I have been trying Alabama rigs for a few years now with very minimal success. Most of this time has been spent on the CA Central Valley lakes (New Melones & Don Predo) and I have really struggled with these. I have fished them fast, slow, uphill, downhill. Does anyone have any recommendations? For anyone unfamiliar with these lakes they are larger deep water reservoirs with large mouth and spotted bass predominately. Bonus, if anyone has any lake Shasta suggestions with the A-rig, I would love to hear them. Thanks!
