Largemouth BassTechniqueBladed JigsSeasonWinterStructureRip RapDrove around trying to find shad around seagulls but to no avail. I switched and started paralleling rip rap with chatter bait. Caught fish in 5 feet of water where there was a slight rounded point protruding from rip rap. I caught another bass about 100 yards down bank on Alabama rig. TVA was filling reservoir up as water was flowing into cove as I passed under bridge. Had another bass follow my rattle trap on grass flats.

Started with swim baits around edge of grass beds. No success. Then moved to running a frog over grass. Nothing. Moved down river to try damiki rig over old bridges. Still no bites. Wind was from east 5-8 mph. Nice cold wind as well. I put on gold Rapala 6 inch jerk bait. Caught only fish by working windward bank.
