Started with swim baits around edge of grass beds. No success. Then moved to running a frog over grass. Nothing. Moved down river to try damiki rig over old bridges. Still no bites. Wind was from east 5-8 mph. Nice cold wind as well. I put on gold Rapala 6 inch jerk bait. Caught only fish by working windward bank.

Did not get any in boat, but had 4 good blow ups in grass. Had to get back into grass using channels where mats are breaking up. Strong smell of bluegill and lots of fish activity near boat. Fishing remaining grass beds near main channel that were still green.

Drove around trying to find shad around seagulls but to no avail. I switched and started paralleling rip rap with chatter bait. Caught fish in 5 feet of water where there was a slight rounded point protruding from rip rap. I caught another bass about 100 yards down bank on Alabama rig. TVA was filling reservoir up as water was flowing into cove as I passed under bridge. Had another bass follow my rattle trap on grass flats.
