River Channels
As the lake rises in the spring follow the river channels up the lake. Steep ledges make for deeper water fast and throwing a spinnerbait is a great way to intercept bass when they are on the move.

Docks
Many of the permanent docks provide great cover for bass if they remain in the shallow waters. Throw the jig all around them, there is no wrong place to throw a jig. Black/Blue is a standard color.

River Channels
In the spring time as the water starts to rise, the striped and white bass follow the rising water up the creek channel where they will spawn. Follow along the channel while making casts near the drop-offs on either side with small/medium spinnerbaits.

During the summer, bass like to hang out on the shade side of docks throughout the day. Black/blue or Brown colors seem to work best. I like throwing with a craw trailer.
