Lake Guntersville Bass Fishing Guide — Close to Athens, Tennessee

Athens sits right on the Tennessee River corridor in McMinn County, about 72 miles northeast of Lake Guntersville. For anglers who live near the river in East Tennessee, Guntersville is an entirely different caliber of bass fishery — bigger fish, denser grass, and more consistent trophy-class action.

Captain Shane Ellis guides on Lake Guntersville full-time. The lake sits downstream from Chickamauga and Watts Bar but supports a much heavier hydrilla base and warmer water temperatures in the summer, which is why it produces bigger bass. For Athens anglers who want to see what the difference looks like, a guided trip with Shane is the fastest way to find out. Shane fishes the lake every day and puts clients on fish in every season.
