The Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report is your best resource for the Lake Guntersville 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 on the Alabama Freshwater Fishing Report, we’re starting down on the Mobile-Tensaw Delta with Dip McMillian. Dip recounts a serious run-in with a tugboat wake that damaged his boat and reminds us all how quickly things can turn dangerous on the water. He explains the lessons he learned about securing heavy trolling motors, why boat insurance is a must-have for tournament anglers, and the importance of documenting your gear with photos in case of an accident. He also stresses that wearing a life jacket isn’t optional—it’s what kept him and his buddy safe when things went sideways. Now back on the water after repairs, Dip shares his plans to chase crappie this weekend and talks about mentoring kids at an upcoming hunter safety course in Loxley.

From there, we swing upstate to hear from Jake Vincent of East Alabama Fly Fishing. Jake reports that late summer conditions have left rivers low and clear, which means fish are tight to shade, structure, and current breaks. He explains how targeting rock ledges, logs, and shaded creeks can turn tough days into banner ones, especially under cloud cover. Jake also makes the case for fishing from a raft, describing how rowing lets him position anglers perfectly to pick apart cover with poppers and streamers. For anglers looking to get in on the action, he suggests focusing on mornings, evenings, or cloudy days when fish are most willing to move and feed aggressively ahead of fall.
