Who he is on the water
Shane Ellis runs his guide service out of Arab and fishes four North Alabama lakes — Guntersville, Weiss, Neely Henry, and Logan Martin — with Guntersville as the anchor. He's a USCG-licensed and insured captain fishing out of a 2025 Phoenix 921 Elite, a 21-foot, 6-inch bass boat rigged for two anglers up front and gear included. His site publishes four-hour and six-hour trips plus classes covering boat electronics and hot-spot location. According to his own page he has won over 50 North Alabama tournaments and logged more than 10,000 hours on these lakes. Office hours are 7 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday. All rods, reels, tackle, bait, and fuel are provided; anglers bring personal gear, snacks, and an Alabama fishing license. Call 256-744-5185 to confirm dates and current rates before booking.
