First thing in the morning we met up with a chase boat and off we went! Making a bit of a run through all kinds of crazy stuff, the boat itself only amplifies the guide’s boating skills.  When we got into a stump field, Jake handed us a couple of Duckett rods, one with a Tightline Gunterville Special jig, the other with a scrounger. We worked those baits hard for a little bit with no luck, the chase boat however got a couple on creature baits. The day went on like this for a little while, but Jake never gave up, he kept trying new and different patterns to find out what was going on with the bass. The best thing about the day though is this; even though we had difficulty getting on them, it really didn’t matter, Jake just keeps the confidence going.

Later in the day we hooked up on a few good fish, all within rather rapid succession even. Once we got back up toward the marina we got a few, one on an Excalibur XR50, two on the Tight Line jig. We even boated an epic 7.55lb Largie male, not too often you see males get that big! The 7 pounder was an excellent way to end a tough day out on the water. Even though it was a tough day being able to use the Duckett rods that Jake has on deck made a big difference, especially when trying to coax a bass into the boat. If you ever want to get down to Alabama and hit Guntersville you want the hardest working guide out there, Jake Davis.

Just wanted to give a little shout out to Captain Jake Davis from Mid South Bass Guide. I had the pleasure of fishing this weekend on Nickajack with these guys. The weather was horrible but we did catch some good ones. Their equipment is top notch, they know the water and are pretty dang good fisherman too. Above all they will bend over backwards to make sure you have a good time and enjoy your day on the water. Thanks guys!

I would highly recommend this outfit if you are planning a trip to Tennessee.

In the last six months, I have used Jakes'  services multiple times and, as an avid fisherman, know when fishing is easy or tough. Every time we have gone out, it has been tough.  However, Jake has been determined to locate the fish for me and he has always come through. I have nothing but high praise for him and the effort he puts into finding fish. As a retired veteran, with a strong military background, Jake uses that discipline to seek out and find fish. He goes out of his way to ensure that I have had as successful a trip as possible. I have gone out with other guides before and they have never put out the effort he does. i would go as far as to personally guarantee that, if there are fish to be caught, he will find them!

From Bill my client above:
Thanks Jake for a great trip under rough conditions. You know when you have whitecaps in a slough about 80 feet wide it is tough. At times I was fatigued due to trying to keep my balance while the boat rocked. I have been in calmer waters in the Gulf of Mexico 50 miles out - LOL! Jake is really equipped for just about anything for you guys wanting to test him out. He has a boat load of quality equipment and is really a hard working fisherman for fishermen! He has the new rods with the microguides and I have never used one before but I will say they are impressive on casting distance. One time with a big swimbait I almost dumped the reel with my cast!

24-26 Sept 2010 - Lake Guntersville

Sorry about the late post but been busy back at work. Buddy and myself recently made our 1st trip to the big "G" and had a great time. Stayed at the BW(formerly Holiday Inn) so we mainly fished the lower end. Caught fish (2-3 lber's) every day on topwater (buzz baits,frogs,plastics). Tried up Brown's Creek but the wind was really kicking up and not being familiar with the area led us to not being successful in finding any fish. Saw fish busting shad in the cove before the State Park and threw everything we could think of but could not get the bigger one's to hit. At the last moment we were able to book MSBG Jake for our last afternoon there and although the fishing was tough, he gave us tons of info and tips on how and where to fish the lake. Tried out some of his ideas the next morning before heading home and was pretty successful even though we missed several fish ( still learning how to set the hook on the flukes,lol ). Can't wait to come back in the Spring and hook up with Jake again. I would recommend him to anyone wanting info on the lake and had a great time with him.
