Right before the Tennessee River flooded the bite on Pickwick was on fire. Water was low but if you could find any grass in channels that was 5-7ft it was game over.

I was able to put together a 13-3 limit on a tough day by focusing on secondary rounded points with chunk rock or gravel in coves protected from the wind. The fish seemed to be stacked on these points as they staged to make their way to the back of the coves to spawn. A cold front and high winds kept the water cool and slowed down the bite. Working the jig across and down the points repeatedly was key.

Get you a white swimbait with a 3/4oz head and cast up the current seam with a slow reel! If you are getting hung that’s a good thing. Just means you are in the juice.
