Life on the edge. That's the way it was described to me when I was learning how to fish the Tennessee River lakes. It's a simple pattern that can be done on any part of the lake. The lower the water the better. If its high the bass will get up on the flats and roam, making them harder to locate. Bass will position themselves up against the drops of the river and creek channels. The "edge" is what I was targeting, right where the drop starts is usually where the bite happens when throwing big swimbaits. Keep the boat in the channel, throw up on the flat at a 45⁰ angle and work the glide bait slowly along the edge. It works the same in both the river and creeks. You do need fairly clear water for the big baits, but the same approach can be used with jigs, jerkbaits, paddle tail swimbaits, and even a ned rig.
