SPRING SPAWN- 2008

A blustery day does not even describe the kind of afternoon guest of the Hardy Corporation, out of Birmingham, contended with. But inspite of the bone chilling winds, everyone was able to catch fish. Shown here with his 8 lb. 4 oz. bass, Howard Hunn, with Brasfield Gorrie, won the second day fishing pot for the largest fish caught and he also landed a 6 lb. 9 oz. bass for good measure.

SPAWNING BASS!

Tim Stubbs from Birmingham took advantage of an approaching cold front to pull this sow bass off the bed. Weighing in at over 10 pounds, this bass had practically worn her tail down fanning a bed full of future bass. With a 27 inch length this would have been even a more impressive fish pre-spawn. Thank you Central Supply for this opportunity!

FIVE POUNDS- PLUS

Mark Harry, with Marathon Electric, didn't bank on unseasonably cold temperatures when he came as a guest of the Hardy Corporation for a fishing trip, but he managed to stay warm working up his own heat hooking bass feeding before the front pushed through.

Fishing at Leavellwood

If you are a novice or even a professional angler you will be able to test your skills on trophy bass and bream in one of our beautiful man-made lakes. Each lake has its own unique design with a variety of underwater structures that offer many opportunities to hook a truly big one.

We now have over 100 acres of lakes and each lake is equipped with concrete boat launches and offer covered boat houses and electrical hook-ups. You can bring your own boat if you want or fish in one of the fully rigged bass boats provided here at Leavellwood.

Each lake is stocked with Florida hybrids and F1, commonly known as the Tiger or Gorilla bass. The F1 is a cross between the Florida and the Northern bass. This breed is a larger more aggressive bass than the typical full northern. They will typically bite when the big Florida' bass are less active. In addition, our lakes are stocked with truly large bream that offer their own brand of excitement when fishing with either light weight tackle or a fly rod.

We maintain an intense fertilizer program in all of our lakes to promote a healthy food chain to provide our fish with the highest and best food source possible. In addition, we add other species of forage fish in the spring to promote added growth and weight gain in our young and growing bass. Throughout and around each of the lakes you will notice automatic feeders that go off numerous times each day supplying the fish with an additional high protein food source. Add underwater and top water aerators to this and you have created an environment that is optimal in producing truly large and aggressive bass for your catching enjoyment.

Over the years we have made our share of mistakes and gained our share of experience to find out what it truly takes to create a bass fishing environment. Our lakes get plenty of rest, fishing only about six or months out of the year. Only a limited number of anglers are on the lakes at any one time and only limited days are fished each week. We have hosted Hank Parker, Denny Brauer, Jimmy Houston, Shaw Grigsby, Woo Daves, Roland Martin, Bass Masters, ESPN and the Outdoor Channel here, just to name a few. Over 30 TV shows have been produced right here on the lakes at Leavellwood.

Call for references ---talk to our customers who have fished here. Ask them how many fish they caught and how often their rods were bent and their lines TIGHT! We fish from March through June and September until December.

We specialize in personalized service both on and off the lakes. The only thing you have to do is relax and enjoy!
