About Captain Shane Ellis

Shane Ellis grew up in Gadsden, Alabama, fishing the waters of Lake Guntersville from a young age. Spending countless days on the lake throughout his childhood, he developed a deep familiarity with every stretch of shoreline, creek channel, grass bed, and contour line that makes Guntersville one of the most famous bass lakes in the country.

Over 25+ years he built an impressive track record, winning over 50 bass tournaments and logging more than 10,000 hours studying the patterns, structure, and seasonal movements of bass on Lake Guntersville and the surrounding Alabama lakes.

Shane is USCG licensed and insured, and holds degrees in Physical Therapy and Biology from the University of Alabama in Huntsville. He lives in Boaz, Alabama with his wife Gala.
