Recently I was traveling from Florida across Alabama on my way to the Natchez Trace Parkway. I fished my way across Alabama from the Little River Canyon, DeSoto Falls, and Joe Wheeler State Park. At Guntersville I got blown off the lake by one of the strongest thunderstorms I have ever been in. The wind at one time blowing so hard it almost blew my 12 foot boat across the parking lot. I took a few side trips along the way like the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville. Really enjoyed the fresh water fishing in Alabama. During the trip I caught lots of bass and pan fish but not to many crappie. I was fishing in mid May and the only crappie I could catch were in water over 20 feet deep. I would really appreciate any suggestions on how to improve my crappie catching stats. Below is the video of the trip.
