EIGHT LAKES IN TWO WEEKS!
Lake
level: Full pool
Water Temperature: Main Lake 92 degrees / Creeks Upper 80's
Water Clarity: Clear
Yeah, I get around to all of Alabama's lakes at some time or
another. This last two weeks I've traveled to Logan Martin
Lake, Lake Eufaula (yesterday), Mitchell Lake, Wheeler lake,
Guntersville lake, Weiss lake, Lay lake and Lake Martin. I
send reports to www.markshotlakes.com for
each lake you can sign up for, or you can go to my website
and click on "links" to
see other websites that post my reports.
Mitchell lake is a good summertime lake for fishing day or
night. On a recent daytime guided trip to Mitchell Lake two
young clients of Reeds Guide Service enjoyed two hours of catching
spotted bass in Mitchell lake's headwaters below Lay lake dam.
This was a great morning especially with 99 degrees all week.
Most bass came off of silver/black back rattletraps and Rapala's
Rattlin' Raps lipless lures in half ounce size fished on 15
pound trilene big game monofilament line in water less than
5 feet deep around rocks.
We also fished up in Hatchet creek catching bass on pearl colored
flukes, white trick worms, weightless Senkos and a few on frogs
around grassy points. Some creek headwaters are cooler in the
upper 80''s and active bass were evident the further we fished
up in Hatchet creek and nearby Weoguftka Creek.
As waters cool this Fall season this will be a great lake to
find seclusion in these creek backwaters! Topwaters, spinnerbaits
and swim baits are always good lures in the fall on Mitchell
lake! Look for numbers of bait fish schools and fish hard with
a variety of lures! Always try weeds, wood cover and rocks
to find the best places on any fishing trip.
They do prefer one place over another at times! Mitchell lake
is only 17 miles long. You can discover a lot of ways to fish
this small lake in a days time!
