Scott Jernigan

Member since June 2023 Guntersville, United States
Background
I grew up fishing at Lake Eufaula. It was a great lake then and I won my share of tournaments there. Then I started traveling to fish in Guntersville and fell in love with the lake and the area. Now I guide here and love it!
Techniques
I will fish ledges on occasion but the grass on Guntersville holds a large population of bass. The grass pattern is dominant for most of the year. When I'm crappie fishing i fish stumps and brush most of the year.
