The New Alabama Rig got these bass for Clint Pilkington
Crappie are still biting around the solar bees in the deep water near the dam. Also many 3 to 4 pound bass have been caught in the creek areas above both bridges when the water is murky after a rain. Spinnerbaits and Bass Jigs work well. Jeff England reported catching 40 to 50 bass in 2 hours above the Grants Mill Road Bridge. The bass were gorging on Log Perch and crawdads. Lucky Craft 78 Pointer lures are the best Log Perch imitation.
All these Crappie and more were caught this Month

Crappie:
Ask us about how to fish the Solar Bees for excellent Crappie fishing this Winter. As the water temperature
continues to fall, the crappie will feed up for the winter. They will gather on submerged tree tops down 10 to 15 feet and
ambush minnows and jigs. The trick is finding structure at the right depth. Many successful fishermen create their own honey holes and they keep them secret. This month we will try to mark a few spots to make it easier for you to find one of these hot spots and maybe catch the biggest Bass before end of Febuary and win $100
Our buddy, Scott, got this 5 lb bass with his favorite lure, a Carolina rigged lizard.
Bass: February is big bass month. The biggest Bass of the year is usually caught in February each year. So the Cash for Clunkers program will award $100 to the biggest Bass of this February. See Cash for Clunkers for details.
Bream: Deep fishing with red worms will catch some big bream all winter. Tight line a red worm on very light line with a split shot in deep pockets 20 feet deep.
Catfish: Catfish
feed up for winter also. A successful tactic is to bait an area with
dead shad or other stinky bait in a burlap bag or nylons or an old
sock. Keep coming back to the same spot and fish with cut shad or
nightcrawlers.
