What we provide:
At Tim Chandler’s Pro Guide Service we provide clients with high quality
gear. We fish out of a 2012 Phoenix Bass Boat powered by a Mercury 250 ProXs with HD Lowrance Electronics and Motorguide trolling motor. Onboard you
will notice drinks, snacks, life vests, tackle, digital camera, Shimano reels,
and Falcon rods are provided. I don’t charge extra for lost or used lures.
What you should remember to bring:
Please
bring a rain suit because you never know about the weather
here. If you have any special needs, please advise in advance
before the trip.
It is not a problem if you would like to use your own rods,
however I would like my tackle to be used. I actually encourage
you to bring your own rods this way you are not uncomfortable
with strange equipment. If you have any special beverages
you prefer to drink, please bring them with you. Food for lunch
can be obtained while we are on the water at local establishments.
How to choose a fishing guide:
You have
many guides to choose from on Lake Guntersville because over
the last 5 years the lake has experienced a surge in fishing
guides. Every spring Guntersville
starts out with 30 plus guides but it always dwindles down
to just a hand full making their living guiding every day. Guides
pops up all the time with little to no experience on the
lake. They have a boat and a fishing rod, so now they call
themselves a fishing guide. You will find some retired guys
and their motto is, “I’m going to fish anyway,
might as well get paid for it”. You will also find
guides that say they are accomplished tournament anglers
but cannot furnish any evidence that they have won anything
on Lake Guntersville. As the ole saying goes, “Anyone
can catch a fish and be whoever they want to be on the internet”. All
they have to do is write it. I suggest you be careful in
who you hire and take the time to do a little research on
your next fishing guide. Ask around for references and call
the local tackle shops to find out who is worth taking a
trip with. Don't be afraid to ask your fishing guide questions,
before you book a trip. Find out how long they have been
guiding on Lake Guntersville. Check their qualifications;
almost every bass fishing guide will say they are the best.
So use your discretion and remember if its sounds too good...it
probably is. A guide's reputation is the most important part
of his business.
