On This Episode

First up this week we have Stephen Rockarts with Fly Fishing Alabama reporting in from the Cahaba River. Stephen has been having a great year of fishing, despite an unusually wet start followed by a bit of a drought. Join us this week as we talk about Cahaba River navigability, how water clarity impacts fishing conditions, and how to keep your fly line from turning into a hot mess under your feet. Stick

Next we have Alex Davis “The Spinnerbait Kid” reporting in from Lake Guntersville on the Tennessee River. Summertime often means capitalizing on the offshore ledge bite to find success, but for anglers who would rather fish shallow, Alex brings great news: “Grass makes bass.” Alex reports that right now fish are to be found on the edges of Guntersville’s plentiful grass, chasing bluegill, shad, and other food seeking refuge.

Wrapping things up we have Ande Whitten making his first appearance on the show. Ande is a smallmouth guide based off of the Tennessee River outside of Florence. Join us as we talk about how a childhood spent “creek fishing” progressed into an obsession with wading for Tennessee River smallies. We talk about the blessings of having a wife who fishes, the joys of putting somebody on a “bucket list” fish, and the indisputable superiority of purple bass worms (or wooly buggers).
