Bite slowed once the sun came up until the cloud cover rolled over and the swimbait bite started up. Had several fish in the 3-5 lb range swirl at the cullshad and managed to boat a few. Will have a couple more colors next time I go out to see if a slight change will make a few more commit.

Post frontal conditions. Bass were not chasing much. Targeted creek channel swings with boulders and big chunk rock. Also caught some on top close to the dam once they started moving shad to the surface.

The fish are moving up on beds but I think the best is still to come. Look for fish on nests around lay downs or other cover.

All the big balls of shad were in about 20’ of water per the side scan. Was able to scope a couple of small mouth with the Alabama rig. All others were on a single rage swimmer around rip rap and chunk rock. Nothing of any size though. Next cold snap should really change the game out here old son! #funkeeeeeefisherman
