Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Auburn
Auburn, Alabama fishing revolves around a diverse mix of big reservoirs, flowing river water, and easily accessed park lakes. Most visiting anglers focus on Lake Martin and the Tallapoosa River corridor, then fill in with quick trips to Chewacla State Park Lake and local community ponds for fast action and easy bank access.
For largemouth and spotted bass, spring is prime time around Auburn. On Lake Martin, work secondary points, pea-gravel pockets, and shallow docks with shakey heads, finesse worms, and small green pumpkin jigs as water temps climb into the 60s. Spotted bass stack on rocky points and bluff ends; a 3.5–4" swimbait on a ball head, underspins, and drop-shots with baitfish colors catch numbers and size. In the Tallapoosa River arms, target current breaks, eddies, and wood with spinnerbaits and squarebills on rising water, then slow down with Texas-rigged creature baits as levels stabilize.
Summer pushes bass deeper on Lake Martin, especially the spots. Focus on offshore humps, timber edges, and long tapering points in 20–35 feet. Use drop-shots, Carolina rigs, and football jigs, checking your electronics for bait and suspended fish. Night fishing becomes extremely productive; slow-roll a black spinnerbait along rocky banks, throw big dark worms on Texas rigs, and fish lighted docks with weightless stickbaits. In smaller waters like Chewacla Lake, bass slide to the first drop from the bank and shade; wacky rigs, small jigs, and weightless flukes pitched tight to cover work best.
Striped and hybrid bass are a major draw on Lake Martin and the Tallapoosa system. In spring, look for surface activity in the major creek arms and main-lake flats at dawn and dusk. Cast topwaters, walking baits, and bucktail jigs into breaking fish. As the water warms, use your graph to find suspended schools over channels and humps; vertically jigging spoons and working 4–6" soft swimbaits through the schools is highly effective. Summer often calls for early-morning trolling with downlines or leadcore to keep baits at the correct depth range.
Crappie fishing near Auburn peaks in late winter through spring on brush piles, docks, and bridge pilings in Lake Martin’s creeks. Tight-line 1/16–1/32 oz jigs with tube or curly-tail plastics around isolated brush in 8–15 feet. On calm, sunny days, shoot small jigs under docks with at least 4–6 feet of water. In summer, crappie slide deeper; target standing timber and deeper brush with vertical presentations and small minnows or downsized plastics.
Catfish and panfish provide reliable action for Auburn families and casual anglers. Channel cats and blue cats hold on channel bends, riprap, and around river confluences; cut shad, chicken liver, and prepared baits fished on Carolina rigs get consistent bites, especially at night. Bluegill, redear (shellcracker), and other bream are abundant in Chewacla Lake, community ponds, and sheltered Lake Martin coves. In late spring and early summer, look for bedding bream on sandy pockets and shoreline flats; fish red worms, crickets, or tiny jigs under a float for fast-paced action.
Bank anglers around Auburn can do well by focusing on points, riprap, bridges, and fishing piers at dawn and dusk. Keep tackle simple: a medium spinning outfit with 8–10 lb mono for bass and panfish, plus a heavier catfish rod with 15–20 lb line. Boat anglers gain a big advantage on Lake Martin by learning to read electronics, graphing humps and channel swings before ever making a cast. Across all these waters, match lure size and color to the clarity—smaller and more natural in Lake Martin’s clear water, slightly larger and more visible in stained river sections and ponds.

Beaches and Bays are ideal places for land-based fishing. If the beach is shallow and the water is clear then twilight times are usually the best times, especially when they coincide with a major or minor fishing time. Often the points on either side of a beach are the best spots. Or if the beach is large then look for irregularities in the breaking waves, indicating sandbanks and holes. We found 1 beaches and bays in this area.
