When Flint Davis accidentally crashed into another fishing boat, killing three of its occupants back in April, we all knew it would shake the fishing world to its core. But the impact of the recent indictment in the case was actually far greater than anyone expected.

Latest Reports from Alabama Lakes
Two feet below full pool
As usual, small bass are easy to catch. They're biting a variety of baits on the ends of points and already chasing baitfish into the creeks in some areas. A Dirty Jigs Scott Canterbury Pro Buzzbait with a toad body has been producing a lot of fish, along with ChatterBaits and Whopper Ploppers. Shaky heads will often produce a 50- to 60-bass day, but your best five might not weigh 6 pounds. The water is still a bit warm for crappie fishing, but a few are being caught around the bridge pilings on minnows. Crappie are huddled up around deep brushpiles (15-20 feet) as well, but they've been hard to catch.
Steve Ingram and Beau McCrary won the Wind Creek Bass Trail Tournament on Oct. 11 with 13.10 pounds.

Specifically made for soft-plastic toads and swimbaits, the Dirty Jigs Scott Canterbury Pro Buzz Version 2 is skirtless and features a unique reversed cone shaped head, which locks soft plastics in place and holds them straight to run perfectly true. Every bite on this lure is an event!
A basic stickbait that doesn't look like much in your hand. But when attached to a Z-Man Ned Rig if provides the perfect bite-size morsel for bass — especially highly pressured bass that may turn up their noses at larger baits.
The Berkley Swamp Lord Hollow Body Frog represents the pinnacle of topwater fishing, promising an enthralling fishing experience cast after cast with its medium 2.6-inch, 2/3-ounce presentation. A sealed hook shank and body chamber minimizes water intrusion for a more efficient and uninterrupted topwater frog fishing experience.
