About this listen

The Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report is your best resource for the Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, Weiss Lake Fishing Report, Lake Eufaula Fishing Report, Mobile-Tensaw Delta Fishing Report, and all the creeks, rivers, and reservoirs in between.

This week we start on Lake Eufaula with Steve Graziano from Graz’s Guide Service. Graz explains the tough transition period anglers face in September as the lake begins its fall turnover. With water temps still hovering in the mid-80s, baitfish are suspended and bass are scattered, making for challenging days on the water. Graz shares how he’s finding success with drop shots, Carolina rigs, and a tail spinner called the Deracoup that mimics dying threadfin shad. He also breaks down what anglers can expect in the next few weeks as water temps finally cool into the 70s and bass begin moving into their fall patterns.

Then we swing south to the Mobile-Tensaw Delta, where Justin Dunnam checks in from the upper creeks. Low water has the system in a late-summer drought pattern, but Justin says the topwater bite has been on fire—lasting well into the afternoon. He’s been throwing Snag Proof wake baits like the Zoo Pup in shallow, leafy backwaters where bass explode in unlikely places. He also reports on the white perch bite, explaining how he targets deeper oxbows with a simple paddle-depth gauge and a Z-Man Shad Fry on a 1/32-ounce jig head. Justin talks about balancing freshwater and saltwater this time of year, with speckled trout beginning to push into the Causeway creeks and flounder migration just around the corner.
