Mike, So sorry to hear about dad we will be thinking about him and you also. I lost my dad in 1996 and mother last year in Oct. (just before SEBCOG) so I know what you are going through. It will be a very trying time just be strong and hang in there. Hope Im not to late on the report but I just got home from hospital with a niece who had surgery. I have had a little health problem myself so I have not fished a lot. Logan Martin is down about 3.5 which is normal this time of year. Temp varies 62 to 68 deg. depending on sunny or cloudy, mostly clear due to little to no rain. I have been catching mostly spots and they are shallow 1 to 5. Some guys catching on small crank bait, I use spinner bait (home made cant buy) mostly in the fall, top water has not been good for me. This is getting long send me a PM if you get this before you leave and I will give you my cell number to call me. Mackey PS sgt93 says winter sucks. But it never gets to cold to fish in Alabama
