Fishing Logan Martin first time. Any suggestions?? Techniques and type of water to fish this time of year. Don’t want locations, just types of places to fish. Main river, flats, ledges, docks??? Just things I should look for.

Chad fun lake lots of fish to be caught just a pile of small ones in the lake now days. I would go way up the river if they are going to run much water. Othwrwise spend your time flipping docks if she is comfortable with that

Appreciate it, Ben2, we are going to go tomorrow and work on it. That was one of my plans to do. If she catches fish she’s happy. So that’s our goal. Appreciate the info!

I used to fish logan about 20 years ago. I used to love throwing a suspending rattling rogue for spots. I used to catch some big spots, 4 and 5lbs. I would put in at town and country and run up the river to a marina, cant remember the name. Had a bunch of sailboats docked at the marina in 15 to 30ft of water. I would cast that jerk bait parallel to sailboat so you could work the entire length of the boat. Jerk bait was probably only diving 4 to 6ft but those big spots would nail it. And I didnt just twitch it, I would jerk the crap out of it. So you may want to give it a try. Clown rogue. red head with gold and white body Those 4 and 5 lb spots now weigh about a lb. Logan Martinbis now lake martin #2. If you can carch 10-12 lbs you are doing good

Wish I had seen this earlier. I could've helped ya. Fished this lake all my life and deep water points are your friend. Pulling water or not. There are several points on the channel not far from Lakeside that are deadly.

We didn’t go Tuesday, but they are fishing Saturday the Airport High School Tournament. I’m not captaining this one so I wasn’t able to go and test my strategies. I’m just going to let him captain them and just hope for the best. Hopefully they find a needle in the hay stack. Airport went into the trail schedule really early this year. And I wasn’t able to get vacations in before first tournament. Last yr first tournament was in October. This year August 22. Caught us off guard.

I'm no expert on Logan or anywhere else for that matter but a simple Carolina rig with a finesse worm on deep channel points will produce fish about anywhere you go.

What Ben says is the gospel truth. Nobody really knows, everybody has a theory. Mine goes like this: 15 years ago there was honestly about 1/3 the bass boat traffic (also way less pleasure boats), I'm not exaggerating that at all. So those fish weren't getting caught as often (caught repeatedly, drug around in a livewell all day, released with delayed mortality from the abuse). Logan is different from all the other Coosa lakes in that it has the least cover BY FAR, there's just nowhere for those fish to hide. Also it's 20 minutes from Birmingham/Oxford/Anniston/Gadsden/Pell City--it gets tee totally thrashed from all the big population centers 24/7/365. If you go down there right now--9:45AM on Thursday--it'll look like most lakes look on Saturday. There's a tournament out of every marina 7 nights a week, half the weekday mornings, and every Sat/Sun all year long. Bottom line is it gets the most fishing pressure and has the least amount of cover for the fish to hide from being caught. Neely Henry is just slightly better, but folks like me who live there and fish both lakes often can see the same trajectory.

I remember when it was essentially guaranteed I could go to any of about a dozen clay/gravel high spots and drag a C-rig around and catch 3 pound spots until you just got tired. I don't even remember the last 5# spot I've seen from Logan (frankly from any of the Coosa lakes) Granted, I don't have any exposure to Mitchell and Jordan, so they might still crank em out. But Weiss, Neely, especially Logan, just don't seem to have the magnum spots anymore.

Lake Jordan ain't much better. I fish it quite a bit. Has really gone down last couple of years. The main problem on Jordan in my opinion is to many bass tournaments.
They have them it seems like every day and night. A lot of boat traffic and jet skis.
It's not how much money you make, but how much you can keep.
