Reply With QuoteGood crappie in Lake Purdy. Lake is really down right now and only 30-35% full. The fish could be concentrated.

Crappie lakes around birmingham/trussville area
I am going to visit some friends in Trussville in two weeks and would like to take the boat to do a little crappie fishing while I'm there. Anything within an hour to try out ? I think I read lake Purdy was close with good crappie fishing.

Just an FYI, Lake Purdy does not allow private boats (Lake Purdy). They have rentals and as H.M. Slab says, they could be concentrated. From Trussville, Logan Martin is 45 minutes away and is a good crappie lake. Neely Henry would be about 1.5 hours and Weiss 2 hours. Keep in mind that bad drought plus winter draw down has the Coosa River system down. It would be advisable to have decent electronics on your rig.

Like everyone said Logan Martin is close but Neely Henry has been better this fall.

I work with the state and know a bit about this situation (Drought) that you are speaking of.
It is true what they say about Drought and fish being concentrated at this time. Try the deep parts of the lake, and seek structures 20'-30' ft down.
This Drought will stay in effect until we get about 15 hours of constant rain. It's been over 40 days in most counties since rain.
Note, if you do go out to Purdy, go about 2 miles out to the right and try the Solar Bees.

It looks like I will try Logan Martin since I don't have a lot of time and will launch at riverside I believe is the name. Any creeks or coves near by or should I fish in the main lake?

If launching at Riverside you should fish the river channels. There are a lot of places around there with cover along the channels. I fish a lot at the mouth of Choccolocco Creek which is about 5 miles down river from Riverside. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
