How far of a drive you want to make to fish.
No more than an hour or two
Coosa River lakes.
Hello Sir. Oak Mt is dry.
I would try Lake Guntersville or Lake Martin.
Good luck!
Weiss, Neely-Henry, Logan martin all within 2hrs of b'ham.
A friend of mine slays slabs at a place called lake purdy.
You hit me up with a pm I can take you out here on Neely henry.
Are you Sure Oak Mtn. is dry?Quote:

Lake Purdy was extremely dry due to the drought we faced, and the people that I know that fish there are reporting very slow bites. Nothing really. So these slabs he is talking about, they must be locals that know where to go. But a newcomer it will be difficult. Just my take on it.
I'm in Hoover so I just named the spots that we go to and with great results. Guntersville/Weiss are the best.
And is he night fishing or day fishing or both?
I think he has recently been night fishing.he grew up and still lives right down the road from it.ive never been there so I know nothing about it.i just see the pics he post.who knows. Lol
logan martin would be your best bet! Launch at Lakeside Landing or town and country and you'll be in crappie land. Theres even a cheap Motel just a few minutes before the launch area that a lot of fisherman stay at. Only about 45 mins to BHAM.
Any where on the coosa chain is great!!!
Thanks for the info gents I would probably try day and night fishing. From what I heard oak man is only good from a boat. Jiggah I technically come to Hoover when I am down that way. Is there any state bans on hydro Glow fishing lights. If you ever want to know if a lake is dry take one of those lights and go night fishing. You won't have to hunt the fish. If they are there then they will come to you and the light.
We use the green lights all the time with no issues. A lot of people do. Visit the game and fish website for rules. I don't think so? I know there is a 30 catch limit and size 10 inch to keep .. ? I'll check hold on.

Thanks guys
Ok guys I have to ask how do you catch fish around these lights. I have a friend who has a light on his dock and me and my daughter have fished it for hours and not caught any fish. We have backed off and fished out side the light area and thrown everything in the boat at them. Now we did not have any live minnows. Suggestions?
Use minnows.
