Went to Guntersville TN Sunday. Water was SUPER low and the flood gates had been closed and the wind was howling. Gave the fish a steady dose of grubs and small jigs for several hours and only captured a few small spots....then resorted to trolling crankbaits and the action picked up a little.... ended up with 4 smallies ( biggest two 15.5" and 17.5") and several spots (largest 15.5"). Tried crankin the same area without trolling, just drifting, and could not get them to hit.....crankbait had to be digging in!! Shad colored cranks in 9-13 feet of water!

Good to see ya trolling. I love it and it produces some nice catches. There is a lot to learn about it but sometimes that will work when nothing else will. Where were you fishing? Along the bank?

We were fishing there yesterday too. That wind was something. We caught a mixed bag of bass, catfish, drum, and a couple of small striper.
