99 km of the Tombigbee River navigation corridor, with channel depths from USACE hydrographic survey. The river tops out around 70 ft. The depth chart is built from real state fisheries GPS surveys, so the humps, channels and drop-offs you see are measured, not guessed. What follows comes from the same scoring engine that paints the spots above.
Drawn out, this is 143,848 acres of water rimmed by 290.2 miles of bank. An index of 5.5 puts the bank firmly in maze territory: point after pocket after cove, every one a casting target. The shallow band under 15 ft claims about 42% of the surface — that's where the groceries are. Figure 62.1 mi of water from one end to the other, 23.5 mi at the beam. Closest neighbour on DepthScout: Black Warrior River - Reach 1 of 2, 37 mi northeast of here.
In spring, rainbow trout run shallow here, mostly 5 to 20 ft. Summer pushes them deeper, 8 to 30 ft, and winter fish settle into 8 to 40 ft. Current seam (mile 65.9) is the standout, a current seam at roughly 15 ft, rated prime for spring rainbow trout. Time it for early morning and the evening. You won't need more than a dodger + spoon (deep troll) or a flutter spoon most summer days.
| Season | Depth | Best window | Start at | Go-to baits |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Spring | 5 to 20 ft | dawn & dusk | Current seam (mile 65.9) (15 ft) | Inline spinner (silver), Small spoon |
| Summer | 8 to 30 ft | dawn & dusk | Channel current seam (mile 2.6) (26 ft) | Dodger + spoon (deep troll), Flutter spoon |
| Fall | 10 to 35 ft | dawn & dusk | Channel current seam (mile 2.6) (26 ft) | Casting spoon, Jerkbait over shoals |
| Winter | 8 to 40 ft | dawn | Channel current seam (mile 2.6) (26 ft) | Jigging spoon, Tube jig (white) |
Early season spotted bass use the shallows, holding in 5 to 20 ft. Expect a summer slide to 15 to 40 ft, then a winter hold in 25 to 50 ft. Put Channel bar / point (mile 62.1) first on the milk run — a point near 38 ft that grades prime for summer. In summer the feeding windows fall in early morning and the evening. Tie on a drop shot over brush or an underspin + fluke (schoolers) and you're in the game.
