Water Clarity: 0 Hi fellow bassers, went to the river today after a hard rain storm and found it to be as i thought, very high,cold and muddy. Me and a friend started with spinnerbaits along some flooded brush and nobody seemed to be home so we went behind some islands where the current wasn't so strong and again found nothing. We went up river to a bend that the river current swung away from the bank and caught our first of only seven smallies. I caught a 2 pounder on a tube right against the bank. We started to look for the same pattern elsewhere. We went around some flooded trees and started to flip them with tubes and jigs like we were looking for largemouths and in a couple places flipped the outside of trees and caught nothing but then flipped the inside between the tree and shore in about 2 feet of water and caught some nice smallies that way. They were just as tight to the trees as they could get. If you dropped your bait 6 inches from your target tree you wouldn't get a bite but drop it on the tree and it would get crushed. As long as the trees had no current around them we caught fish, any current and we got nothing. The water temp for this time of the year is very cold so fish S-L-O-W-L-Y. We are heading out tomorrow to try some largemouth fishing so stay tuned friends, DAVID
