Wife and I ran the Cahaba this weekend. First time we've been in the winter. Fall was awful because we had no current. Winter has been awful because it is either raining every weekend or the water is too high.
We went Sunday and the water was moving way more than we are used to. We caught some big spots, but didn't catch the first redeye. We were throwing bigger baits than is our norm down there due to the current. That might have had something to do with it? Are there any baits and/or strategies for winter time redeye fishing? My wife was bent out of shape when I told her the buzzbait was out of season.....

Yeah. The wife and I usually catch them in the summer on top water. With the water coming down and the rain holding off, we will be going more (probably again this weekend). Gonna make sure one of us is throwing a small crankbait this time.

best I ever caught was on a regular size spinnerbait in fast water. Usually a small inline spinner like a shyster is much better.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Not ideal in the waters you describe, but beetlespins and Mepps Comets have
gotten them for me.

I've never had much luck with redeye until the water warmed up some, like late spring on the Cahaba River

Centerville is a LONG way from where I'm fishing. I want to get down that way, but haven't made it yet.
