Spring is coming along nicely, with crappie starting to move off of the banks and onto structure across the state. The bass bite is staying strong, and the bluegill are starting to go on bed. It’s a great time to be an angler, and this week we’ve got some great topics lined up.

First up we have Tony Adams reporting in from Lake Eufala. Tony has been hammering crappie this spring, despite high and muddy water, and this week he’s here on the show to share some of his secrets for success. While he’s primarily a crappie angler, Tony is also a big fan of jug-fishing for catfish. He’s known for pulling cats out of deep water on jugs, with some of his lines running as deep as 60 feet! Stay tuned to hear how he rigs his jugs, his preferred catfish baits, and how he decides where to set his lines.

After that, we have Steve Graziano giving us a deep-dive on how to find deep water bluegill beds on side scan sonar. Most anglers think of bluegill as bedding shallow, and will search for beds with polarized lenses or “with their nose,” but big ‘gills often bed in deeper water, and if you can learn to locate these deeper bedding areas you can find some of the hottest fishing late spring and early summer have to offer.

This week, we’ve got special guest Ben Roussel with the Gulf Coast Council of Fly Fishers International. Ben is here this week to talk about the Suncatch Slam. Almost every freshwater angler in the state started their fishing career with a big, fat Bluegill or Redear Sunfish, but few are aware of just how many “panfish” inhabit Alabama’s waters. The Suncatch Slam exists to encourage anglers to get out and explore the Gulf Coast areas lesser-known waterways and discover their astonishing biodiversity, and it’s a pile of fun to boot! Join us as Ben discusses Dollar Sunfish, Spotted Sunfish, Redbreast Sunfish, Fliers, and other lesser-known species. We talk all about the best gear for these small-but-beautiful species, and some tips on how to catch them.
