Turn off the channel for a slower pace

Work a weedless worm beside backwater wood for largemouth bass. Around brush, a small crappie jig lets you fish above the snag instead of pulling a hook through every branch. Start with the outside edge, especially where a short cast gives you better control.

Oliver Dam's tailwater is at this lake's upstream end. Below Selden, you're in the Demopolis pool. Those names are worth checking before choosing a launch or meeting another angler.
