Lake Demopolis, Black Warrior River Fishing Report

Night Fishing

I left the Demopolis Landing at about 9:45 pm and arrived at the Black Warrior River bridge and anchored my 962 War Eagle boat on the down stream side of the bridge pilings at around 10:00 pm. I lowered my evening secret fishing weapon down into the water and opened a Sprite as I was getting my rods out of the rod storage box. I used 2 medium action spin cast rod and reel sets spooled with 20lb. test mono Stren line. One rod was set up as a drop shot rig and the other was set up with a slip bobber float, weight and hook. I started out with 1/8 lb. of crappie minnows for bait to fish with. By 10:30 pm I had thousands of shad and river minnows circling counter clock wise around my evening secret fishing weapon. I fished the drop shot rig starting on the bottom and slowly reeling it up one crank at a time with about 5 min. in between cranks, buit I had to put it into the rod holder to get a fish off of the float set up, it was a spotted bass that weighed about 3 lbs. Long story made short, By 12:30 am, I caught 26 crappie, 7 bass, 4 catfish and three stripes and had my 20 lb. test Stren line broke 3 times by either a large stripe bass or big catfish, don't know which. So, if you want to catch a lot of fish in a short period of time, go to this site and check it out - http://www.systemsalesmachine.com/app/?af=802116.
