Does anyone know of a stocked pond with Crappie in it around Shelby County? Lay Lake is done. Too hard to fish off the Piers when kids are jumping in the water. I think Lay Lake is over for me ...
I'm looking for a stocked pond or stocked lake.
I tried Bibb County Lake and that wasn't good.

Cooters Pond, Jackson Lake, Walter Bouldin Dam or across the bridge from the park in Wetumpka? These were all places suggested to me. I'm near Millbrook but I don't know much about fishing lol
Thanks for the reply. Well, I know in Montgomery there is a spot called, Pirtle's Puddle for $3 fish all day, but it's fished out. I know the owner.Quote:

There used to be a place in Prattvile (Autauga County) somewhere that you could pay $4 and they had nice clean ponds you could fish that were stocked.
I used to fly model airplanes at Doc Pirtle's. What about the Coosa River? Jackson Lake in Millbrook right across the toll bridge is $3 a day they filmed Big Fish there. I don't have a boat either lol Wife's family has a pond but I'm not allowed to bring guests.
I hope cross posting an article is okay. If not I'm sorry. Here's an article fishing Jordan Dam and southward.

I'm not a fly fisherman but it seems like a load of fun! Good luck!!
Maybe we could team up sometime and go try Jackson Lake. I'm Brian BTW. Inbox me if interested.
I have access to several farm ponds in central Alabama that are loaded with huge bass, big Bluegills and giant coppernose bluegills. One huge pond has lots of crappie in it too. If you want to go... simply PM me and we will make it happen. Come on fall...
I just now saw this!! Sorry!! I'm in Calera, AL. How far are we from each other?
I fished Cooters pond as a kid but don't recall a pier or if it had a decent bank, but the crappie fishing was good. I am going back to the 80s.... Would love to know how it is now.
If you have a boat, Pintlala Creek was good - just have to battle the snakes
Yeah, I haven't been able to go back to Cooter's Pond since the passing of my grandfather in 96. We always went out on his boat. I'm trying to meet someone with a boat so we can go. I fish off a Pier at Lay Lake, but the water in only like 5ft deep. I just always use minnows when I go.
I fish in around 10 well stocked ponds. The fishing is real good, or I would be going somewhere else. Message sent...
Have you tried the Clay County public lakes?
Clay County Public Fishing Lake | Outdoor Alabama
Unrelated, but my dad used to take my brother and I to fish hatchet creek in Clay County for good success back in the early 80s. I've read recently the fishing is no longer very good.
