greetings from the show me state mo.

Come on Guntersville!

Tue, 13 Apr 2010 17:22:47 GMT

I know that there are Bama residents in here that can share some info with me on fishing Lake Guntersville. I will be there with my family the second week of June. I have been told to use top water frogs and large red worms. Does anyone have any other advise as to the best lures to use? What about places to find the big ones? You don't have to worry about me taking all your good trophy bass. I will only be there for 3-4 days then I'm headed back home to Iowa. So, come on Bama! Let's loosen up them tongues! Share your honey holes and lure secrets with me!

Lake Logan Martin

WSmitty — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:44:18 GMT

Hello Everyone,
I am planning a trip to Logan Martin around the first of April. Could someone give me a few suggestions on the best locations for Bass. Of course it is always catch and release. I have never been there before and really looking forward to it. I hear this is a Great Lake but no sure of any sweet spots. I will be launching around the Riverside area.
Also some ideas of the best lures to use would be fantastic.
Thanks. Smitty

duckman — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 04:16:25 GMT

my 79 year old father and i will be in mobile in sept. ( first weekend after labor day.) we are looking to fish inshore for reds and such but cannot afford to charter a whole boat by ourselves . are there any what i call party boats where they charge by the head no matter how many people are on board. they do not have to fish for reds but if they do that makes it even better
