The birmingham news puts out a fishing report once a week, but by the time you get out there it's probably completely different. I've never fished the lake, but I read an article about it on outdoor alabama. They praised the lake for how good the bass fishing was. here's the report from the news. Inland April 13
Water conditions: 59 degrees; clear. Bass: Spotted bass hitting on plastic worms and crankbaits. Bream: Nice shellcrackers being caught on red worms. Fish on the bottom. Striped bass: Around the S-curve in deeper water. Try shad or large minnows. Note: The first tournament at Inland Marina is Friday 7 p.m. to midnight, then every Friday throughout the summer. Tuesday night tournaments begin April 18, then every other Tuesday from 7-11:30 p.m.
Good Luck
