hey man have been busy busy busy....if i was going to bass fish two of the best areas i have fished there are, when you leave the store at the ramp go directly to the right, you'll cross a small pocket to the right, back towards where the trout pond is, go straight across the mouth of that pocket and head towards the point that should be in front of you at this time...there is a brush pile on this point, the old maps used to show it, fairly easy to find, but best served from a boat, as bank anglers would be a pretty good cast, the bottom structure here is a firm rocky bottom, and the brush is in 8-12 foot of water.....
the second place that has alway been a good spot for us is the far back right-hand corner (SW corner) going into the canal that leads to the spillway, i have done best on that point on the right going in, the side closest to the deep water and the open lake side....i'll try to run through and pick up a map if they still have them available and scan it in with the places i have fished....
as far as baits, i'd say a med diving crank bait, c-rig lizard in the 8-10 water should yield you some fish....some years the fish have moved up to spawn a little sooner than the areas larger lakes...the people at the store will give you some ideas
...
during this time i'd hit the pockets straight across from the ramp

Those picture's are nice. I'm trying to figure out what lake it is. I'm not to far from you
hey Miles, is everyone in your family OK, it was terible what was going on in your homeland...hoping all is well, and had thought about you and the misses families...Madison county lake is a real little gem...between New market and Gurley....in years past it has served as my "practice lake" it is an easy and enjoyable little lake to fish 110+/- acres.....there have been some changes, the lake was drained several years ago because of an un-controlled crappie population...they do a pretty good job of keeping the balance of fish pretty good...years ago i had caught some bass to 7-8 pounds, i have heard that now it not uncommon to catch several 3-5# fish, and every now and then a good 6+ fish...
pm me you cell...mine took a swim last year, and i have added what numbers i could, we need to get together and catch a few...BTW last year on guntersville was great
