This from the AL State Parks website: Lake Jackson is considered one of the cleanest and clearest bodies of water in the state. The lake supports fishing, boating, swimming, and water-skiing. A boat launch and piers provide access to the water for fishermen hoping to land that big bass.

It is very very clear. I have fished it and it is very tough fishing.

Fished it before and used the launch next to the jet. We caught crappie and bass out of a really deep hole that was straight across from the launch. It's a small hole and we were happy we picked it up on the fishfinder. We were only targeting crappie with minnows.

so is there a launch on the florida side or on Ala? What kind of depth and structure is there? What would I use to target bass? such as drop shot or the flick shake presentation ? Cranks ? crappie jigs? Would I need to use 4lb test, or can you get away with a little heaver line?
Just tryin to get an idea of what to take and use to have a successful trip.

Not if u launch in Bama.... I'd fish around the south/east side in the junipers if I were u...

I agree with RR and Jason, both are spot on with their statements.

I'd think hard about using light florocarbon line or at least leader, and scale down sizes of what you would use somewhere the waters not so clear.
