I just started crappie fishing this year. I have fished around the clear creek bridge area and have had luck in the spring. I have not fished since the spring but I will be going again shortly.
I am new to this site, and very new to fishing. Can someone please give me some advice on where to go on Logan Martin. I know the lake pretty well we ride ski boats regular,but now I would rather take my 8 year old fishing. Thanks very much.

Anyone fishing Logan Martin?
I still have not gone but I will try to get the boat out tomorrow for Columbus Day.
I finally went to Logan Martin today!
I fished a brush pile in cropwell creek that was 14 feet deep and caught 4 nice crappie.
I then fished a similar spot in clear creek and caught 6 more crappie and a couple of small bass.
My brother caught a 5 pound 4 ounce drum. It put a a whale of a fight on 4 pound test. He caught it in 5 foot of water.
We started about 8 am and left at noon and they were still biting when we left. We were using 1/8 oz grubs that were white or chartruse. We were fishing slow and near the bottom.
Thanks for the reply. I am going tommorow I will put in at Lakeside and maybe find a brush pile or two.
Looks like we are the only ones fishing Logan Martin right now. :rolleyes:
How did you do on the 12th?
I will try to go again one day next week. :D
If you have a GPS try these>>>

Tried yesterday evening in the Cropwell area and managed 5 keepers flipping a blue/chartruese jig under a few piers. Can someone recommend a strategy for this time of year. I would appreciate any suggestions, especially in the Cropwell area.
I am not one to keep a good spot a secret.Try the old green boat dock acroos from the football field.Becarefull you may not can get their now that the water is down.I caught 25 their in one hour last fall.
Thanks for the spot. Course it sounds a little late. Kinka like telling your hunting buddies where to go for a big buck (that you already shot!). Just kidding.
I was going to try again this week but it got a little cold (i'm a fair weather fisherman). I will try to go next week. The GPS sites posted by Falconsmitty I think are from alabama power fish attractant spots. I looked for some of them and found a couple. I seem to have trouble finding them. I think it is brush that is sunk. The ones that I have found are small spots. I will try to point you to a couple when I get a chance.
Oh yeah. Thanks Falconsmitty for the info. I can use all the help I can get!
Druss1906, I wish I could help but I am clueless. I fish for crappie kinda like I fish for bass. Except that I use small curly tail grubs and ultralight outfits. Most of my success has been with white grubs. Probably because I use them 99% of the time!
