First up we have Peter John Cole reporting in from the Cahaba River. Peter reports that fishing is hot despite the low, clear water conditions on the Cahaba River, particularly in Bibb and Shelby counties. The topwater bite is still strong, with the Ribbit Rhol and double-barrel poppers being effective. He highlights the challenge of fishing in low water and emphasizes the importance of adjusting presentation to suit the conditions. Right now, Peter recommends fishing with smaller topwater flies, like the No. 4 Ribbit Rhol, to catch bigger Alabama bass in this clear water. Anglers can expect fish to be concentrated around shoals where oxygen levels are higher. Additionally, Peter shares some tips on reading the water and using slower, less aggressive approaches when necessary to entice fish.
Next up we have Dip McMillan from the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Dip discusses an upcoming squirrel hunt event on the Upper Delta WMA, focusing on getting kids involved in small-game hunting. Scheduled for December 7th at Hubbard’s Landing, the event will offer gun safety instruction, hunting with dogs, free food, and camaraderie. Dip also provides a brief fishing update for the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, noting that the crappie are moving into their fall pattern, with good bites reported in 6-10 feet of water on structure. He suggests targeting crappie using minnows and jigs, particularly as the fish are becoming more aggressive ahead of the colder months.
