Moving to surrounding area of Montgomery. Never been but work is moving me. Where should I be looking to crappie fish? I have a boat and been trolling/long lining in TN and SC. Thanks in advance

The Alabama River runs right by there and has some great crappie fishing. Also Miller's Ferry is also close and is good.

I've never fished the area, but when I drive through the area on I-65 all those back sloughs off the Alabama river sure look good!!
Lot of good guys on here from Martin and Jordan.Quote:

Both Martin and Jordan are finicky but good at times. Summer fishing will be better on river.
River better than the lakes during other seasons as well?Quote:

River is better bet Probally Martin good from sept to May. But hit and miss.
So river is more consistent. Do longline jigs work well?Quote:

There are several areas there. Best part is bass pro is just up I-65 in Prattville.. Jordan is a good lake to fish but good luck on Martin. Its a rich man's lake and full of pleasure boats.

Martin is hard to fish for me.Never fool with it during the summer.The pro here for martin is bama s .He helped me learn to longline over there.I consider it a dangerous washing machine this time of year.

Why do you consider it dangerous? Wind and waves?Quote:

Do you have any tips on fishing the river? I’ve really only fished longlining on lakes. Do you recommend always the river or Martin and Jordan in fall-spring?Quote:

I am in the woods just east of rockford and mostly fish mitchell and martin.Used to fish the river years back,but can't justify the drive.Lol my opinion is the al river is great if you are into carp fishing.I jug fish blues at mitchell in the summer, stripes and craps in martin winter.Dangerous? ,,big water, drunks ,dummys,etc.Have 3 acre florida,bream backyard here at the house. Large crop failure garden and dove fields to manage so I stay close.martin and mitchell are both 13 miles.

Some of the best spotted carp fishing in the state is up the river behind Jordan dam down to wetumpka.Rocks/kayak land!

Pleasure boat traffic would be why most would consider Martin dangerous. Pleasure boat wrecked on Logan Martin this week . 2 people were injured.
Dang!! I take it other areas don’t have as many pleasure boaters then? I assume that’s a lot of traffic though…Quote:
