.. Look no further. Call Jim! Oh and a special thanks to Belle for teaching me how to read electronics!

Amazing fishing experience! Captain Mike was the best, he made my sons, day letting him reel in all the fish, was very patient and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend Mike for your next charter, can't wait to go again!

Well, let me start with my first meeting with Capt Jim. I was paired up with him in a BFL bass tour as a co angular. As most competitive, co angular bass fisherman know. Your success really is in the hands of the pro angular and how he helps or prevents you from catching fish. Capt Jim was a true professional! He gave me lures to try and gave me a fair shot at the same fish he was trying to catch. The experience was so good that I had to fish with him again on his home turf. My experience was even better this time. He put me on the fish, gave me advise, and made it absolutely perfect. Except for the 10lb plus bass that came unbuttoned which was more disheartening for him it seemed. I had so much fun that even that couldn't ruin my trip. I highly recommend that you book a trip asap! Once more people find out how good he really is, good luck finding a day with his full schedule. Capt Jim, will you be able to fish at night? Lol

Captain Jim in my opinion is a first class guide. He will try his best to put you on a fishing trip of a life time. He supplies you with everything you need to fish with. His co-partner Belle is a very loving dog. After a day on the water with the two of them you will have made a new friend. He is very knowledgeable of the lake and how to locate fish. If anyone has not used Captain Jim, please give him a call and book a memory to keep for ever.

Wow! What an unforgettable day on the lake with Captain Jim, my 12 year old son, and Belle. I blindly started a search for a bass guide for a mother/son fishing trip and I struck gold. By some miracle, I selected Guntersville Bass Guides and gave Captain Jim a call. He answered right then and had us booked in a flash. He answered all of my lodging questions and even helped me out with a list of recommended restaurants. What seemed like a huge ordeal suddenly got really simple with the help of Capt. Jim!
We had the most excellent time, ever. My son and I have talked about it nonstop since we left Guntersville yesterday. He wants to go back at Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Spring Break. And it gets a lot worse for my pocketbook - he wants the entire Spring Break Week.
Captain Jim was there waiting on us at 5:45 and Belle took off at full speed to meet us strangers at the boat ramp. What a welcome! Although Jim explained that the fish were acting a little funky the past few days, his enthusiasm and expertise never waned. He taught us about the entire ecosystem. We got an education as he patiently explained everything about fishing to us, along with water levels, grasses, how the dam affects the water level and how that affects the fish, water temperatures, best times of year for fishing Guntersville, and on and on. It was fascinating and SO MUCH FUN!!! Capt. Jim is THE most patient person ever. He "mentioned" to my son at least 100 times how to be patient and how to do this or that. And Capt. Jim worked like a dog to take us to the fish, untangle, fix, explain, etc. He did everything possible to make sure we had the time of our lives. No joke.
My son hauled in a couple of nice ones and although I won the grass-catching tournament, I'm not sure who had more fun ... my 12 year old son or me. I expected to have a nice time, but my main goal was a great outing for my son. Well, clearly the great outing part was achieved in the first 30 minutes and it only got better and better. But I was shocked that not only did I have a great outing ... it was one of the best days I can remember.
We will book again with Captain Jim and Belle just as soon as we can get back up there.
Y'all will not find a better time or a better guide. Book with Capt. Jim now - just don't book so many that we can't get back in!!
Go for it, y'all.

Capt. Jim met with my bass club to prepare us for an upcoming club tournament. He shared the best patterns, top baits and best locations. Top Notch! Thanks Jim!

I"m going to start out by thanking my girlfriend (Angela) for booking this trip for me. Captain Jim was very accommodating with her and took his time to explain the different packages he has to offer. She had no clue as to what to choose for me, but Captain Jim took his time with her and came up with a great option.

Thanks again Captain Jim.

Captain Jim is a great guide. Out of all the guides I've been with he was the most helpful, nicest and he's funny. We caught bass, I pet his dog Bell, we laughed and had a lot of fun. If you need a guide to take you bass fishing on Lake Guntersville call Captain Jim. You will have a great time and catch many bass.

Long overdue review but we SMOKED em out on the lake with Captain Mike. 23 in the boat before 11:30 is a freaking WIN! Mike is knowledgeable and friendly as heck.. he’ll greet you with a “Welcome to Alabama” handshake. Jam up guy and jam up fisherman for sure! Ask him to teach you to use the bait caster in under 10 minutes and beat my time of under 5! 😂 Such a fun trip and already scheduled our next outing with him before we left the boat!

Now save some time booking with the questions I already asked -
*Deposit is taken upfront - $100(for now - subject to change of course ) the rest is due at the time of your trip. Cash is always great , there is a small surcharge to use a cc. Don’t forget to tip these guys ! They deserve it ☺️
*Boats- the guides all have Ranger, Phoenix , etc. No jiloppy boats / I mean being from out of town you gotta ask right 😂
*Lodging- there’s sooo many places around and the info is in the confirmation email they send you . Definitely Skip the Wyndham!!!! Stay at the Anglers Retreat cabins ! They’re awesome!
*Alabama Fishing License - that link is also in the email.
*Fishing Poles- these guys have a ton but feel free to bring your own 🙂 You want to be comfy and knock it out of the park!

Jim really knows how to take care of his client's!! I was on fish right away both days! I will be back soon!!

03/2018. Third year coming back twice per year. Jim is one of the hardest working guides I know. He knows when I come to the BIG G, I'm looking for quality, not quantity!! He finds big fish, and he finds them quickly!!
I've told Jim on a number of occasions that if he needs a reference, have anyone contact me. I'm telling everyone, you won't be disappointed, from 1st time anglers, to fast action fishing, to hunt for big bass, Jim's got it all!!! Thank you Jim!! We will do it again tomorrow!!

Captain Jim is top notch, if you book with him, just listen to him and fish!! Jim will give you the trip of a lifetime, just listen to him. He is an amazing guide, and a great person!! Thank you Jim Leary.

Yet another great trip with Jim. The fishing was tough, but Jim found them once again. Fishing with Jim is no longer client based, we just click. I said it before, but it's like fishing with a friend!
Anyone looking for a quality trip, Jim is that guy, yes, he can put you on quantity if that's what your looking for, but when I come to G, he knows we will be in search of big bass. If anyone wants to enjoy the BIG G with a great guide, and more so, a great person Jim is that guy.

Another great trip with Jim Leary and Guntersville Bass Guides!! This time I brought a buddy from Michigan, Hunter Buter made his first trip to Guntersville Lake. Although the size fish that Jim and I are used to wasn't there, the numbers were. The fish were on the move, but as usual Jim found them. We all were catching fish.
I've said this before and I will continue to say it, Jim Leary and Guntersville Bass Guides are top notch!! Jim will always work to find fish in any weather pattern! I will be back again and again.
Fishing with Jim over 3 years now, and it's not a guide/client relationship!! Jim and I are great friends!! I'll be back!! Highly recommended for sure!!!

We had a great experience with Myles. Fishing was rough just not a good day but he gave it all he had to get us on all the fish he possibly could. Great guide and great day hope to be back again sooner rather than later to give it another go.

This was my wife and I first trip to Lake Guntersville and our first time meeting Jim. Great guy and an even better fishing experience. I caught my personal best and will be back to fish again. Thanks again for being so patient with us and giving us everything we expected.

My wife and I fished with Captain Phil today April 3. We had a great trip and put 52 Largemouth in the boat today and dropped a few . Looking forward to fishing with Captain Phil again tomorrow. Thanks for a great day .Gary and Louanne Root.

I had a great morning on the water with Capt. Jim! He was professional, courteous, and worked hard to find us fish. I plan to use Guntersville Bass Guides again and would recommend them to anyone looking to do some fishing on Lake Guntersville!

My friend also caught his personal best. I had a great friend of mine visiting me from Colorado for the Holidays and the two of us were able to fish with Jim New Year's Eve. Jim was completely upfront and honest with us, explaining that the bite had changed with the weather and that we'd be working to figure things out. We set out on our adventure and Jim worked hard and methodically to figure out where the fish were staged at. Though the morning started slow, we were able to discern a great pattern and catch more than 12 bass under hard conditions to include a 5 bass sack weighing more than 19 lbs. My friend also caught his personal best. Not only was it great to catch fish on a tough day, but it was a lot of fun fishing with Jim; he has a great, fun personality and he still has a strong, driving passion to fish---he's not jaded out like I've experienced with fishing guides in the past. It was a wonderful experience all around and I'd highly recommend him to any angler.

I want to start by saying I am a weekend angler. When I am not fishing tournaments, I am usually practicing for them. I work a full time job so it is very important to maximize my time on the water. My fishing partner and I reached out to Jim and didn't know what to expect since this was our first guide trip. It was one of the best days we have ever had on the water. We fished out of a brand new Legend boat, loaded out with power poles, new electronics, and top of the line rod and reels. It was like we had another friend in the boat, a friend that knew where the big bass lived. He doesn't just point and tell you where to throw, he teaches what you throwing at and why they are there. I recommend Jim and his guides to anyone and we will be going again soon. I feel like we didn't just meet a dependable guide but a new friend.

Amazing 3 day trip with the father and brother in-law.

Captain Mike T. took care of us for an experience that will make lifetime memories. He went above and beyond for two reasons i'm convinced; he loves to fish, and he loves to spend time and help people have great experiences. I can't imagine a better guide—thank you.

The absolute best guide trip I’ve ever experienced the past week was my third trip with GBG and won’t be my last never seen anyone who cares more about fish care and conservation than these guys keep up the good work GBG

Amazing experience! We called two hours before and he was happy to take our boys out on the lake. I would definitely recommend this guide service!

Had a half day trip with Captain Phillip. On a tough day with cold and windy conditions our boat was able to bring 5 to lip, however many more opportunities were had. A 6 pounder to the boat sealed the deal for my guntersville experience.

Being a fly fishing guide from CO I could see that Capt Phillip was professional, on time, and has a beautiful ranger boat and lowrance electronic setup. This stood out to me, and was a great experience.

I did the advance sonar with Captain Jim. He very knowledgeable and set my graphs up perfectly. I learned a lot with captain Jim and highly recommend anybody needing help understanding your graphs better to setup a time to take the advanced sonar with captain Jim. He will explain everything you have questions about. Also did a guide service with captain Jim also highly recommend doing that with him to. Especially if you never fished Guntersville. Will definitely be going back to do another guided trip with captain Jim. Wel

We really appreciate Captain Shane for the guide. He was very knowledgeable. Had a lot of enjoyable stories. Kind, and most definitely friendly. We def recommend him and most likely will return!!

We had an amazing trip with CPT. Mike. He put us right on the bass! A master of his craft and we gained tons of knowledge from spending a day with him. Will be booking again!

I caught my personal best bass of 7.5lb My first trip to Guntersville in the fall of 2013 would prove to be the trip that started an obsession with this lake. Jim Leary took us out and we had the experience of a lifetime and I have the pictures to prove it! Without his knowledge of the area we would've been a lost ball in high weeds. However, we caught more quality fish from 3-6lbs than I can even count. It was such an experience that we came back the very next weekend and on the 2nd cast I caught my personal best bass of 7.5lb. Book your trip and you won't be sorry!

Mike Thompson was great.
Relatively slow bite over the past few days but he was patient and put us on fish.
Would recommend

Cant wait till next time! Fishing on Lake Guntersville can be challenging for an average angler like me, but fishing with Jim Leary has been the best experiences for me year after year. He really is the best guide to take a trip with any time of the year. Jim made our trips enjoyable and full of action with some big un's every time. We always end up with a big sack, and some good tips to use next time. He has the best equipment, and electronics, and more importantly knows how to use them. I would recommend Jim for anyone wanting to learn the lake and where the big ones live. I have fished with some other good guides, but Jim is the man, and the reason I am a returning customer. Cant wait till next time!

Great day with GBGs Great day with GBGs, excellent knowledge, customer service and gear. Best day bass fishing my son Beau and I ever had. Record number and PB bass for Beau of 7lb 15oz. A large number were over 4lbs. Great job getting us on the fish and making the day fun and educational with a little humor mixed in. Highly recommend GBGs, we will be back. We'll worth the drive from Wisconsin.

Best guide service 10/10! These fellas have all of the knowledge and experience. Very professional. Will be returning for a second trip!

An Unforgettable Day ! My wife booked an evening trip for me for my birthday on Lake Guntersville will Jim Leary. I had never been to G-Ville and did not know what to expect. After meeting Jim at the ramp and seeing some pictures from his morning trip, I was pumped. We took off and made it to our first and only spot and it was on. 25 + fish . We kept 15 of our biggest to weigh. The small 5 was around 17lbs. Our middle 5 was 25lbs and our biggest 5 was 35lbs. Wow ! Truly a trip of a lifetime. It was so good that i changed my plans and went back out the next morning, although the bite slowed down from a cold front, we still had our best 5 go 23lbs. G-Ville is definitely on right now.
As for Jim, you won't meet a nicer guy. He puts in work day after day to make sure his clients are satisfied. He's the type of guy that will make you feel right at home while away from home. I highly recommend Jim if your thinking about fishing G-Ville.

Went out yesterday with Cap. Jim. Very impressed. I was hesitant to pay for any guide thinking there would be alot of small fish. I was wrong. Great balance of numbers, quality, and different ways to catch them. Our best 5 was rocking 24-25 pounds. Very respectable this time of year. Will definitely book again!

Captain Jim is a professional! I contacted him to arrange for a group of 5 to fish at the Big G! I selected the “Roughing It” trip and he took care of the rest! He arranged for us to stay in cabins across the street from the boat launching area. The cabins were clean and comfortable. We arrived at the cabin late the night before we were to fish not knowing what to expect the next morning.
Captain Jim was there the next morning as scheduled at 5:15am with two other guides and their fully equipped bass boats and fishing gear and away we went. The next eight hours were filled with an amazing life experience that none of us will forget.
My fear of bringing 4 guests from out of town and not catching any fish was soon nullified. Within 15 minutes of launching we (Cpt Jim and I) had caught 3 fish and we had reports that the other boats were also having luck! I was introduced to Belle, Capt. Jim’s fishing partner who was bringing us all luck. She would give each fish we caught “sugar” (a little lick) before throwing them back, and then she’d curl up in the bottom of the boat to prevent getting a treble hook embedded in her doggie hide.
Capt. Jim knows the lake well, not only for fish, but also for the other wild life that inhabit the area. As we were cruising to the next hot fishing hole, an American bald eagle flew about 30 feet above our heads, undoubtedly looking for morning breakfast. What a beautiful site!
We cruised to five or six different holes trying to catch the big ones we could see on the fish finder. Capt Jim checked all his resources to find the fish. He checked how much water was being released through the dam up river. Knowing this, would most certainly affect the fishing. Capt Jim adjusted how we fished...depths, types of bait, and retrieval methods, to entice the fish to bite.
We all met at the end of our eight hours and shared our fishing experiences. In all we had caught between 80 to 100 fish. If you’re looking for a great fishing experience, give Capt. Jim a call! He’s one of the best!

My brother and I had the pleasure of spending the morning with Capt. Jeff recently and had a wonderful trip! Despite torrential rain and high winds, we were on fish all morning! From the moment we stepped on his boat it felt like we were getting together again with an old friend. Capt. Jeff was so friendly and helpful. If you are looking for a guide on Lake Guntersville, you absolutely cannot go wrong with Guntersville Bass Guides. These guys are the real deal! You will NOT be sorry booking with them. Already looking forward to the next trip!

I just called Capt. Jim I am from Mississippi and my Grandparents live in Guntersville . I come visit now and then and to feed a fishing craving I looked up guides online . I just called Capt Jim one day and he was very helpful . I scheduled and booked me a slot and he worked super hard to accommodate my small window of opportunity . Thanks so much ! Did a 4 hour trip which they stretched way out to more like 5 and we had a good catch ! I will definately go with him again . Capt Cameron and Capt Jim you wont be dissapointed !

Captain Jim is an awesome guide! He knows the lake very well, and was also extremely organized and prepared for our trip! He was very personable and patient and provided great service. Best of all, on a little bit of a tougher day he put me on some fish. When we got back to the boat launch all the other anglers struggled and were shocked when I told them how many fish we caught! Great trip and can't reccomend Jim and his guide service enough! If you're headed to Lake Guntersville, give yourself an unfair advantage and call Guntersville Bass Guides!

June 30th & July 1st of this year 2020 my husband & I went out with Captain Jim! Our time with him was nothing but a great experience. Jim was kind, patient & really easy to get along with. He put us ON THE FISH. I reeled in the biggest bass I’ve ever caught. Definitely booking more trips with him in the future. Thanks CaptainJim

Guntersville is a great lake! And Capt Mike Thompson is the best! He put us on the fish first thing. We fished the milfoil on the banks of the underwater river channel with fish jumping all around us and we caught a TON good sized largemouth bass. And, Capt Mike is a great host and conversationalist. He was very knowledgeable and informative, and we learned a lot from him. We had a blast!

I would highly recommend Guntersville Bass Guides. The experience exceeded every expectation I had. Their knowledge of the lake showed as we were able to catch fish every place we stopped. Great job and I will be back and tell everyone I know about you guys.

My 7 year old son and I had an excellent fishing trip with Captain Jim. He was determined to find the bass and help my son land “the big one”. We can’t wait to do it again!

5 star guide service Takes very good care of clients. Learned alot from Jim Leary. Very laid back. Guaranteed to catch a fish with Guntersville Bass Guides. 5 star guide service. Highly recommended if you wanna catch some HOGS.

Fished 2 days with Captain Jim and his his awesome assistant Lily. I had a great time!!! He is an enjoyable dude to be around and just have a conversation let alone he knows how to get you on fish! By far my best day ever on Guntersville. We boated well over 20 in an hour or so at one point. I was fortunate enough to get one over 6 and got to check a couple things off my bucket list. I would recommend Jim whenever you have a chance to go. I know I will be back, hopefully sooner than later.

Absolutely top notch people and service. Went out with Mike Thompson and he found the bass on a hot summer morning. Very impressive. He is a true professional, will be going again with him.

My 12 year old son and I went fishing with Captain Jim My 12 year old son and I went fishing with Captain Jim from Guntersville Bass Guides and had an awesome time. Scheduling a date/time was extremely quick and easy. Not only did Capt Jim put us on the fish he was able to teach my son some valuable tips and tricks along the way. It's already been a week since we went fishing with Guntersville Bass Guides and my son and I talk about it everyday and how we cannot wait to go back! Truely an amazing experience! What are you waiting for people, book now! - Brad from Ohio

And he put me on my personal best on artificial I spent a few days fishing with Captain Jim the week of July 27th through August 2nd and man was it a blast! I came down to the Big G for my vacation not really expecting anything like what happened fishing with Jim! It was enough to get me to come back down and fish with him again the next weekend though! During these dog days of summer with real feel temps of 105+ and water temps of around 90 and more you don't really expect to go on the water and have the greatest of days no matter where you are fishing! However, with the knowledge Jim has on the lake and know how of when and where the big ones are going to be, we managed to sack around 20-26 pounds in our best five each day we fished together! And he put me on my personal best on artificial, so you can't beat that! This man knows his stuff and can put you on em'! Not only is Jim an awesome guide and a pretty cool guy to fish with, he is a class act! Not being from around the area and not having any clue what goes on in the area; Jim showed me a couple cool tackle stores, some awesome places around town to eat, and a few local hangouts! He definitely made me feel more at home which isn't something you get out of your every day guide service! I will definitely be making another trip back to fish with him soon when the big girls really are chewing! If you want to go out and have a good time on the water while having a good shot at your personal best sack of fish or personal best fish of a lifetime, I would suggest giving Captain Jim a call!

I bought a guided trip with Captain Jim Leary for my husband's birthday! He loved it and wants to go back in the spring!

Jim really knows how to take care of his client's!! I was on fish right away both days! I will be back soon!! This group of guys really know their stuff when it comes to putting you on fish, and quickly too!! Thank you Jim and Mike for 2 great day's of fishing!! I would recommend these guys to anyone from beginner to expert!! Trip #2 in November 2016 was a huge success, and a lot of fun!! Once more Jim did the job!! He is a top notch guide, but this trip was much more, it felt like two good friends fishing together!! Fishing with Jim and Guntersville Bass Guides is a contagious thing, I'll be back to do it again, and again!! If you want a trip of a lifetime, I suggest you book one with these guys, it's an experience you'll never forget!! It's making memories!! I'll be back!! Thank you again buddy!!
03/2018. Third year coming back twice per year. Jim is one of the hardest working guides I know. He knows when I come to the BIG G, I'm looking for quality, not quantity!! He finds big fish, and he finds them quickly!!
I've told Jim on a number of occasions that if he needs a reference, have anyone contact me. I'm telling everyone, you won't be disappointed, from 1st time anglers, to fast action fishing, to hunt for big bass, Jim's got it all!!! Thank you Jim!! We will do it again tomorrow!!

if you won't the best guide for Guntersville you need to call Captain Jim. I did it was best trip ever !!!. Today 2/16/18 my 3rd trip with captain Jim ! we had over 70 bass and two 7 pounders we weighed 32 of them and had over 102 pounds nuff said you had better call this good man and now good friend .

I've been fishing with Jim twice now. He's a great guy and guide. The only thing wrong with the last trip is that he caught a few more fish than I did. However, I beat him the first time out. I decided a tie breaker is in order and if he wins, I have to pay...if I win, I'm free :).

Jim Leary's Guntersville Bass Guides service is absolutely top notch. Jim Leary's Guntersville Bass Guides service is absolutely top notch. I never write google reviews, but after my trip I felt it would be a disservice to Jim if I didn't because I flat-out had one of the best afternoons fishing of my life. If you're looking to catch great fish and learn a ton, stop your search and call Jim to book a trip. It's like going out with a long-time fishing buddy, except he always answers his phone, he's punctual, and has everything prepared for you. I am a decently experienced fisherman but lack time spent on the water, so in addition to wanting to catch some Guntersville giants, I was really hoping to gain some knowledge. Check and check. Jim's knowledge of fish behavior and his adaptability are fantastic. As we went out, he said we were going to be doing something different than he had planned - but landing a 5-pounder on my 3rd cast proved he knew the right calls to make. We sacked up 6 that were photo-worthy weighing close to 30 pounds in 4 hours. Despite peppering him constantly with questions on hows and whys of fish theory, he graciously shared his knowledge and experience. The only thing we missed out on was the opportunity to get video footage of him bear hugging a 7-1/2 pounder over the side of the boat to make sure she didn't get away! Big thanks to you Jim - you'll be seeing me again for sure!

Best guide ever!!! There's not a more patient guy than Jim!! I am new to bass fishing and Jim took the time to teach me the correct way to catch the big ones!! He knows the lake so well and knows where to put you to have success! Best guide ever!!!

My son and I booked captain Mike on a last minute request when our other guide cancelled our trip(on another lake). Mike was communicative, prompt and friendly. We had a great time on the water and he put us on fish right away. It was a tough day for fishing and we were able to put ‘em in the boat for a most of the of the day. We had more than 20 on the boat before noon. We would recommend captain Mike we had a blast.
We also loved that Mike fished with us. Not all guides do that. It was great to reference what he was doing while we were fishing along side of him! Go with Mike you won’t regret it.

Best guide in the business!!! If you want to catch some monster bass and enjoy the company you’re with, Jim is your guide! My dad and I have been with Jim twice now and we plan on making this an annual father son trip after catching my new PB and my dad catching the biggest bass he’s caught in 40 years! Thanks Jim and Lily for putting us on the big ones
