Fish are caught all over the lake this time of year, however the upper part of the lake tends to warm up a little faster because it is generally shallower.
Yesterday afternoon I finally got to fish for the first time this year from 1:00 - 5:00 PM ... then I towed a broken down boater back to the ramp. Water temps in the state park area and northward were 52-54 degrees which means bass are staging or in Pre-Spawn mode. I didn't find any keeper bass willing to bite ... the bright sunshine may have turned them off??
Crappie should be getting ready to spawn when the moon gets right. Look for a combination of wood / weeds for the best crappie action. You should be able to find a few slabs in the tree tops along Town Creek, a mile or two upstream from where you are staying ... not many weeds back in there though. I like the City Park or County Park areas in Scottsboro for numbers of big crappies.
