    This week we sit down with Andre Davis, from Hoover, AL. Andre is here this week to talk about backcountry fishing, something that may not be familiar to a lot of our listeners. He emphasizes the joy of exploration and connecting with nature, even when the fishing may not be ideal, as the experience and scenery often make up for it. Andre also talks about hiking in with minimalist fishing gear, and offers a few tips on hammock camping. He also offers advice on how to find public lands for camping and fishing and discusses the importance of planning ahead and staying safe.

    Next, we hear from Steve Graziano (Graz’s Guide Service) about Lake Eufaula. Graz reports that the recent cool weather has lowered water temperatures, which has triggered a stronger bite. While the lake levels remain relatively high due to dam work at West Point, the fall transition is beginning, and the topwater bite is heating up. Graz mentions how bass are following baitfish into creeks, with frogs, and walking baits like the Vixen proving effective. He also discusses alternative baits like drop shots, Texas rigs, and tail spinners for targeting both bass and white bass hybrids during this transitional period.

    This week, Nick welcomes Taylor Hara from the Wiregrass region of southeast Alabama. Taylor discusses the impact of drought on water levels, noting that sandy rivers like the Sepulga and Choctawhatchee are difficult to navigate, while rockier streams still have enough flow for fishing. He has been focusing on bream fishing in narrow channels and outside bends, using poppers and beetle spins with success. Bass fishing has been slow due to heat, but is improving as the water cools, with topwater and spinnerbaits starting to produce bites.

    Taylor He recommends micro spinners for bass, especially in darker waters, and talks about his recent encounter with a sturgeon in the Choctawhatchee River. The episode wraps up with a shout-out to the efforts of the Choctawhatchee Riverkeepers for protecting local water quality.

    In the second segment, Nick is joined by Will Strickland, Executive Director of Mobile Baykeeper. Will discusses Mobile Baykeeper’s ongoing efforts to address issues like dredge material dumping, which harms vital habitats for fish and oysters. He also highlights a partnership with Backcountry Hunters & Anglers for a cleanup project targeting the Ghost Fleet area in the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, where illegal dumping has been a problem.

    Will shares his personal connection to Alabama's waters, recounting memories of fishing and hunting with his grandfathers and their deep respect for conservation. He emphasizes the importance of community involvement in environmental protection, noting that each generation has a responsibility to preserve natural resources. Will encourages listeners to stay informed about water quality, fish consumption advisories, and to advocate for stricter regulations on toxins entering Alabama's waterways.

  • The Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report is your best resource for the Lake Guntersville Fishing Report, Weiss Lake Fishing Report, Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, Mobile Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, and all the creeks, rivers, and reservoirs in between.

    Dip McMillan kicks off this week's report with a recap of a successful fishing tournament held at Hubbard’s Landing, where they saw a fantastic turnout with 156 kids and 29 boats in the adult division. Every child walked away with a prize, and the event was a massive success, thanks to the support of the community and sponsors. Dip also shares his recent win at a crappie tournament at Banks Lake. Despite tough conditions, he made a strategic change in tactics by using a cork with a minnow, which led to a series of big crappie catches and ultimately secured his victory. Dip predicts that as temperatures drop in mid to late September, the fishing will improve significantly, particularly for crappie. He also mentions his plans for next year's tournament, with sponsors already lining up to support the event.

    Peter Jordan of Lost Angler Fly Shop discusses the current fishing conditions on the Delta. Despite the hot weather and drought, Peter highlights some unique fly fishing opportunities, including targeting native species like buffalo carp and bowfin. He explains that while bass might be seeking cooler, deeper waters, species like carp and gar are still active and can provide an exciting challenge for fly anglers. Peter also talks about the upcoming Labor Day weekend and the importance of preserving the creeks and rivers for everyone to enjoy. He encourages anglers to explore the Blackwater creeks, which will soon be less crowded, offering a great chance for wade fishing.

    Drew Morgan from East Alabama Fly Fishing shares his insights on the challenging conditions on the Tallapoosa River due to low water levels and clear water, which makes fish more skittish. However, he notes that wade fishing can be particularly rewarding this time of year. As fall approaches, Drew anticipates better fishing conditions with the cooling weather and the potential for increased water flow from upstream reservoirs. He suggests trying out different fly patterns and colors as fish become more active. Drew also mentions that fall is a great time for fishing trips, with more availability due to fewer people fishing and more focus on hunting season.

  • The Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report is your best resource for the Lake Guntersville Fishing Report, Weiss Lake Fishing Report, Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, Mobile Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, and all the creeks, rivers, and reservoirs in between.

    Cahaba River Report: Steven Rockarts joins from Central Alabama, noting cooler mornings and the excitement of fall approaching. He discusses how the current drought has led to low water levels, making fishing more challenging but rewarding when finding deeper pools. Topwater action has picked up significantly, and Steven emphasizes the importance of observing bass behavior in clear, low-water conditions, which can reveal patterns and improve fishing strategy.

    Lake Eufaula Crappie Report: Tony Adams talks about the challenges of summer crappie fishing on Lake Eufaula, where high temperatures and an abundance of shad make it harder to get bites. Despite this, Tony has been successful using a combination of minnows, jigs, and spoons. He describes his technique of fishing deep near brush piles and emphasizes the importance of adjusting tactics to the crappie's less aggressive summer behavior. Tony also mentions dealing with mayfly hatches, which can complicate crappie fishing but can be countered with the right bait, like the Bobby Garland mayfly color.

    Mobile Tensaw Delta Report: Captain Wayne Miller highlights the excellent fishing conditions in the Mobile Tensaw Delta, thanks to the migration of shrimp and clear water. This migration has brought a variety of species, including bass, redfish, and Jack Crevalle. Wayne explains his preference for fishing the main rivers during this time, using a mix of live bait, shrimp imitation baits like DOA and Voodoo, and soft plastics. He also advises anglers to be cautious when navigating the Delta's shallow waters, especially during low tide and strong north winds, which can create challenging conditions.

    Alex Davis reports that despite the heat, there are promising signs of activity at Lake Guntersville. The water temperature is around 86°F, and recent cool nights have led to the first schooling activity of the year. Most schooling fish are smaller, around 14-15 inches, and they are feeding on tiny shad, making small lures like rooster tails and small swim baits effective. Deeper grass lines are also producing fish, especially with techniques like speed worm fishing in the early morning and evening. Punching through vegetation has started to yield results, with fewer bites but better quality fish. Alex emphasizes the importance of using the right gear and technique when punching, including a heavy rod and braid, and getting the fish moving quickly after the hook set.

    Steve Graziano reports that fishing on Lake Eufaula is getting tougher as the water temperature reaches 91°F. The baitfish are breaking up into smaller schools, which has changed how bass are positioning themselves. While moving baits like crankbaits aren't as effective, anglers are still finding success with drop shots, Carolina rigs, and jigs. As we move into late September and October, cooler water temperatures should improve the fishing, particularly with an increase in topwater action and shallow bites.

    Andrew Monahan from Backcountry Hunters and Anglers (BCHA) discusses the importance of maintaining public land and water access in Alabama. BCHA focuses on grassroots efforts like trash cleanups to keep these areas accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Andrew highlights the need for continued awareness and activism to protect public lands from being lost or restricted due to misuse or development. He also encourages those interested in conservation to get involved with BCHA and other local efforts to preserve Alabama's natural resources. Those interested can reach out to the Southeast Chapter of BCHA at [email protected].

  • In this episode of the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report, we dive into the fascinating world of the Gulf Sturgeon with our special guest, Dr. R. Scot Duncan. Raised on the shores of Pensacola Bay in Gulf Breeze, FL, he holds a PhD in Zoology from the University of Florida. His extensive research has taken him from the mangroves of Costa Rica to the forests of Uganda, focusing on restoration ecology. Scot has served as a professor at Birmingham-Southern College for two decades, and is now the Executive Director of Alabama Audubon. His book, Southern Wonder: Alabama's Surprising Biodiversity, is regarded as one of the best environmental books ever written about Alabama, and is used by the Alabama Cooperative Extension System as a textbook for the Alabama Master Naturalist Program.

    In his most recent book, Southern Rivers: Restoring America’s Freshwater Biodiversity, Scot celebrates the extraordinary biodiversity of southeastern rivers, highlighting their unique species and ecosystems. Through vivid storytelling, the book explores the critical importance of these waterways and offers insights into how we can prevent further extinctions amid increasing water demand and decreasing supply. Dr. Duncan provides a compelling narrative that underscores the urgency of conserving freshwater habitats to ensure the survival of America's diverse aquatic life. Key to that narrative is the Gulf Sturgeon, a fascinating gentle giant that can grow up to nine feet in length and weigh over 300 lbs. Once widespread and plentiful throughout Alabama’s rivers, today the species is under protection from the Endangered Species Act.

    Join us as Scot walks us through the history of the species’ interactions with humans. Learn how sturgeon sustained the pilgrims of Plymouth, how it played a key role in making the Gulf states a powerhouse in the international seafood industry, and how it helped to keep Alabama’s rivers clear and clean. We’ll discuss the factors that caused the decline in sturgeon numbers, the knock-on effects of that decline, and what Scot hopes can be done to restore the species’ population and the health of our rivers.

    Assisting us with the conversation this week is Rowell Guivarra. Rowel is a well-respected fly fishing guide who operates on the Tallapoosa River, as well as the Chair of the Alabama Chapter of the Native Fish Coalition. In addition to the work he does with NFC to support aquatic biodiversity in the state, he is also actively involved in Project OARS, the Mayfly Project, and Project Healing Waters. Rowell understands better than most how the health of Alabama’s riverine species is a vital factor in the physical, mental, and spiritual health of its citizens, and we’re delighted to have him co hosting this week.

    It’s hot and getting hotter, so this week we’re here with Andre Davis to talk about a surefire way to beat the heat: cooling your toes in the Cahaba and Black Warrior tributaries. Andre has been hammering bass and panfish on topwater flies, and is here this week to give us the secrets on going toe-to-fin with tributary fish. Join us as we talk wading tips, “run-n-gun” fishing strategies,and fly fishing lessons.

    If wading isn’t your game, Eric Cagle is here to talk to us this week about deep water summer crappie. What to do when still, hot water and heavy fishing pressure puts a hurt on your fishing?

    Get up early and fish deeper, according to Eric, or try your hand at night fishing with lights. This week Eric gives us a deep dive on a tactic that is common with those who “know what’s up” around Lake Martin, night fishing dock lights or with specialty submersible lights. Stick around as Eric shares his thoughts on the (lack of) importance of color in crappie jigs, the importance of realizing when you’re wasting time on lock-jawed schools, jigs vs minnows, and the differences between the Coosa/Tallapoosa reservoirs and the Big 4 Mississippi Lakes.

    This week we’re sitting down with two extremely accomplished anglers to talk about something on every freshwater angler’s mind–big bass.

    First up we have Steve Graziano from Lake Eufaula on the Chattahoochee River. Steve has caught his fair share of bass and then some over the decades he’s been guiding and fishing pro, and this week he’s here to share where he finds big bass and how he fishes for them as summer bears down on the Southeastern US.

    Next we have Peter Jordan, a ferocious bass chaser who grew up on the Alabama River and now chases bass in the tidal waters around Mobile Bay. Peter is on this week to talk about what conditions allow bass to get big, what behavior traits separate big bass from smaller ones, which times of year are best to catch bass, and the importance of being realistic about what a “big” bass is in your local water.

    If you’ve never explored the shoals in central Alabama that are home to the world-famous Cahaba Lilies, there’s no time like the present. In celebration of these otherworldly-looking flowers, we’re sitting down with two guests this week that live in the heart of Cahaba Lily country.

    First up, we have Peter John Cole reporting in from the Cahaba. Peter reports that the topwater game is on in his neck of the woods and that the 2024 Cahaba Lily Fest had a great turnout with the lilies in full bloom.

    Next we have Sandra Fuller with Lake Martin Tallapoosa County Tourism, who is here to talk about the upcoming Tallapoosa River Fest. This is the third year her organization has put on a group float on the Harold Banks Canoe trail from Horseshoe Bend to Jaybird, and this year the event has grown to include camping and a festival with live music, vendors, and food trucks. If you’re looking for an easy but fun float with great scenery and a shot at some great fishing, you won’t want to miss this event.

    Finally, we have Dip McMillian reporting in from the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Dip was joined by ATX Lure Co.’s Kyle Reeves last weekend at Boutwell’s Bait and Tackle for a Crappie Seminar that has grown tremendously since its inception. Join us to hear where they found the crappie after the event, and stick around to hear Dip’s thoughts on the upcoming summer patterns on the delta and lower Tombigbee and Alabama systems.

    We’ve got exciting reports this week coming in from all over the state of Alabama this week.

    First up we have Taylor Hara reporting in from the Wiregrass Region around Dothan, AL. Taylor has been catching Choctaw Bass, Largemouth Bass, and sunfish that are moving up into the small rivers and tributaries that lace Southeastern Alabama. Tune in to learn about Taylor’s skinny-water secret: an inflatable stand-up paddleboard.

    Next we have Adam Hudson, CEO of Blue Line Co. and avid smallmouth bass angler. “Smallies” are starting to move off of the main river into the tributaries, making them easy targets for fly fishermen. Join us this week as Adam talks about some of his favorite flies for smallmouth, as well as fishing tips for gar, Rock Bass, and other Tennessee River System species.

    Finally, rounding out this week’s report we have Jason Throneberry, who serves as the Director of Freshwater Programs for The Nature Conservancy in Alabama. Tune in to hear Jason discuss the innovative bypass channels designed to aid the migration of sturgeon and gulf strain striped bass, providing insights into the development and challenges of this project. He also highlights the significant preservation of 8,000 acres in Clarke County and shares how this effort fits into TNC’s broader conservation strategy. Additionally, Jason reflects on his personal journey as an outdoorsman, revealing how his experiences have shaped his dedication to conservation. Join us for an in-depth conversation on the future of Alabama's freshwater ecosystems and how we can all contribute to their protection.

    Spring is transitioning to summer in Alabama, and the fishing action continues to heat up throughout the state.

    This week reporting in from Lake Pickwick on the Tennessee River we have Tracy Humber. Crappie are in a “slump” right now according to Tracy, who has turned his attention towards bluegill and shellcracker while he waits for the slabs to begin stacking on deep water summertime structure. Join us as we talk bluegill beds, dropshotting for bluegill, strategies for big bluegill, and filleting vs whole-frying these delicious and feisty panfish.

    Coming in from the other end of the state we have Peter Jordan, who owns the Lost Angler Fly Shop. Peter has been beating the heat by turning to the numerous blackwater streams that lace the the Gulf Coast, and this week he offers tips on how to target feisty Spotted Bass on fly and conventional tackle. We talk wading boots, fly tying, bowfin, and a little inshore fishing. For newcomers or vacationers to the Mobile Bay area, the causeway offers a unique opportunity to go “bass fishing” for specks, redfish, and flounder if the conditions are right.

    The cold nights seem to be fading away as summer fast approaches, and the fishing in Alabama’s rivers and streams is as good as it gets right now.

    This week we’re joined by Stephen Rockarts with Fly Fishing Alabama. If you’ve never caught the Cahaba Lilies in full bloom and pulled Alabama and Cahaba Bass from the shoals, you’ll want to tune in this week for good intel to plan your new favorite trip around.

    Next up we have Andre Davis reporting in from Central Alabama. Andre is reporting tremendous numbers of hungry panfish and bass in the streamways in his section of the state, and reminds us this week that now is the perfect time to experiment with new baits and build confidence in them.

    Finally, we have Justin Michael Dunnam down on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, reporting on an exciting new collaboration between Mobtown Kayak Bass Fishing and Bassmasters.
