Lake Martin is a beautiful lake. The south end is clear and the north end more stained depending the time of year. Great spotted bass fishery year round.
Thats one fish i need to cross off my list. I did hit smallmouth bass In Alabama but that took a whole year to find. Seams like fishing here in Florida is much better
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS both states have a very diverse fishery and are good. There are large spotted bass in Lewis Smith Lake, All Coosa River Lakes, and Lake Martin. You have a lot of options in Alabama as well as Fla. tight lines my friend!
Martina, you're partially right. Lake Martin covers a vast amount of land (44,000 acres). Do you know what else was in that vast amount of land? White townships too. No one ever talks about the sister city to Kowaliga, Susanna. Or maybe Ozella, B*M, and Rover. Stop believing the lie that blacks were targeted. THEY WERE NOT, rather, the dam destroyed black and white townships.
Here is the history that you asked for... The general region in the 1920s was not as bustling as portrayed on RU-vid. People always claim Alabama Power was targeting Black people and Black towns by flooding the homes. This is false. Rather, there were many more white townships and a white population in the Lake Martin area than blacks. Alabama Power warned the inhabitants of the Tallassee river area. They didn't just flood the townships without warning. The dam was built to build clean energy, keep Tallassee City from flooding, and generate needed electricity. While it was unjust for Alabama Power to destroy all those black and white communities, they did warn the inhabitants.
At the beginning of your video you show a gorgeous sandy beach and you are watching some jet skiers. What part of Lake Martin is that in? Also about half way through you mention an area where the water is more murky/ cloudy where is that?
@@anthonyswanson4078 we are told growing up. The history has been maintained orally. In previous generations, if we spoke about this locally, things would suspiciously happen to us that spoke out.
It wasn't only a black community. So don't go around saying it was the white man vs black man. It wasn't. Rather, it was 1920s Americans trying to build clean energy, keep Tallassee city from flooding, and generate needed electricity. While it was unjust for Alabama Power to destroy all those black and white communities, they did warn the inhabitants.
Not necessarily, AL. Power warned the inhabitants they didn't just flood the townships without warning. The dam was built to build clean energy, keep Tallassee city from flooding, and generate needed electricity. While it was unjust for Alabama Power to destroy all those black and white communities, they did warn the inhabitants.

I cannot imagine eating all that food knowing dead bodies, lost souls and a entire town are buried right at the bottom of that lake, formerly known as Kowaliga, Alabama ... a successful Black community, with the First Black owned Railroad, Universities and other successfully owned black business... only to be taken over by the Alabama Power Company and flooded out... never to be mentioned in U.S. history.
@@FLORIDAHOODVLOGS I was looking for videos to see the town of Kowaliga, Alabama which was flooded out in 1926 and the only thing that keeps coming up on this site is People Sailing, Visiting Lake Martin. Even when people posted the History of lake martin it doesn't date back to the true history. Please do your research on this town and others like Lake Lanier and pass your knowledge on to others. So, that Their history doesn't continue to be flooded out and buried. Respect and Love to you! God Bless!
