Larry, on this river, there are no "off" the beaten path places anymore. I hate it has come to this, but it has. I will still go and have fun, but it does get frustrating..................................
I love the new Canoe creek launch except now everybody and their brother is fishing up there. I'm lucky I have some weekdays off. I don't even like to go on Saturdays anymore.

They bed from Feb-May even June at times. Right now likely has the largest wave of fish on the bed of the entire spring

I fished about 4 hours this past Fri. Had 4 or 5 on a chatterbait and a couple on a plastics. Not much size. Still seems be a mix of spawn and pre and post spawn from what little time I was out..

Anyone go this weekend? River was the trashiest I have seen since March 11th weekend. The are still rolling 3 at Ragland and the river has mud swirls all in it. Had a good friend in an older Nautique hit a submerged log Saturday and it pushed fin up into boat. He damn near lost the boat and was only a mile from a lift he used to pull boat out. Water was all the way in floor up on motor making it cut out. Brandon was lucky.

I fished that tournament out of Rainbow landing yesterday. 1st place was 15 lbs.
Early bite was good. They still a few grown ones hanging around the grass on the main river. If you go back in the cuts. You'll get tired of wasting plastic on 11-13 inch fish.lol

I caught 8 yesterday afternoon. Biggest about 3#. Lots of small fish. Grass off deeper points and some in middle of river. Bites I had were aggressive.

Are there any public ramps up river? Holes bluff or ball play area? Seems like we use to put in at an old ferry crossing when I was a kid.

Not a lot of choices up there. Ferry crossing is about as good as it gets unless you want to run a long way. Croft Ferry is a few miles below Weiss dam powerhouse.

Had a chance to go yesterday afternoon. Caught three with one a little over 5. It came off a jig flipping piers. Others off crankbait. Anyone been lately?

Nope not lately. People still saying there in the grass... not for me the last time I went about two weeks ago. Going this evening to do a little fly fishing I think.

The end of Kershaw Quarters rd. comes out right in front of Weiss power house. It's a chirt ramp... And whether you put in there or at the end of Croft Ferry there's a good chance you will get your truck broken into.

I went and checked out the ramp behind the old Gregersons grocery store on 278 near tillison bend. The ramp itself looked pretty nice. There were probably 6 or 7 vehicles in the parking lot. It's not as far upriver as I would have hoped for, but it would be a better option than the city dock. I'm not sure if burglary or vandalism is an issue...

We fished a tournament there last Saturday out of Gadsden, weighed five for 6.44 pounds, worst day of fishing I've had in a while. Didn't catch a fish after 8:45 (after that big line of storms blew by). In hindsight I wish I had run way downriver to Beaver and Shoal, but it was only a small club tournament and I didn't feel like that long of a run was worth it. First and second place both had upper 12's and both teams said they caught their fish on crankbaits on "deep points" after 11:00 when they turned water on. I fished multiple ledge spots and had zero bites. Didn't catch a fish on a dock the entire day. Every one of our fish came from the grass, but it had to be in the mouth of pockets right out near the river. Fish didn't seem to be in the main river grass itself, and NOTHING was farther back in the pockets. Caught our fish on buzzbaits, Pop-Rs, and Senkos. Not sure if any of that holds merit, or if it was just one of those days for me. My guy in the back of the boat did catch about a 15-20 pound flathead on a shakey head!


We were on the edge of Eternia, when the power of Greyskull began to take hold.

Dog days of summer. Morning bite it TOTALLY different than afternoon bit at least for me. I can usually catch a few in the afternoons but last week was rough. I could see fish on ledges, but they would not bite.

The old Hokes Bluff ferry launch is good. there used to be one at the end of Alford Bend that would be closer to Ballplay than any of them but I aint sure it's even open anymore.
