Logan Martin Lake
* NOTE * Due to winter draw down this lake may
already be down.
There are a lot of lakes in Alabama that undergo a lot of fishing
pressure during the Spring and Summer seasons. Logan Martin Lake
should be at the top of that list. Not only have the bass on this
50 mile long lake (built in 1964) been pounded by weekly tournaments
for years, but when Summer arrives the weekly night tournaments
begin as well.
The result is hundreds of bass are transported from all over the
lake, to be weighed in and then dumped at various weigh-in sites.
Logan Martin Lake has survived many years of overharvest, fish
relocation, bad spawns, annual lake drawdown and weekly bass tournament
pressure. Recently bad evidence has surfaced, with a lake wide
advisory. Don't eat the fish! Catch and release, by those that
know, will help replenish the lake...if we can keep the poisons
out!
During Fall, fishing is as good as it gets. Usually it is down
from 3-6 feet for Winter pool.
This causes hazardous boat navigation, especially for the inexperienced
angler. When running this lake, especially for first timers, caution
is advised. Logan Martin Lake has many hidden dangers, just below
the waters surface during low winter pool.
Low water also concentrates bass. Bass that were once in the weed-lined
banks of Logan Martin Lake for the entire Summer. This forces them
to relocate to the security of deeper water. Baitfish, crayfish
and other edible creatures, will now be dined on heavily by the
bass, as both prey and predator are bunched-up in specific locations
this Fall season.
