The Alabama Freshwater Fishing report is your best resource for the Lake Guntersville Fishing Report, Weiss Lake Fishing Report, Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, Mobile Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, and all the creeks, rivers, and reservoirs in between.

This week on the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report, we have a special episode featuring Cindy Lowry from the Alabama Rivers Alliance and Steven Gann from Alabama Beer Company. We’re talking about something that might surprise you—the intersection of great beer and river conservation.

Steven introduces us to Alabama Beer Co., a brewery with a mission to create an easy-drinking, locally brewed light lager that supports clean water initiatives. Cindy dives into the work of the Alabama Rivers Alliance, a nonprofit dedicated to keeping Alabama’s waterways clean and healthy for anglers, paddlers, and all outdoor enthusiasts.

Together, they’ve launched the Drift Fund (Defending River Integrity for Tomorrow), which channels a portion of beer sales directly into small grants for grassroots conservation efforts. That means every Alabama Light Beer you enjoy helps fund local groups fighting to protect our waterways.

Tune in to learn about all the good ARA does for anglers in the state, and learn how you can support watershed conservation by doing something as simple as drinking a cold one on your next fishing trip!

This week we’ve got Justin Dunnam reporting in from the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and the Tombigbee/Alabama rivers in LA. Justin reports that with the Snowpocalypse behind us, the warm weather has been getting the bass moving into the shallows. He reports particularly good fishing for spotted bass in particular. Join us as we discuss yellow perch and sole in Lower Alabama, and stick around to hear the schedule for the local kayak tournaments in the area.

Joining us next we have Ande Whitten on the Tennessee River. Ande is gearing up for early season smallmouth bass, and reports some good success lately even with water and air temps staying cooler in the northern part of the state. Join us as we discuss Ande’s Five Favorite Bass Flies, sinking leaders, and more!

This week we’re checking in first with Lee Pitts to hear how the crappie are biting on the Coosa River lake chain. Lee is reporting rapidly warming conditions, and as fish begin to move to spring patterns it seems “everything works.” Lee reports they’re catching them all the way from 30 to 4 feet deep, and that the shallows are already hitting 65 degrees in some places.

Next up we have Tina Morrison from the Gadsden here to let us know that the Rainbow Trout put-n-take fishery below Noccalula Falls on Black Creek is looking great this year. The pool below the falls has been stocked with 2,000 lbs of fish, and Tina reports that many of them were in the 10-12” range. 

After that, we’ve got Clayton Batts reporting in from the Lake Eufaula area. Clayton reports hot bass action, and is staying busy putting clients on big fish and gearing up for the 2025 tournaments. He reports 25+lbs bags coming in off of the lake, meaning we’re already off to a hot start this year!

Finally, we have Andre Davis here to let us know that the creeks are already firing up, and that fly anglers can anticipate chilly wading conditions still, but hot topwater action as winter thaws and fish begin looking up.

This week we’re checking in with Dip McMillian to talk about how to use forward-facing sonar to locate roving schools of wintertime crappie. Host Nick Williams got to sit in the passenger seat with Dip on a recent trip where Dip put on a masterclass in cold water sonar usage and boat handling skills. Tune in to learn how to sweep large areas with sidescan, how to know when to leave uncooperative fish alone, and how to juggle fishing, livescoping, and boat positioning all at the same time. Stick around to hear Dippi Outdoors’ plans for the 2025 year.

Next up we have a special flyway report from Mobile Baykeeper’s Executive Director, Will Strickland. While waterfowl season has been rough across much of Alabama this year, Will and his Boykin, Lilly, were able to end the season with a “bang” and take home some Mobile-Tensaw wood ducks after the “snowpacolypse” thawed. Will also has good news to report regarding the federal mud dumping in Mobile Bay, reporting that commercial fishermen, recreational anglers, local conservation groups, and a key politician are all uniting in an effort to keep the bay clean and clear for generations to come.

Finally, we have Steve “the Graz” Graziano reporting in on bass activity on Lake Eufaula. With the wild temperature swings we’ve been experiencing, fishing has been challenging, but Graz has the tips you need to think on your feet and be adaptable as we finish out our fickle winter and move into an early, southern spring.

This is a special rebroadcast of the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report. The report that is your best resource for the Lake Guntersville Fishing Report, Weiss Lake Fishing Report, Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, Mobile Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, and all the creeks, rivers, and reservoirs in between.

This episode Nick Williams is joined by Anthony Rabern with Georgia Department of Natural Resources. Earlier in the year we talked about Georgia’s Black Bass Slam, and this week Anthony is here to discuss their Trout Slam. Join us as we talk about the state’s efforts to stock brown and rainbow trout, and to hear about the wild brook trout populations in the Chattahoochee National forest. If you’re looking for a good excuse to find yourself “cloud hidden, whereabouts unknown” in Georgia’s mountains, you won’t want to miss this segment

Next, Nick talks with Norm Latona with Southeastern Pond Management, about pond fountains and pond aeration systems. Now is a great time to start thinking about getting ahead of the stratification that warm weather can bring to a pond, and today Norm talks about what aerators, fountains, and destratifiers will and won’t do for your private pond.

This week we’ve got two awesome deep-dives into winter fishing from Peter John Cole and Peter Jordan.

First up we have Peter John Cole reporting in from the Cahaba River. If you enjoyed our recent Big Bass Special with Steve Graziano (where we discussed how to find big winter bass holed up in large reservoirs) but you fish free-flowing rivers, then you’ll love this section. Join us as Peter gives us the skinny on deep water river lunkers. Where to find them, how to tempt them, and how to wrangle them all the way to your landing net. 

Next up we have Peter “The Lost Angler” Jordan to give us a really thorough breakdown of typical winter fishing conditions in lower Alabama. Winter brings cold, muddy water, and this week Peter gives us a detailed breakdown of what exactly that does to the fishing. Join us as we discuss how vegetation die-off shifts forage and therefore bass movement in watersheds, the importance of scent and motion when targeting fish in muddy waters, and the importance of a little-known but widely-spread forage species that you’ve probably imitated a thousand times without ever actually seeing in-the-flesh.

To ring in the New Year, we’re revisiting a conversation we had with Bryant Bowden about the Georgia Black Bass Slam. If you’re looking to make a fun and challenging New Year’s Resolution, the Slam offers a great opportunity to get out and explore the astonishing biodiversity typical of the southeast. Georgia is home to no fewer than 10 distinct species of Black Bass, and the Slam is a fun and unique challenge that can take anglers from the Appalachian headwaters all the way down to the coastal wetlands in pursuit of these aggressive and sporty fish. Join us for tips on completing the slam, as well as a primer on the unique conservation challenges such astonishing biodiversity brings.

In this special Christmas episode, we welcome show regular Steve Graziano ("Graz") back for a deep dive on how to catch big bass during the coldest months of the year. Graz emphasizes that the colder months of December through February are ideal for targeting trophy bass as they actively feed in preparation for the pre-spawn. Early mornings are the most productive time to catch these giants, and key areas to focus on include creek mouths, ditches, and spots near deeper water. Jigs, Carolina rigs, blade baits, and tail spinners are among the baits he finds most effective in winter conditions.

Graz highlights the importance of using good electronics to locate fish and adapting to conditions such as water clarity and temperature. He encourages anglers to embrace winter fishing, noting the predictability of bass behavior during this time of year. Patience and persistence are crucial, as is staying safe and comfortable by wearing life jackets and dressing appropriately for the cold. Graz’s stories of double-digit bass and lessons learned from years on the water are sure to inspire listeners to brave the chill and get out there.
