Lake Guntersville Fishing Report – June 8, 2025 Back-to-Back Bass Bites

Water Temps & Conditions

Water temperatures are steady and warm. An unusual run of east wind earlier in the week pushed floating grass into unexpected areas, but as winds shifted back, things began looking more normal again. With rain in the forecast, expect some surface cooling.

Captain Jim: “The Boys” Are Back

I spent most of the week with a pair of retired anglers I call “the boys”—their name for themselves. They fished with purpose and stayed locked in all day. Their rhythm was steady, and the fish responded. Good laughs, consistent bites, and exactly the kind of trip you hope to give returning anglers.

Mack & His Dad Light It Up

Later in the week, I had the pleasure of guiding Mack and his dad. On one of our outings, the end of the day turned electric—a bite every cast for a solid 15 to 20 minutes. Big ones, too. They both handled it like seasoned pros. That kind of window doesn’t open often, and they made it count.

Captain Scott: 5-Star Outing with First-Time Largemouth

Thomas Wilkinson, Local Guide – “Went out with Scott on Sunday and had a blast!!!! Took my father‑in‑law for his first largemouth ever and was not disappointed. Fishing with Scott…was like fishing with a friend we’ve known for 20 years. We will be back! Scott is the best guide on the water!”

Captain Myles: Solid Patterns & Happy Clients

Between his time helping stranded boaters with TowBoatUS over on Wheeler, Captain Myles stayed on fish and stayed booked. His clients enjoyed both the action and the atmosphere. Whether it was figuring out the day’s best pattern or covering water with purpose, Myles made sure every trip delivered. They left with smiles—and fish photos to back it up.

Patterns & Tactics Recap

• Bass position: Fish are grouped tight. If you find one, stick with it—but be ready to adjust.

• The bite: Mornings brought more consistency. As the sun climbed, bites slowed and fish got picky.

• What worked: Slower presentations made a difference. But when the fish turned on? You had to move fast to keep up.

Crappie are lighting up the electronics.

Didn’t set out for crappie, but a surprise school fired up near some bass. They jumped all over the crankbait—one slab after another came to the boat.
