Fish were all over the place. There were some deep, shallow, in the grass, brush, suspended. You could fish your strength and get bites. I didn’t make the hall to Decatur. I stayed midways between Browns Ferry and the dam. The day of the tournament I caught them on a jig extremely well. I did catch some throwing a spinnerbait and Chatterbait in the grass.

On the outside of a channel swing, I targeted submerged timber in and near grassy pockets along the shoreline. I was working light-colored poppers across the top while my partner followed up with spinnerbaits - topwater was more active. Sunny, no clouds, light breeze out of the south: there was a viable topwater bite until noon. No lunkers but regular, steady action.
