Location: Joe Wheeler Marina- Wheeler Lake - Alabama

Time: 9:30 AM - Dark
Air Temperature: 60-65 degrees
Water Temperature: 52
Lake Level: 551.2'
Weather Conditions: Morning rain moved out.  Went fishing afterwards.

This is only my 2nd time on Joe Wheeler.  Spent much of my time exploring.  Fished east side rock banks and marked some good brush.  Spent a lot of time fishing boat docks at the marina.  Spotted good big fish marks on the fish finder.  Catfish!!  Caught 3 catfish around the boat slips feeding on a bait ball.  I was using minnows and Bobby Garland 2" swimming minnows. 

Lots of bluegill around the bank and drop off in 14' to 18' of water.  Caught one crappie there.  Caught a couple drum in the area. 

Moved to target points and mouths.  Spotted some fish that turned out to be drum.  At dawn, moved towards the mouth of the main bay where it meets the lake.  Lots of activity in the center of the bay around 28' of water.  Need to try there again.
