Largemouth BassTechniqueUmbrella RigsSeasonWinterStructureBrush PilesLake dropped 5 degrees since last weekend and today was post front conditions. Bite was tough, lots of chasers and few takers. Managed a few LMB live scoping brush piles and throwing an A rig. Had to slow roll it. No smallie takers today.

Fished for a few hours today. Main focus was hitting main lake points near creek openings. Slow bite today and only manage a few short SM bass and a few good size skip jacks. The jacks were about the same size as the bass (8-10"). Should have used them for live bait :)

It is a super fun time on the Tennessee River right now, the big ones are bitng and it is pretty easy fishing. All it takes is to go out and throw an Alabama rig at current breaks and you should have a great day on the water.

Post- Spawn the smallmouth sit right under the dam and the tailrace. Drive as far up into it as you can and position your boat on the sides in the current breaks. Heavy spinnerbaits and large swimbaits work well pulling them through the current.
