Glad to see you on the board. I live in the Saraland area and fish all year. We were catching some decent numbers of fish from the Shepard's Lake area before Saturdays deluge. Pre fished a bass tournament in Joes Crib on Friday and seen several good perch caught. Could not get one to hit a jig but the guys with minnows did ok. Chippawaw has been good with a black beatle spin. Can't wait till the water gets down to get up on the Tomm. May be June before decent water now. A liitle tip to try if you haven't already. Add some food color to your minnow bucket to get the water slightly Orange. After about 30 minutes the moinnows will develope a Orange tint to them. Fished beside my father last year with my minnows in the tinted water and his normal. Out caught him 3 to 1. good luck.
