Tim Chandler’s fishing guide service doesn’t disappoint!!!

Full Day Trip on June 16, 2025 • 2 adults

We drove from south central Oklahoma to make the dream of a young man’s dream come true.  Dalton had wanted to fish Lake Guntersville for his Sr trip. Tim Chandler was the guide he had been reading about and wanting to fish with since he was a freshman.  With guide trip made, Tim left with Dalton and Nate for a 6 hour trip that did not disappoint them.  Within 3 minutes they were on did and stayed on fish until time to come to the dock.  Tim made them feel at ease and comfortable.  They are talking about their next trip back and of course it has to be with Tim Chandler’s Guide Service.  Give him a call if you’re in the area or going to be going near Lake Guntersville.  (256) 665-8292

It was a good trip.

Tim was a very good guide and very knowledgeable of the lake.  He was very personable and we enjoyed our time on the lake with him. He worked hard to find fish, but the fishing was a little slow due to a bad weather front. I would recommend Tim if you are planning a fishing trip to Guntersville Lake.
