I bought a little jon boat off my neighbor for cheap. Anyway, my wife and I fish the river all the time above and below 280. I'm going to try and check it out this weekend, but it looks like one might be able to get a little jon boat in underneath the 280 bridge. I don't have a dump trailer, but it looks like the bank is clear enough and low enough on one side to back this thing in enough to get it off the trailer. Anyone have any experience with this? I'd love to be able to get this little boat down there with my Hummingbird and find some cool stuff. Guessing there are some monster, untapped spotted bass in there.

That's the other side of the 280 bridge. Both sides of the bridge on the upriver portion of the 280 bridge look like you might be able to get a boat in. I know it's not an official launch, but looks promising.

Whats the deal with this? I used to fish up there a lot. Has the spillway area become a gay hangout? Haven't been there in 20 years but used to catch some huge spots in that area. One day hooked and lost a huge largemouth too that woulda been pushing 8 or 9 pounds. Had no idea there were largemouth like that in there.

That is just what I hear, and been hearing it for about 15 years now. May not be that way anymore but I have heard plenty of stories.

I hear that a lot. I've lived off of 280 for about 20 years now and this has always been a thing. I don't have any first hand experience with the people there, so I'm not sure.

There looks to be a very rough ramp looking area right about where the Little Cahaba comes in. Gonna check it out. I'd love to get my 16' boat on there with my Hummingbird side imaging and check that area out. It's essentially a small lake from there to Sicard Hollow Rd.

Assuming you fight thru the hook ups and the drug users (beware of needles and such), your only option is going upstream in a flat bottom boat. Not nearly enough water downstream for that boat

I went there this weekend. On the north side of the bridge there is a great spot where you could easily back a small trailer in and get a flat bottom off. It needs a little improvement, but it's definitely do-able. The issue is parking. No way I'd do it on a weekend. There is only room for a single person to launch with a trailer. I may try it during the week like on a Monday or Tuesday......

my brother Randy, a friend Jack Mears, and I put a canoe in right there back in 1968 er so. After we put in the police found two missing Homewood boys, dead, near there. My father and Jacks father came up the river at 1am looking for us and ended our campout.

Neighbor that I got the jon boat from claims to have caught an 8+ LM there one year flipping log jams. There are a ton of log jams down there right now.......

I’ve never had great luck on the Cahaba. Have caught a few LM and a few red eye and even 1 crappie on a crank bait but never slammed them on any trip
