Crappie

For crappie anglers, Lakeview, Alabama, and nearby Logan Martin Lake offer ample opportunities. This reservoir boasts a healthy crappie population, with both black and white crappie present. The best time to target them is during the spring spawning season (March-May) when they move into shallow, protected areas to spawn. Look for them around docks, brush piles, and submerged timber in coves and creeks. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A local tip is to fish around the numerous boat docks, especially those with lights, as they attract crappie at night. The fall (October-November) can also be productive as crappie feed heavily before winter. Be mindful of the lake's fluctuating water levels, which can impact crappie location. Logan Martin Lake has many access points, but the Coosa Island boat ramp is a well-known spot for crappie fishing. The crappie in Logan Martin are known for being relatively good size, making it a rewarding destination for crappie enthusiasts.
