Water has just been drawn down 8-10' in High Rock for maintenance. Made it difficult to navigate up river, so spent the majority of my time in and below Second Creek. Shallower depths made for colder temps in the morning, as low as 49 degrees in the back of coves, but also made it awesome for mapping points, channels, culverts, rocks and stumps for normal water levels. Found many large bait balls, but bass were fairly docile (or maybe just for me). My only luck came fishing in 5-10' of water along Rip Rap near bridges on a small Chatterbait. Otherwise, a lot of bumps on football jigs and drop shot without any real bites. Water will be down through December so I encourage anyone who can to go out and map some waypoints!

Water is very murky and muddy. I had the most success reeling at a steady pace, just keeping contact with the bottom, with a short pause after contact with a rock or stump. Almost like you would fish a crankbait.

Found the Shad getting chowed on in the middle of a creek arm and once I used the Flash Mob Jr. it was on, we caught over 30 lmb in about 3 hours, very few over 3lbs
