Hard fishing with the water being about flood stage and with all the rain in the areas that come into Douglas. I think if they lower the lake back to summer pool the bass should start the biting again .

SpeciesLargemouth BassTechniqueHard Topwater (Walking)SeasonSpring (Post-Spawn)StructureBaitfishFished the BFL as a co-angler out of Dandridge. We started close to the ramp sitting in 20 to 30 feet of water. My Boater was live scoping fish so I was fan casting to busting fish in the back with the Shower blow. Caught my 1st keeper on my second cast. Had 3 others miss my bait so followed up with a Caffeine shad which they would hit on the fall. Caught my second keeper burning a Strike King Hybrid hunter through schooling fish. Ended the day with 3 keepers and caught Several smallmouths on topwater.
