Spring is hitting its stride on the Mobile-Tensaw, and this week’s report is packed with real-time insight from anglers who’ve been on the water.Justin Dunnam breaks down a near-win kayak tournament on Bay Minette Creek, where a rising tide, backwater ponds, and missed frog strikes made the difference between first and third. He shares exactly how he approached pressured water and why timing the tide mattered more than location.Matthew Frazier gives a major update on Big Creek Lake, which just reopened after a long and controversial closure. He walks through what access looks like right now, what’s still being fought over, and what anglers can expect if they plan to fish it this weekend.Dip McMillian rounds things out with a strong crappie report from the Tensaw side, where post-spawn fish are stacking tight to structure in 6 to 10 feet of water. He explains how he’s finding them, why he’s ignoring suspended fish, and the exact jig setup that’s producing right now.If you’re trying to figure out where the bite is, how spring patterns are shifting, or what changing conditions mean for your next trip, this one’s worth your time.SPONSORSDixie Building SupplyBlack BuffaloSlipSki
