    I have fished with Tim multiple times now and have had as much enjoyment as possible every time and on several lakes at this point. Tim's knowledge is incredible and he shares it, which has helped me become a better angler when I am out on my boat (which he helped me set up the electronics on). It's always fun and I could never thank him enough. If you are looking for a great trip, with a great guide to spend the day with (zero offense intended at the other guides out there)Tim Chandler is an incredible choice.

    Awesome experience! Between the 4 of us we caught atleast 30+ and today was a slow day.. Mr.Chandler was great to talk to and a very easy going guy. Definitely would recommend, and will be back in the future!

    On one leg on our 2021 fishing journey, we had a stop planned at the legendary Lake Gunthersville in Alabama. This was one lake we really looked forward to fishing. We looked for guides on the web and settled on Tim Chandler's professional guide service. He has a nice new boat, and is personable, with a good knowledge of the lake. That said, on the day he took is out, he was is a difficult mood. The condition of the bass fishing due to tournament pressure was having as much effect on Tim as it was the lake. He seemed genuinely defeated by it all, and didn't put great effort into getting us on fish. He spent a great deal of time on his phone. We fished six hours for 10 bass and one crappie, not a big fish in the bunch. All was not bad! As it turns out Tim is one hell of a food guide. He turned us on to a great place to eat and some wonderful barbeque sauses. He had a thorough knowledge of the area, and was a pleasure to converse with. I would likely give Tim a second chance, but on a different body of water. Tim, with regard to your post on my review. My wife and I are serious and very experienced fisherman. We have fished with many guides. We understand fishing conditions better than most people. We spent our entire time with you fishing two spots. We have small lakes in Wisconsin that we could have bested that outing in just a few hours. You need to get passed the two stars, and read my writing. My review of the experience provided was honest and thoughtful.
