Wow. I'm not sure I've ever seen that much current. Fishing the main river was not an option for all day. With the trolling motor maxed out, I could BARELY gain on the current. It was insane.
Anyway..... As you might have guessed, the water was muddy. Not awful muddy, but heavy stain. Floaters everywhere. It didn't rain on me Sunday which was nice. All the creeks I checked were packed with bait. I assume this was an effort to stay out of the river current. I saw some fish chasing and even had some surface activity with shad getting blown up. I managed to catch a couple of largemouth on shad type baits all of them were shallow and white as white can be.
Gonna fish Friday before the tournament. Plan on focusing in on the offshore sandbar deal although I'm not sure where any of that is or how to fish it! Water temps on main river were 52ish. Pockets off the main river were 54-56ish. The creeks I checked were 60 at the back. I flipped a TON of grass (mostly hyacinth). NADA. I worked some laydowns and bushes with spinnerbaits and jigs. NADA. I feel like even with all this warm weather and water that these fish just haven't made it to the creeks yet.

The bars I know are all the way down at the lock. River channel in front of them, maybe 5ft on top of them, and 15-20 ft deep behind them. They run parallel to the river if I remember right. Those are what I'm looking for?
