New guy In AL

Hello fellow AL crappie anglers,

I recently moved to the Huntsville area. I found this forum while trying to do a little research on where to fish around here and it looks like a great forum with quite a few active members. Anyway, I was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction for some of the popular local spots for the crappie spawn. I am also interested in learning the locations of any public fishing docks on wheeler or guntersville where I might be able to find crappie during the rest of the year. Thanks in advance for your help!

Welcome to the site bunch of great guys on here. Locally close to you for a spawning area is limestone bay on wheeler. It is off the Mooresville exit on 565 not to hard to find. Great boat fishing not sure about from the banks though. As far as public fishing dock the only one I can think of is also on wheeler in flint creek right off of hwy 67 in priceville on the refuge. Good luck caching man. I'm sure others with chime in on more spots.

Welcome!:welcome

Hi John and Prater, thank you for the welcome.

Prater thanks for the info. I don't have a boat so I will be limited to fishing from the bank. I will go over and check out Limestone bay and see what I can do from the bank there.

Welcome.the guys here are all great about helping.i fish from the bank right now too and have got lots of help on here.

Welcome!

Best bet from the bank may be the bridges at the Big G, but it will be crowded.

Nearer to Huntsville it will take some work, but all the creeks (Beaverdam, Limestone & Piney) that feed Limestone Bay should be good.

Thanks Everyone! This should get me started on locations. I'll head out this weekend and start checking these spots.

Welcome, a lot of the guys are getting together on Nelly Henry next week. You should go and meet up with them.

Welcome to the board!! I started the same way as a bank fisherman from Madison. The big G has a number of good bridges to fish during the spawn. All the bridges along HWY 79, N. Sauty bridge off HWY 72 near Scotsboro, Rockhouse pump station off of Greenbrier Rd near Madison, City park dock at Scottsboro, Belefonte access road bridge east of Scottsboro, Honeycomb under HWY 431, Brown's Creek under HWY 69 in Guntersville. The HWY 31 bridge before the marina in Decatur and the big bridge. Also down along the Guntersville dam tail race both the Arab side and the Guntersville side. All these will be loaded up from time to time with crappie. Many limits caught by the guys off the bank.

Spring Fish camp next week would be a great place to meet a lot of the guys on the board and get to know that lake as well. Number of folks have seats available to fish that weekend.

Hey thanks again to everyone for the info! It will be really helpful. I can make it down to Neeley Henry next weekend. It will only be for Saturday though due to other plans on Sunday. Where should I go to meet up with people early Saturday morning?

Welcome!

for Spring fish camp.

Careful on the banks. I saw 3 snakes this morning.

Most them just water snakes they want bother ya! But they are some cotton mouths out their. Despite what all the folks say

I read this right before I went today.i broke out my snake boots from my coon hunting days. Lol

Check out Madison County lake it's county maintained and they stock it they have a small bait store there that has minnows and crickets. Small $3 permit to fish and boats with trolling motors allowed and available to rent. Not very deep it ranges from 0ft to 30ft at the dam end. People catching some Crappys there now. Stocked Trout seems to be over. I've seen some nice Catfish stringers come out of there.
