Alabama - Neely Henry Lake
If you're after something different, try spotted bass on this winding reservoir that behaves more like a river for most of its 77 miles between Logan Martin and Weiss Lakes. You'll find cover along rocky shorelines under the shadows of tree-lined bluffs. Spotted bass will take finesse worms, jigs, and topwater baits. For largemouths, try 1/2-ounce tube jigs around dock pilings in the wider southern end near the dam. outdooralabama.com/fishing/freshwater/where/reservoirs/neelyhenry
Guide's Tips
Species: Spotted Bass
Guide: Charles Slaton; C & B North Alabama Guide Service; 256-593-7249
Rig Specifics: A Quantum baitcaster with 14- to 17-pound-test line and a 6-inch needle worm.
Quick Tip: Position the boat in deep water on a partly cloudy, calm day. The fish tend to be about 10 feet deep.
Where to Fish: Go to the edge of the river channel and fish by the points and rocks.
