Fished Friday morning and what a beautiful day it was. I'm back on the live Bait again which was fairly easy to get this time. Matter of fact there may be too much bait. Threw the cast net one time and caught about 25 or 30 shad and threw the cast net again and I caught so many shad in the net that I could hardly pick the net up out of the water I'm guessing 1,000 shad or more needless to say we had plenty of bait. TVA was not generating so we drifted live shad around the walls for bass untill TVA started generating we caught 4 or 5 bass. TVA cut the water on around 8:00am and we started drifting the shad around the tail race. We caught a drum on just about every drift HUGE drum 20 to 25 lb drum after about the 20th. drum No Rock's or Hybrids and getting tired of feeding the drum I put the Umbrella rig to work and we caught 1 Rock fish about 15 lbs. The fish just haven't moved up yet. The shad are there and it's just a matter of time the Rock's and Hybrids should be right behind them Cleaning up what the Drum are leaving.
