Coosa River Guide Service - Lay Lake, Alabama. The striped bass bite has picked up lately thanks to recent rains. Numbers are good and the afternoon is the best bite. Live bait fished on down lines or free lines are working best right now. Coosa River bass guide Joey V. reports spotted bass and largemouth fishing has picked up too. Early morning and late afternoons when there running water are the best time to land quality fish. The spotted bass are deep and finesse style baits have been key.
