Hey guys never been to logan martin before. I have a small budy tourney their on Jan 9th out of lakeside landing. We have about 8 boats in the tourney. Any ideas on what to throw or what depths to throw in? Jerkbaits? Jigs? Cranks? or Docks? Last question if you were putting in their would you go up river or down? Any help is greatly appreciated! Happy New Year!
first off draw a line from 33deg30'20"N, 86deg13'29"W to the submerged boulder at 33deg30'14"N, 86deg13'23"W and work that line til 11/noon with a crank. That'll get ya a limit in spots.
Then go to 33deg31'36"N, 86deg13'49"W and throw a shakey head, Bama Bug finesse worm toward the dock for some LMs.
Good Luck!,....feel free to contact me for any additional pics of locations you might need.

Not much of a Logan Martin guy, but I drove by it the other day and it looks like the water is down a pretty good bit. I have never fished there in January, but I have had some real good days with a Rat-L-Trap around some of those small little islands in February. Logan Martin is different from Lay, Mitchell, and Jordan in the aspect you dont see alot of structure on the banks other than boat docks and sea walls. There is plenty of off shore stuff if you know where it is. Without knowing the river good, I would advise you stay below the 20/59 bridge. With the water being low, it can be a little tricky above there if you dont pay close attention.

Wow thanks for the info Rick! They may cancel due to the weather but I kind of hope we still have the torney I got me a heater! The talk is 18-33 degrees down that way sat!
If the wind is blowing 15 to 20 mph it will not stay lite. At less mind won't.

we're forcasting 10 in Auburn Saturday morning and 7 in Elba which is further south....if it were me, i'd stay in the bed. this past Saturday it was in the 20's with 20mph winds and the fishing was TOUGH....
Those dang weather guys have changed the forcast temps 4 times in two days! We have our club meeting tonight I am going to recomend waiting till about Thursday or Friday to make the call on wether or not we will fish? Man as of right now that bed sure is looking nice!
Last Saturday we had a open Tournament on Lake Tuscaloosa and it was 28 degrees with what was supposed to be 6 mph winds. It didn't get above freezing until after lunch and the wind was blowing so hard that you couldn't feel the bait hitting the bottom.
I've heard the high is supposed to be in single digits Sat morning so my recommendation would be to lay up in bed and stay warm or go take that heater to a shooting house.

Canceled our tourney due to the cold temps! Thank goodness! Got to go down on the 23rd instead. If any has any ideas between now and then feel free to share. Roll Tide!!
There is always a 6 week wintertime window on Logan Martin when the orange shad rap is the hot bait. That time is right now. Find some rocks that are on the sunny side of the lake and throw it all day. You have to bang it into the rocks in 6'-8'. You will get 5 good ones if you can do it all day.
