In the past i have fished under lake conditions like we are having now with no luck. Always told fish will move up to flooded areas if water stays up. I have backed off flooded banks to the first original drop and had some luck. Anyway just interested what lures/methods you all use ? Thanx jc
:o An old lure that tore them up on Toledo Bend in the early 70's. A Mud Bug of course!!!!!!!!!
Big thumping spinner bait, if their not pulling the water the fish will be between the bank and the flooded trees, if they are pulling the water the fish will be on the outside of the flooded trees! JMO

I agree with Gary. To take it further use large Colorado blades, hammered if you have some as they will put out more vibration. Use loud colors to. Bright chartruese even the blades chartruese sometimes, Orange, Reds, even Pinks, black and blue if these don't work.
Im a fan of Black and Blue Chatterbaits up close to cover or shallow as you can get. Won a Beaver Lake tourny doing this. We were the only ones who brought fish to the scales.

Don, Andrew was telling me how much you loved that chatterbait, I've got some I'm gonna have to give them some more time. I do like the vibration and thump they have.
Thanx guys, i wasnt even thinking of a chatterbait. I bet those will get them under these conditions also the big colorado spinnerbaits sound good too. Thanx again jc

Chartreuse spinner on grass, PBJ jig on flooded cover. never tried a firetiger crank or chatter-bait but sounds good.

This is a great article. I'll share it with my bass club buddies right after our Barkley (hopefully) next weekend.
