Landon had never been to the land of the Grass and we decided to go Early Saturday morning. We put in at daylight at Jackson County and we were greeted by some super thick fog. After goofing off in Roseberry for about an hour, the fog began to lift. We got out on the main river and main was the lake full of boats! It looked like conveyor belts out there on the river bars. Anyway we started trying main river mussle beds and other hard bottom areas. We finally got a couple keepers in the boat down around seibold on a drop using c-rigs, but that didn't last long. Finally I went back to the deep money spot Al and I found last week and I had to sweet talk them at first but they were there. There was a pile of bass out in about 17-22ft hanging around bait. Swim baits worked best and I picked up about a dozen with the best 5 from that spot going about 15lbs. We left them biting and decided to start heading back up we stopped at Goosepond to watch a kids tx weigh-in and ate one of the greasiest pile of fries from the Goosepond Grill. From there we ran way up river and hit several of those creeks to no avail. We ended the day working the river bars in the "miracle mile" Were we boated another 6 fish on plastics. At about 7 we called it quits. We caught fish on Texas and Carolina rigs, but the Swim baits provided the best fish. No topwater or Spinnerbait fish today. Water was right at 80, and the river was moving hard. We covered the lake from Guntersville State Park up past Mud Creek and had a ball!
