Post frontal conditions. Bass were not chasing much. Targeted creek channel swings with boulders and big chunk rock. Also caught some on top close to the dam once they started moving shad to the surface.

All the big balls of shad were in about 20’ of water per the side scan. Was able to scope a couple of small mouth with the Alabama rig. All others were on a single rage swimmer around rip rap and chunk rock. Nothing of any size though. Next cold snap should really change the game out here old son! #funkeeeeeefisherman

Cold and foggy with some rain most of the day. Once the weather broke and the sun came out the smallmouth really turned on . Any brush in 10-15’ of water should have catchable fish.

If you can find what the Bass are holding on you can get into them pretty good. They are hard to find but forward facing sonar helps. The ones we found were in 15-20 feet. An A-rig worked and so did the Megabass Ito Vision One Ten + 1 in Pearl White.
