Have you tried Bibb county lake? I fished there years ago.

Don't let what you read or hear others are doing get you discouraged. Every area or body of water is different and depending on who is doing the reporting they may just be trying to sell bait. The thing to pay attention to is what you see around you. If you don't see others fishing there's probably a good reason. Down here on the coast every one is always catching fish according to the bait dealers.

Hope so, I'm going to try to go Monday.

Well, this is an interesting story to tell you armyman ..... check this crap out!

Ok, so I went to the lake again yesterday on my off day. I fished from 11am all the way to 5pm - not one Crappie! I only had Bream stealing my minnows. Ok, so these two men ride by BASS fishing. They were having a BASS Tournament. So they asked was I getting a bite and I replied, "no sir". He said, "well, heck, might as well leave because we haven't gotten a bite yet and been here 3 hours!" So, doing the right thing mind you ... I said, "well, there is this BASS that keeps feeding over here by me to the left of me." So they proceeded to troll slowly over to my left side and threw a Lizard the very first cast. And guess what they caught?! A freakin 10 lb BASS! They guy was shaking and his partner almost lost it with the net. So he holds it up in the air, yelling to everyone and taking pictures of it and he even said wow this is the biggest BASS I've ever caught! His buddy said they were going to win the Tournament.

So, I'm just watching and waiting ... watching and waiting ... get this - the guy didn't even thank me. That really bothered me. They just drove off into the sunset.

So this other couple rolls up on me and ask me if I'm getting any bites and I told them what just happened and they were livid! The woman asked me if they offered me any money or even said thank you, and of course I replied, "no."

Sorry, I just had to tell someone. I think that was just wrong of them in my fishing book. People just aren't friendly anymore.

This is on their website. They post photos of people and their catch, and what they're using and so forth. Just go take a look at their site. And I know people who go there and they are reporting good. I've been fishing Lay Lake this entire month and even the people in the boat say nothing is biting.

Hey, jem. Nope. Never. I grew up trolling with rattle-traps (Smoky Joe is the best!) Jackson's Lake, Alabama River and Cooter's Pond with my grandfather in his Bass Tracker. After he passed away with a stroke, I haven't been able to get back out with anyone with a boat. He gave it to me but my uncle took it and just let it sit up and rot. Dam $19,000 boat just rotting. I don't own a truck, so I never tried to purchase one. I mainly try to find local spots that have a non-snaky bank to fish on. Every where I go I can never fish more than 6 ft deep. That's why I keep begging people for a boat ride. I'm going to save up some $ and just rent a boat at Lake Purdy later.
