Striped Bass
If you're targeting striped bass in Alabama, consider a trip to Rosa. Inland striper fishing here focuses primarily on the impoundments along the Coosa River system. Logan Martin Lake, just a short drive, is well-known for its hybrid and striped bass populations. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers move shallower to feed and spawn. During the warmer months, focus on deeper water near the dam or creek channels. A local tip: many anglers find success trolling live shad or using topwater lures early in the morning during the warmer months. Public access is readily available at numerous boat ramps around the lake, but be mindful of fluctuating water levels, especially during the summer. Logan Martin stripers are known for their strong fight, often reaching impressive sizes, so be sure to bring your heavier tackle.
