I hear ya bama went out tonight for a while it 56 degrees when we hit the water and about 48 after the sun went down no luck for the night got skunked for the first time in a while . I think even if the fish were biting I would have missed it due to frozen finger tips .

I've been keeping the boat in 10-14 ft of water and this week the fish are about 10 feet off the bank, in 3-5 feet of water, near wood.

[tnfisherman]

well i dont hve much wood to fish b/c the lake is like 20-25 feet below full pool,,, and there pulling water every day ,,,sunday night they droped the lake 2 foot

[JB]

anytime they lower the lake go to the lakes points or secondary pts

[tnfisherman]

would creeks that run in be any good to fish around

[JB]

this time of year if you see shad in them I'd hit a creek in a heart beat!
if you can get in them that is...

[bamabassman]

YES tnfisherman. hit those creeks AHRD pal. and like jb said watch for the shad. that is how we are catching em. when the bass round up a herd of shad....it's like a hot tub on the lake. throw a chrome with blue back rattle trap or a rooster tail or a white/chartruse spinner.

[tnfisherman]

ok thanks ill have to try that

[carolina-rig-01]

jb mentioned a x-rap and i agree........keep a jerkbait handy, especially as the water gets a little cooler.

[tnfisherman]
