Tiawasee Creek near Spanish Fort: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Alabama holds Tiawasee Creek, in Baldwin County. The country round it is open low country from end to end. It lies lower than most water we list in Alabama. The closest town, Spanish Fort, is 1.9 miles away. Beyond it, Daphne at 3.2 miles and Fairhope at 8.8 miles. Others worth noting: Justins Bay at 3.1 miles, Foxfire Lake out at 3.9 miles, Devils Hole at 7.5 miles, Lake Raynagua out at 10 miles and Coopers Lake at 13 miles. No border sits close enough to matter.

• Where to Fish on Tiawasee Creek

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Gravel runs and silted pools fish quite differently, so treat them apart. The outside of each bend cuts deepest and holds the better fish. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, spotted gar, warmouth and redspotted sunfish. Use it to know what is possible here, not what is certain. On Tiawasee Creek that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 81°F in July and bottoms out near 50°F in January. Winter is simply the pleasant end of an unbroken season. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Time your trip to Tiawasee Creek by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. A toilet block sits half a mile away. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Justins Bay sits 3.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Rules at Tiawasee Creek are worth checking on the day.
