    There is little to no visible vegetation on the surface, and water clarity is about 50 percent due to frequent heavy rains over the past month. Feeder creeks with depths of 4-8 feet with banks of flooded timber on the Upper Pearl are holding fish, some with good size. Swimming jigs with the head blades will get decent bites on a medium retrieve. Bumping the jigs over fallen timber or submerged structure is working well right now. Spinnerbaits are getting a few bites, but nothing consistent. Overcast days produce the most bites right now, and sticking to a hot area seems to work best. Not much running up the river at this point. A few stops and that takes up most of our day.
