I only fished a couple days in June but I was amazed at the number of crappie in that lake. Every brush pile was loaded woth them!

Went to Logan today, first time there in a few weeks. Actually wasn't too bad, caught several fish, had three pretty good largemouths. I didn't get there till 9:00 this morning, only fished till 3:00 because storms ran me off. Fish were really shallow, REALLY shallow. Caught fish in grass, off docks, seawalls, and just in the middle of pockets around any visible cover. It was still Logan Martin though, Good Heavens at the 800-gajillion boats, geez it's frustrating.

Had a pretty neat catch.... the biggest fish I caught (probably 3-1/4 pounds) chased my lure to the boat as I was reeling in and boiled it just about the time I was lifting it out of the water, I think I might've cussed and squealed pretty loud

Y'all been on Logan lately? I fished there Saturday morning till about 11:00, I would classify that trip as "struggled". Caught one spot about 2.75 pounds, and a handful of other dinks just junk fishing. Saw NO fish offshore (well, I did see some scattered suspended fish, but nothing catchable or frankly nothing I even assume were definitely bass), didn't have a single bite on docks, just no pattern. I really couldn't tell you from Saturday where I even think the fish are for sure. Got a small tournament out of Pell City on Saturday,

I reckon I caught 10 fish total, and honestly half of them probably weren't even 12".

I went out a few weeks ago on my kayak and struggled. I have some friends that fish a lot of tournaments and they say things have been really tough on Logan Martin the past 2 months.

Should be several schools of fish in the lakeside creek whatever they call it. Should not have to leave there

We have a small tourney out of D&S on Saturday as well. Gonna try and prefish this Friday and see what's going on. I hate that lake and REALLY hate it at this time of year. Probably just pick an area, pick up a jig, and flip/pitch all day.

labor day gone. Logan Martin say "how do you like me now"?

I fished from 2:00 till 6:30 yesterday and caught 4 total fish, and I don't know if 2 of them would've even measured. Bunch of small spots schooling later in the evening, but otherwise it was just a ghost town. I did see an occasional bigger blowup, but they were so random and scattered you couldn't cast to them.

Or let me say it this way: I fished almost all of Rabbit Branch, so I'm certainly not on any fish in there.

I fished from daylight until 1:30. There were two tournaments out of Pell City Park. I only caught 1 fish that would not measure but nothing over 2.3lbs. Managed to catch 12 bass but its just down right hard for me to get bit in the summer time on any lake. I don't tournaments fish anymore but my best 5 was 9-10 pounds. I still like to compare to what won the tournaments. With that said, does anyone know what it took to win yesterday and or get in the money?

Fished from 10AM to 3PM on Saturday. My partner decided to stay deep chasing spots on humps. He caught one keeper and I didn't get a bite. I've zero'd in a tourney before, but I've NEVER fished and not caught something or at least gotten a bite until this weekend.

14lbs won our club tourney (guy lives on the lake and is easily the best fisherman I've ever been around). 2nd place was 6lbs if that tells you anything.

I fished a little small solo trail tournament out of Town & Country, only had 4 fish for 7.22 pounds, finished 3rd. It only paid 2 places though, only had 8 boats show up. For what it's worth, 1st and 2nd place had 5 fish (10.4 and 9.1 respectively), I had 4 fish, 4th place had two fish for 3.33, and the rest zeroed. All the guys I communicated with who did pretty good Saturday were above Stemley Bridge, I stayed way down all day.

Saw where 18.18 (with a 6.45 big fish) won the God is Bigger tournament, but heck they also had several 11-14 pound bags.

That is a GREAT sack this time of year. My congrats to anyone that can catch 15+ right now. I dang sure can't!

Same. Kinda going back to our conversation earlier about "where have the big spots gone?", you'd be dang lucky to catch one good largemouth on Logan (much less two, much less 18 pounds of them) and when the magnum spots just went AWOL, so did my odds of bringing in that kind of bag. I've won on Logan several times with 15+ of spots, even had 20-10 with a 6.00 big fish (spot) before, but I doubt I've had 10 pounds of spots in several years. My "good" bags nowadays at Logan is a 3-1/2 pound largemouth, with a mix of 4 more spots and heads in the 1-1/2 to 2 pound range, and that gets you solidly in the 10 to 11 pound range.

Logan Martin has quickly become my least favorite lake on the Coosa River.

You prefer Neely over Logan?

Well, for the last 10-15 years, YES.....but this past year, I'd sell my boat and all fishing gear if either of those lakes was all I had to fish. I probably would still pick Neely though.

I never feel like I can catch a 15#+ bag at Logan, but I believe I can catch 20# at Neely "most" of the year (except hot Summer).

The most amazing feat in all of fishing to me is seeing a big stringer at Logan, especially largemouth. Someone does it all the time, but I just don't know what I don't know, I reckon.

All of this.

Anybody been on Logan this week?

Not that it matters, my stubborn butt is gonna make 'em be where I want 'em to be anyway

Well we didn't do terrible.... finished 7th (out of 25) with 10.29 pounds. 1st and 2nd were in the 13's, I think there was an 11.something pound bag, then 4th through us were all 10.something. I thought it was tough as usual for Logan, there was a ton of boats out (especially if you went Choccolocco or below), and it just got sunny and slick with no wind about mid-morning. We just couldn't find any largemouths EXCEPT for the first fish I caught on our first cast (about 2-3/4 pounds).

Had something cool happen though....my livewells are divided, and I had a GIANT red crawfish in both sides, I mean both of them were like 5" long and reddish black. Then there were tons and tons of tiny orange pieces everywhere.

Thanks for the report. I always enjoy your updates.
