Smith Lake, located just an hour north of Birmingham is a northern Alabama
fishing paradise. This 21,200-acre lake has depths of more than 200
feet and over 500 miles of shoreline. Fish are plentiful here.
The number of largemouth bass and spotted bass in Lewis Smith Lake is
extremely good. The amount of 5 year-old largemouth bass and 4 year-old
spotted bass continues to increase according to fish collections by
the Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division. Because young bass are
to be too abundant, anglers are asked to keep bass less than 13 inches
long in order to encourage the growth of the remaining bass.
Smith Lake is known among Alabama lakes for being home to huge striped
bass. Fish in the 40+ pound range have been caught, and it’s only
a matter of time before a record breaking 50-pounder is caught, perhaps
buy a vacationing angler out to grab a little glory out on Alabama’s
Lewis Smith Lake. |
