The crappie bite is hot........

The bass fishing at Logan Martin is excellent at the moment. From interstate 20 down river the lake is clearing up and the fish are positioning in their usual prespawn areas. Gravel bars and chunk rock banks leading into spawning areas with deep water access are where I am catching the fish right now. I am catching about 15 fish per day with the...

The bass fishing at Weiss is excellent at the moment. The lake is clearing up from the recent rains and is at winter pool which is 3 feet low. We are catching 15-20 per day and the size is excellent with our best 5 ranging from 16-19 pounds on most days. The spots are feeding on the gravel bars and humps in the current and our best baits for spot...

The rain and cooler weather has the spotted bass feeding aggressively and some big largemouth are showing up as well. There are 3 different patterns at the moment that are working. A 3/8 brown and orange jig fished at a 45 degree angle on the bluffs is a great way to catch big spots right now. Cranking hard spots in 6-9 feet is working as well pr...

I have guided on Logan Martin twice recently and we have caught them good deep and shallow. With bright sun and current the ledge bite is pretty consistent. Our best baits out on the ledges were a Carolina rig and a big crankbait. Early mornings and in low light conditions with no current we stayed shallow with a buzzbait and spinnerbait and were...

Wow!!! This place is fishing the best it has in decades. It's taking over 20lbs to win every Saturday and the lake is full of healthy 2-3 pound fish. I have guided at Neely all week and we are getting 40-50 bites per day. We are catching an even mix of spots and largemouth. The best baits have been big crankbaits out on the ledges and a green...

Logan Martin  The months of March and April are my two favorite months to fish on Logan Martin. Warmer and longer days during these months have the fish on the move from their wintertime living quarters to their spawning areas. Typically in March the fish are mainly in their pre-spawn mood. The fish are feeding […] The post Catchin’ the Coosa Marc...

Largemouth caught on retaining wall

Logan Martin As we move into the fall of year there will be a lot of changes taking place day to day on the Coosa River.

First the shad […] The post Catchin’ the Coosa appeared first on Zeke Gossett Fishing.

Logan Martin The months of July and August can be hot but so can the fishing if you look in the right places.

Bass have a high metabolism and they have to eat more this […] The post Catchin’ the Coosa appeared first on Zeke Gossett Fishin...

I guided at Logan Martin yesterday and my first objective is to always get a ledge bite going. Well that didn't happen. Thankfully we started the morning with a topwater and put a solid limit in the boat. The next pattern I checked was brushpiles and we were able to get a lot of bites doing that however we were unable to upgrade the fish we c...

Logan Martin  The months of May and June on Logan Martin can sometimes leave fish in a post-spawn funk but maybe these tips can help you catch a few more bass during this time frame. In early May you can find shad spawns early in the morning. You’re going to find shad spawning around docks […] The post Catchin’ the Coosa appeared first on Zeke Gos...

Wow what a lake. We landed 50 today and got bit on every stop. At daylight there is a major shad spawn and we had fish blowing up all around us. We caught them on a spook,spinnerbait and jerkbait. Then when the sun got bright we were able to catch quite a few fish on plastics and jigs. When Alabama power got some current rolling the fis...

since hurricane Michael, fishing has been spotty. The water temperature has been higher than normal. I haven't been able to hook up to much. We have tried live bait and artificial from the inshore rigs all the way out to the 15mile rigs, including The Point.
