Spring is transitioning to summer in Alabama, and the fishing action continues to heat up throughout the state.

This week reporting in from Lake Pickwick on the Tennessee River we have Tracy Humber. Crappie are in a “slump” right now according to Tracy, who has turned his attention towards bluegill and shellcracker while he waits for the slabs to begin stacking on deep water summertime structure. Join us as we talk bluegill beds, dropshotting for bluegill, strategies for big bluegill, and filleting vs whole-frying these delicious and feisty panfish.

Coming in from the other end of the state we have Peter Jordan, who owns the Lost Angler Fly Shop. Peter has been beating the heat by turning to the numerous blackwater streams that lace the the Gulf Coast, and this week he offers tips on how to target feisty Spotted Bass on fly and conventional tackle. We talk wading boots, fly tying, bowfin, and a little inshore fishing. For newcomers or vacationers to the Mobile Bay area, the causeway offers a unique opportunity to go “bass fishing” for specks, redfish, and flounder if the conditions are right.

The cold nights seem to be fading away as summer fast approaches, and the fishing in Alabama’s rivers and streams is as good as it gets right now.

This week we’re joined by Stephen Rockarts with Fly Fishing Alabama. If you’ve never caught the Cahaba Lilies in full bloom and pulled Alabama and Cahaba Bass from the shoals, you’ll want to tune in this week for good intel to plan your new favorite trip around.

Next up we have Andre Davis reporting in from Central Alabama. Andre is reporting tremendous numbers of hungry panfish and bass in the streamways in his section of the state, and reminds us this week that now is the perfect time to experiment with new baits and build confidence in them.

Finally, we have Justin Michael Dunnam down on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, reporting on an exciting new collaboration between Mobtown Kayak Bass Fishing and Bassmasters.

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 Dip McMillian reporting in from the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. As usual, Dip is on the crappie, seeming to know what they’re going to do even before they know themselves! Dip reports that crappie are scattered now in 8-10 feet of water, and that anglers able to target them can expect to pull in some really big ones. While the springtime limb-line bite is winding down, Dip is also still finding success with big blues and flatheads. Finally, we’re proud to see Dip get some recognition for his skills in the form of a new color offered by ATX Lure Company, the “Dippi Tensaw Special.” If you fish muddy or stained water, be sure to grab a pack the next time you’re in town.

Stay tuned to hear from former AFFR Host, Brian Senn. Brian has been catching some fish himself lately, and gives a mini-report on the smallmouth fishery up on the Tennessee River. While we’re thrilled to hear a familiar voice back on the show, Brian also brings sad news for the Alabama fishing community. Brandon Watson, accomplished kayak angler and valued AFFR contributor, has recently passed away. Our hearts go out to his family in this difficult time. As a tribute to Brandon, we’re revisiting a segment he recorded with Brian last year in early May. Please join us in remembering a daring and adventurous kayak angler who was always eager to help his fellow fishermen.

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.

First up we have Steve “Graz” Graziano reporting from Lake Eufala on the Chattahoochee River. Graz was fresh off the boat after an awesome trip this week when we recorded, having just put a client on his PB Largemouth, a 7 lb stud that made the mistake of hanging out too close to Graz’s boat. Fish are big and plentiful right now in the shallow waters of Lake Eufaula, and Graz has the information you need to get on them before they start heading back to deeper waters as the year wears on.

Next up we have Dip McMillian from the Mobile-Tensaw Delta. Dip reports catching scattered crappie in that are still up shallow, but starting to disperse after the spawn. Dip was loading up his tackle box as we spoke to get ready to run limb lines for big flathead and blue cats this evening.

Finally we’re joined by John Radle with Bauer Fly Reels. If you’re looking to upgrade the reel on your redfish, bluegill, or redeye bass rod this spring, John is here to give you the scoop on what to look for in a good fly fishing reel.
