Smallmouth Bass Fishing Guide on the Tennessee River
Get ready to battle some of the most powerful, hard-fighting freshwater fish in the country on the legendary Tennessee River in North Alabama. Flowing through Florence and Muscle Shoals, this region is one of the southernmost fisheries in the United States that produces true trophy smallmouth. Pickwick Lake especially is renowned in the bass fishing realm as a world-class smallmouth fishery, where fish over 5 pounds are common and a fish over 6 pounds is a reasonable hope on every single trip!
Fish The Shoals Guide Service specializes in putting you on the biggest smallmouth in the river. We generally target these bronze beauties with live bait, as it provides more consistent trophy catches and is an easier technique for young or inexperienced anglers to enjoy successfully. However, we can absolutely use artificial lures if that is desired; under certain circumstances, it can even be the more productive option.
Our live bait setup relies on medium-weight Daiwa spinning tackle paired with Daiwa J-Braid to ensure a healthy balance of sensitivity, sporting fight, and reliable landings. Whether you’re fishing for a personal best, looking for a high-action day with the family, or planning a business trip with clients, our packages are built for an unforgettable river adventure.
