Neely Henry Lake · Guided Bass Fishing

Gadsden Bass Fishing Guide

Guided bass fishing trips for anglers from Gadsden, AL with Captain Shane Ellis and his pro guide team.

Gadsden straddles the Coosa River and Neely Henry Lake, giving the city's anglers quality bass water right downtown — and Weiss Lake is only a short drive northeast. Few Alabama cities of its size sit this close to genuinely good bass fishing, with hard-fighting Coosa River spotted bass and solid largemouth on tap.

Neely Henry runs right through Gadsden, with riprap, bridge pilings, seawalls, and creek arms all within easy reach.

Gadsden anglers have an enviable choice: fish Neely Henry at home, or run northeast to Weiss for shallow Coosa largemouth — Captain Shane guides both.
