Striped Bass
While not as widely known for Striped Bass as some other Alabama locations, Susan Moore offers opportunities for anglers willing to explore. The nearby Locust Fork River, a tributary of the Black Warrior River, can hold Stripers, especially during their spring spawning runs. These fish migrate upstream from larger reservoirs. Target areas with moving water, such as shoals and creek mouths. Spring and early summer are the best times to target them. Live bait, such as shad or shiners, is often effective, as are large swimbaits and crankbaits. Be prepared for a fight, as Stripers are powerful fish. Access to the Locust Fork can be challenging in some areas, so research access points and be prepared for some hiking. Check local regulations regarding size and creel limits for Striped Bass, as they can vary.
