Central & NE Alabama Locations Needed

[jreach]

Hey guys, live about 5 miles from Logan Martin, and I enjoy fishing that body of water but as a Kayak fisherman I am also on the lookout for small bodies of water to fish.  Any recommendations on some small bodies of water an hour or so away would be greatly appreciated.  I don't mind doing a bit of trekking and portaging to get to a spot especially if it is a spot that is vacant of power boats and PWC's....not that I have an issue with that at all, just when my yak has a 1hp motor (me) calm water is fast water

 

Also any tips on getting permission to fish small ponds I may find on google maps etc... I want to always be the guy that does the right thing and not assume its ok and trespass on someones private lake.

 

Cheers!

I’m in the same area as you, apparently.

 

Theres a few spots around the area.

Thanks -Coach, any places you would be willing to recommend. I have only done Coosa/Logan Martin so far and am in process of planning a trip on Cheaha Creek.

Thanks in advance.

Are you familiar with highway 77 between Lincoln and Talladega?

 

There is a pull off at the bridge, I never see much traffic there. 

 

What about Stemley Road? I don’t think many people go out of Poor House Marina now since they’ve closed the bridge  for repairs since August.
