John Maner's Guntersville Guide Service — Local services in Guntersville

My wife booked a trip with John Maner’s Guntersville Guide Service as a Father’s Day gift, and it was hands-down one of the best fishing experiences I’ve ever had! John is an exceptional guide who truly goes above and beyond. I wanted to learn more about bass fishing and how to use my electronics/fishing graphs, and John took the time to patiently teach me, breaking everything down in a way that was easy to understand. His expertise, passion, and dedication made the day unforgettable. If you’re looking for a top-notch guide on Guntersville, John is your guy!...

I fished 3 days in a row with John at  Guntersville. He takes pride in the craft of guiding. He is a first rate, full-time professional guide, not just a retiree/weekender, or a tournament pro who guides a little. We fished all over the lake, with a variety of techniques, adjusted hourly for conditions, and targeted offshore structure which was obviously found over years of experience.  If you want to improve your bass fishing skills, John is a great teacher. If you simply want to catch fish, John can flat out find  'em. Book...

First catch EVER for me happened with John. I'd never been bass fishing so I was a little nervous. John's knowledge and expertise, along with his easy-going style and confidence, made my experience the best possible. He knows how to fish and was so patient with a novice like me. The best, maybe best, part was after a few guided casts, I pulled in a 6 pounder, or helped pull it in. I was grateful it didn't take me in with the pole. I'm sure John would have handled that just fine, too. He is a GREAT guide...
