Scottsboro sits on the upper end of Lake Guntersville in Jackson County, where the Tennessee River widens into the reservoir's northern reaches. You're right on productive upper-lake water, including the well-known Goose Pond area, but even anglers who fish here often pick up new patterns, electronics tricks, and water with a guide.
The upper end around Scottsboro has its own character: more river influence, classic Tennessee River grass, and excellent ledge fishing.
Even if you know the lake, a day with Shane is a fast way to dial in the current seasonal pattern, sharpen your electronics, or learn new water.
