I’ve been subscribed for a while now and had no idea you were from Wetumpka. I’m a FF in Montgomery and just spent the past 2 weeks in the Coosa certifying other FF’s in swift water rescue. I love the Coosa!

[@BamaBeachBum]

That’s awesome!

[@FishingtheThinBlueLine]

Great video, Matt! Thanks for sharing this with us! Stay Safe and Healthy!!

[@moneyshot68]

Crazy didn’t know you are from Wetumpka. Been watching your vids a long time but guess I missed the hometown. I’m from Montgomery spent many days on the Tallapoosa. Just moved to Foley and trying my salt legs now. Hope to see you on the beach. Great video as always.

[@michaelanderson5747]

The creeks here in Indiana are loaded with spots, great fun on light or ultra light gear. A half pounder on an UL with a micro hard bait will give anyone all the fight you want.

[@barbg9986]

Great video as always! Nice catch!

It's always good Bum to go back home to see the family and do some fishing. U caught some really nice Spots!!!! Another great Bama Bum vid!!!!❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👍👍👍🎣🎣🎣

THE BUM LIVES!

[@VISUAL-LY]

I was just there a month ago visiting family. Transported my kayak from Florida and fished downstream along the edges. Made a video out of it but caught nothing but catfish throwing soft plastics. Should I have stayed closer to the dam? Or maybe fished more in the center of the river/deeper water? Great video as always!

[@BamaBeachBum]

It probably just depends, but I’ve noticed more of the striper hang closer to the dam in the fastest moving water.

I see that Alabama Power still likes to run water through that far turbine. I never had a rod that could bomb a lure out far enough to get in that current where the big stripers hang out.

Nice to see you up here in the northeast, I’m from NY been grabbing my salt license from Maine to NJ so I can explore the coast line for some ocean fishing. Like to bring something home to do a catch and cook and fill the freezer.

@@BamaBeachBum you don’t happen to have some shareable spots along the coast a guy could try do you and what to use for a setup wether tossing bait out or a swim bait. I got some of those ones from Saltstrong to try when I get the chance to go. You can PM me if you don’t want to share on here.

I live around Chelsea. I'm not to far from The Coosa River lakes, and below each dam is some of the best fresh water fishing anywhere. We are blessed with magnum Spots and more stripers than you can catch in a lifetime. Good luck.

That spillway made me think that it was the pier fishing version of freshwater fishing. I wonder how a spoon would go being tossed across there? Maybe sink and pop, sink and pop. I've never fished in the US but I think I like spots and small mouth over large mouth. Just better looking fish in general and more aggressive, pound for pound from what I've seen from KZbin and talking to American fishermen.

[@BamaBeachBum]

Spoons work great in these areas. The day I made this video there was a guy down from me crushing white bass on a spoon.
