Some may argue that fishing is purely luck. But is it? Do the greatest fishermen in the country just get lucky over and over or do they have a technique? Do they just cast a line and hope for the best or is there an art of fishing that we need to know?

With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, we want to look into some of the best fishing spots to help you fish for bass and crappie in Alabama.

Let’s first explore Logan Martin Lake, known as the “Lake of a Thousand Coves.” People travel from all over to bass fish its 245 miles of shoreland. Bassmaster pros came to compete in many tournaments in 2018 and went home amazed at what they caught. Logan Martin Lake is well known for its numerous largemouth and spotted bass. Its large size makes it easy to travel by boat for a great fishing experience.

If you aren’t confident enough to go out on your own, Logan Martin Lake is home to many experienced and helpful fishing guide services. Joey’s Guided Bass Fishing will take you up the Coosa River System to fish the best spots. His guided tours stretch throughout the lakes of Northern Alabama.

If you want to try your luck at catching crappie, Weiss Lake is the spot. This lake is known as the Crappie Fishing Capital of the World! Cruise over deep channels or walk down one of the lake’s many piers.

With five different boat launches to choose from, Weiss Lake makes it easy to access the water. Get ready to cast your line and catch some crappie!
