Great Fishing Morning
Half Day Trip on June 17, 20262 adults

We caught a bit of everything. Tim put us right over the Large Mouth Bass beds and we found plenty of action. A few lessons on casting and presentation had us catching quickly. A turn around the river put us over some nice Stripped Bass. Tim knows how to find fish and can get you catching plenty. The trip was over too soon. Can't wait for another opportunity to fish with Tim.

Reported catch:
Largemouth Bass

Tons of fish!
Full Day Trip on July 17, 20262 adults

My dad and I went with Captain Tim and caught loads of bass. Between my dad and I, we caught around 40, and missed probably 30. Tim was super helpful putting us on fish and telling us exactly how to get bites. Loads of fun!

It was a good trip.
Full Day Trip on March 18, 20262 adults

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.

Tim Chandler is a North Alabama native who has lived there his entire life. He was introduced to fishing by his father, who taught him how to catch Crappie and Bluegill on the Tennessee River. When Tim was 13, he was allowed to operate a small tri-hull boat with a 25 HP engine in Roseberry Creek on Guntersville Lake all by himself. He discovered the excitement of catching Bass – something that his father never had the patience to fish for. Tim spent almost every weekend camping in Alabama and learned every little nook and cranny. When he was 17, he joined a local Bass club and a few years later, Tim purchased his first Bass boat. As the years went by and he won local fishing tournaments, Tim realized it wasn't fulfilling the competitive desire he had. Tim moved on to bigger competitions like US Angler's Choice, BFL, and many more. With his success, Tim decided to become a full-time guide on North Alabama's premier lakes – that's how Tim Chandler's Pro Guide Service was started.
