Come see what Bass fishing is all about and join a tournament-winning champion and expert local guide who knows all the nooks, crannies, and honey holes from the fresh waters of Alabama all the way up to the Great Lakes. Your guide for the day, Dave Steadman, has won multiple Bass fishing tournaments and knows all the techniques and tricks to help you land a trophy freshwater fish.

Your boat for the day is a 20' Skeeter bass boat, built exclusively for freshwater lake and river fishing. She's powered by a 225 HP Mercury engine, comes with a GPS and fishfinder, and is equipped with state-of-the-art tackle and safety gear to ensure an enjoyable ride. Dave is a CPR-trained and certified guide and takes safety very seriously. There's no minimum age for kids, each trip accommodates up 2 guests, and both can fish at the same time.

You'll be bottom fishing and jigging along the productive waters of Guntersville Lake, targeting a range of Bass species, including Smallies, Largemouth, Spotted, and Hybrid Striped Bass. You'll also be able to target Crappie and any other freshwater fish that are attracted to the bait.

Dave keeps his boat stocked with snacks, water, and soda, but feel free to bring your own food and put them in his cooler. He also has an array of different brands of top-quality rods and reels so you don't have to lug your own equipment around. Just be sure to purchase a fishing license online and the rest will be taken care of.

Get ready to be put on some serious trophy Bass and Crappie and join Dave Steadman for some fun and Steady Fishing! Pack some light clothing, don't forget your sunblock, and come ready to land a fish or two that will look good mounted above the fireplace!

    2 Day Trip with Captain Dave

    Full Day Trip on May 20, 2022 • 2 adults

    5/5! Great experience! Dave is obvious knowledgeable regarding the lake, underwater terrain, and best lure for conditions. He was a ton of fun to chat with and made the trip very enjoyable! Boat/equipment excellent. Do not bring own rods/tackle he has more than enough. Plenty of brand name snacks and water. Even carries sunscreen if you’re from up North. I plan on returning trips! Definitely made my first guided fishing trip an excellent experience!

    Full day trip with Capt Dave

    Half Day Trip (AM) on April 24, 2020 • 2 adults

    Great Capt. Knew the water and exactly what the fish were doing. He put us where the fish were. Caught a few, missed a few. Weather was horrible, cold, lots of runoff that had the water murky and temps were 10 degrees colder than normal. We didn’t fill the boat with fish but we had a great day on the water. We will do it again soon. Thanks Capt..

    Our Captain took great care of us. We caught over 15 fish, a few which went 6+. You could tell he had spent time preparing for not just putting us on fish but thinking of presentations we could execute. He managed the boat well, even in Gusty winds He adapted to the conditions well and his boat and tackle were new and well maintained. I learned about patterning the lake so I will be more successful when I take my son out on our own. I'd gladly use Steady fishing again.

    My 11 year old son and I booked a trip with Captain Dave. Dave did an excellent job from beginning to end. He proactively called me to see if I had any questions. On the day of the trip he was ready to go, his boat and equipment were clean and organized, and he was very knowledgeable of the fishing area. He even extended our time, so we could continue to fish. A great day!!
