On Friday ( 2-6-09) I had the opportunity to take a day
off work and go fishing on Lake Guntersville. Thanks to a
friend of mine that lived in Guntersville at one time and
knew alot of people in the area. I was directed to contact
Bird Holland. It is the best thing I have ever done in
my short fishing career. I have always been a bank fisherman
for bass. This trip with Bird Holland taught me a lot about
fishing humps, road beds and other structures away from the
banks. Not only did I learn a great deal about where to
fish, I also learned a little more about how to enjoy a day
of fishing. From the start of our early morning day on the
lake, Bird made me feel really comfortable about what he had
planned for the day. I first thought I would be intimidated
fishing with a guide, Someone who wouldn't have patience
with someone like me. I have new reels and had not gotten to
used to them when I had our trip set up. Bird was so
understanding about the whole situation. After wasting a few
minutes getting the bird's nests out of my reels and
trolling over water without my lure doing anything, Bird
calmed me down and let me know everything was going to be
okay. Bird got me relaxed and I started to cast where he
told me to and it was like it was meant to be. I got a hit
at probably 3 out of every 5 casts. I have never been with
anyone that uses a GPS system until this trip. Bird knew
exactly where the fish were suspended on certain drop offs
and it paid off. I could go on about the trip, but I'll end
it with this... I caught 2 bass that weighed close to 3
pounds , one bass that weighed 6 pounds and a monster for me
that weighed 7 pounds. When I got a letter from Bird Holland
yesterday saying he had started a website for his guide
service and asked me to contribute information about my trip
(good or bad), I couldn't wait to share my experience that
day. I can't wait to go back, especially when the grass
fishing gets good at Guntersville. Just from our talking, I
know that he can get me to where they are in the grass. I
recommend anyone that wants a guide that knows this lake and
has knowledge of the lake (even when I went) "cool weather"
call Bird Holland. I just hope you do not schedule the day I
want to go.
Thanks Bird for a great trip and I will tell every friend I
have about the trip.

Recently a friend and I took a
fishing trip with Bird. We had a wonderful time, and
Bird taught us techniques and lots of good ol' tricks he had for
catching bass on Guntersville. He makes it look easy. Although
if you are a die-hard bass fisherman like me, you know that it's
definitely not easy most of the time. I had always wanted to go
fishing at Guntersville ever since I first saw it on tv. So I
booked a trip with Bird.
Don't go to Guntersville expecting to have a KVD type of
day when you really know nothing about the lake. Bird can
provide you the trip of a lifetime. Not only will you catch
fish, you'll get to spend the day with a super good guy. Even
if you're not the greatest angler since KVD, you will get the
same feeling he gets about Guntersville when you go with Bird.
So if you are like me, all you need to do is give Bird a call
and book a fishing trip with him.
Lastly, I would like to personally thank Mr. Bird Holland
for providing me with a fishing day that I soon won't forget. I
promise you one thing, my friend and I will be coming back.
Life is too short to not have more than one unforgettable day of
fishing.
Thanks Again Bird,

Had the
great pleasure of spending the day with " Bird Holland" bass
fishing on Guntersville lake, and it's a trip I will never
forget! A friend and I had always wanted to fish
Guntersville so we made the 400 mile trip from Kentucky
after booking April 16th with Bird. The weather had been
really bad in this area for awhile and the water temp. was
not where it should have been but Bird knew what to do and
put us on fish early in the day. He showed us a lot of
different ways to catch them from points, humps, ripping
rattletraps thru the grass, jerk baits, flats and believe me
we caught fish all day long! Bird has fished the lake for
over 30 years and there's no doubt he knows what he's doing,
plus he's just a good ole country boy doing what he loves to
do. So at the end of our day we caught over 40 fish, and the
biggest was 8# so if you really like to catch fish "Bird" is
the man to call, believe me I'll be back next year!
Thanks Bird,
