  • Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report for April 29 - May 5, 2024
    May 3 2024

    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.

    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.

  • Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report for April 22-28, 2024
    Apr 26 2024

    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.

    Spring is coming along nicely, with crappie starting to move off of the banks and onto structure across the state. The bass bite is staying strong, and the bluegill are starting to go on bed. It’s a great time to be an angler, and this week we’ve got some great topics lined up.

    First up we have Dip McMillian reporting in from the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. As usual, Dip is on the crappie, seeming to know what they’re going to do even before they know themselves! Dip reports that crappie are scattered now in 8-10 feet of water, and that anglers able to target them can expect to pull in some really big ones. While the springtime limb-line bite is winding down, Dip is also still finding success with big blues and flatheads. Finally, we’re proud to see Dip get some recognition for his skills in the form of a new color offered by ATX Lure Company, the “Dippi Tensaw Special.” If you fish muddy or stained water, be sure to grab a pack the next time you’re in town.

    Stay tuned to hear from former AFFR Host, Brian Senn. Brian has been catching some fish himself lately, and gives a mini-report on the smallmouth fishery up on the Tennessee River. While we’re thrilled to hear a familiar voice back on the show, Brian also brings sad news for the Alabama fishing community. Brandon Watson, accomplished kayak angler and valued AFFR contributor, has recently passed away. Our hearts go out to his family in this difficult time. As a tribute to Brandon, we’re revisiting a segment he recorded with Brian last year in early May. Please join us in remembering a daring and adventurous kayak angler who was always eager to help his fellow fishermen.

    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.

    Spring is coming along nicely, with crappie starting to move off of the banks and onto structure across the state. The bass bite is staying strong, and the bluegill are starting to go on bed. It’s a great time to be an angler, and this week we’ve got some great topics lined up.

    First up we have Tony Adams reporting in from Lake Eufala. Tony has been hammering crappie this spring, despite high and muddy water, and this week he’s here on the show to share some of his secrets for success. While he’s primarily a crappie angler, Tony is also a big fan of jug-fishing for catfish. He’s known for pulling cats out of deep water on jugs, with some of his lines running as deep as 60 feet! Stay tuned to hear how he rigs his jugs, his preferred catfish baits, and how he decides where to set his lines.

    After that, we have Steve Graziano giving us a deep-dive on how to find deep water bluegill beds on side scan sonar. Most anglers think of bluegill as bedding shallow, and will search for beds with polarized lenses or “with their nose,” but big ‘gills often bed in deeper water, and if you can learn to locate these deeper bedding areas you can find some of the hottest fishing late spring and early summer have to offer.
