The famous Royal Shad Super Spot is a favorite among
clients and local anglers on Guntersville Lake. In the spring when the
lipless crankbait bite heats up so does this bait and the tackle stores
can’t keep them on the shelf.
Cotton Cordell fishing lures were originally designed
to help fishing guides satisfy their clients on heavily fished waters.
It was essential to come up with something new, something easy to fish,
something that really worked when all else failed. That’s the legacy
behind these exceptionally successful fishing lures, and that's still
the way we think at Cotton Cordell.
The Bomber Balsa B is the perfect bait to fish shallow grass on Lake
Guntersville. You can reel this bait down until it hits the grass and
then pause it to let it float up out of the grass. Bass can’t stand
it when the bait frees itself of the grass.
Bomber Lures is all about having just the right bait for the job at
hand. As one of the most recognized brands of fishing lures and plugs
of all fishing tackle, Bomber offers a full range of Bomber crankbaits
and minnow lures. From Model As to Long As and the Fat Free Shad family,
you won't find a more productive or versatile line of high-quality hard
plastic fishing lures - including just about every diving depth, running
style and color imaginable.
Silver Thread fishing line has the smaller diameter compared to other
major brands. Don’t believe me? Go ahead and compare it for yourself.
I used Silver Thread before I began guiding and I will always use Silver
Thread because it performs.
At Silver Thread, we continually strive to push the
envelope. In 1985, we introduced copolymer fishing line to the world.
Copolymer fishing lines set the standard for abrasion resistance, small
diameter, great knot strength and superior casting that common monofilaments
just can not measure up to. What makes copolymer fishing line special?
The copolymerization process. Combining several nylon monomers creates
a stronger, more stable fishing line with a smaller diameter. Over the
years, several new formulas have been introduced. Our technology and
the drive to produce the best possible products set us apart from the
competition. Please enjoy your time on the water, and make Silver Thread
the choice for each of your fishing experiences.
Shimano reels have been my choice long before I ever
choose a career in fishing. It’s very simple; Shimano reels perform
day after day and take abuse that fishing in the grass delivers. At Mildrilla
Fishing we use Shimano reels because they perform and last longer than
any other reel on the market. Serious fishermen choose Shimano!

9-16-2008 I haven’t had much time to report lately but the fishing has been awesome on Lake Guntersville. Every day last week clients put fish after fish in the boat and there were a few days were it actually got ridiculous how well the fish were biting. It didn’t seem to matter where you stopped and fished. The lowest number total for a day last week was 35 fish and the highest somewhere around 110 per day. Most of the fish range from 12 inches up to 3.5 pounds. This week, I wasn’t sure what this cold front was going to do to the bite. So far, I would say it hasn’t affected it at all. Monday my client and I landed about 35 fish with a good many keepers and today the fishing was fantastic again. Clients boated over 80 fish on topwater plugs like the Heddon Spook.
8-8-2008 Today
was the third and final day fishing with John and his son
Nate. Both of them had many first times on this three dayadventure.
Both of them caught their biggest bass ever, their most bass
in a day, and had their first double & even a triple.
They also got tosee amonster grass carp up close and personal
as it splashed water over into the boat. Oh, yeah….
John even got a hook inhis hand that I got to snatch out.
As I reported on Tuesday they landed over 30 fish but no
big ones, Wednesday was much better as they caught 37 fish
and this time the good ones 
made it to the boat. Thursday
unfortanelty was cut short two hours due to the storms rolling
across North Alabama but not before we landed 40+ fish. Three
days of fishing there was over 100 fish caught on Yum 10” ribbontail
worms, Xcalibur Zell Pops, and Booyah jigs fished around
grass in 3-12ft of water.
