Lonnie Cochran's Guntersville Guide Service fishes four Tennessee Valley and Coosa Chain lakes — Guntersville, Chickamauga, Smith, and Logan Martin — with shallow and deep presentations depending on conditions. The service publishes tournament prefishing as a dedicated offering for anglers prepping for a specific event on one of those lakes, which is less common in the guide market and directly useful for co-anglers and club-level competitors working toward a Bass Trail or BFL date. Cochran runs with active sponsor relationships including Phoenix Bass Boats, Mercury Marine, Humminbird, Freedom Marine Center, Abu Garcia, Berkley, Scottsboro Tackle Company, and Picasso Outdoors. Multiple guides are on staff to accommodate larger bookings and multi-boat days. Trip rates and current availability live on the rates page; call 256-244-5106 or book directly through the website to lock dates before they fill.
