On This Episode

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.
