If you're driving in from Huntsville, Birmingham, Chattanooga, Gadsden, or anywhere around North Alabama and Georgia, Guntersville is one of the easiest trophy bass destinations to reach. Find your hometown:
Nope. Plenty of Shane's trips are first-timers and families. He'll set you up, show you what to do, and keep it relaxed. If you're an experienced angler, just tell Shane what you want to work on and he'll fish accordingly.
Should I book a 4-hour or a 6-hour trip?
A 4-hour trip is great for a quick morning, kids, or a first taste of the lake. A 6-hour trip gives more time to run water, work seasonal patterns, and learn more, a better fit if you're driving in or want to really dial it in. Not sure? Call or text Shane and he'll help you choose.
Do you provide rods, reels, and tackle?
Yes, everything's included. You fish from a fully rigged Phoenix bass boat with quality rods, reels, and tackle. The only thing you bring is your Alabama fishing license. Please leave personal tackle boxes at home.
Do I need a fishing license?
Yes. A valid Alabama fishing license is required and isn't included in the trip price. You can buy one online from Outdoor Alabama before your trip.
