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.

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.

I booked a trip for a "Mother's day" gift to myself and went out with Captain Mike for a 4 hr trip. I hooked the 1st bass of the day which was a great feeling but ended with my first 8 lb bass! Personal best so far! Captain Mike is the greatest and such a pleasure to fish with. He knew exactly where the big fish were, prompt in communication and meet up arrangements. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversations.....planning a return trip with Captain Mike again next year and hoping for an even larger 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!

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.

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!

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.

Had a ton of fun on the ride! When no more fish were biting he’d redirect us to a place full. Belle was super sweet and really helped me with my fear of the water. 10/10 would recommend.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

11/242018.
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.

11/2019

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!!!

I came all the way from California to fish with GBG-they did not disappoint. Capt. Shane is very knowledgeable about bass fishing and knows the lake and the spots to find the fish. The weather was cold and raining but determined to catch a bass...and we did and what a beauty. Enjoyed the experience so much planning on coming back in a few months. Thank you Jim Leary!

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!

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.
