Bass were relating to areas where the channel swung close to the bank creating small ledges. Before sunrise I caught fish on topwater then got on a crankbait bite and caught fish all day!

Saturday May 28th, partly cloudy conditions. Temps in the mid 70s water temp 71. I followed creek beds cutting through shallow flats on the northern Emory river portion of watts bar to grab some fish. With the busy holiday weekend I had to go outside the box and stuck to skinny water. Fish were caught in 2-5 feet of water in bends of the creek beds where bass had stacked to ambush prey. Retrieve and weight had to vary to entice solid strikes. Started with 3/8th weight and moved up to 1/2 so I could burn a bit faster and keep it mid column.
