I'm one of the fishermen whos restricted to the bank, and I live a quarter mile from a reservoir dam. spill water is always flowing, providing a steady current, and its a rocky bottom with a few weed beds here and there. Water is a stained blue in most spots, visibility about 3 ft deep. On the far side of the dam there is a large pipe that exits under the water and sends water from the lake into the river, and there is where i've been catching my big fish. I'd estimate the acre surrounding that pipe to be about 20 ft deep, then rises up to an average of 6 ft pretty quickly. My question to you guys is what techniques and baits/lures would you suggest to try? I've been doing well on 1/4 oz jig heads with a white 4" curly tail grub, but wanna divert from my confidence lure and try for results.

Josh, or Fish Whisperer here. 24 from Spartanburg SC. Been fishing since I was three and fishing hooked me more than I've hooked fish lol. Some say i'm addicted, I call it a lifestyle. I primarily bass fish, though I may set out for crappie on occasion. Long time lurker, new poster.

I agree with this... I get a lil down, question my method that day, then spend the rest of wondering what I should have done. For what its worth, nothing gets me more hot than losing a drag screamin swamp donkey due to line breakage or for one to just come off in the fight. I usually take about five minutes to think it through and see what I could do to keep it from happening again.

All caught around a spillover of a dam, couple on ultralight crappie rod and jig, others on medium action casting rod using 1/4 oz jig head and grub or minnow. Blue and white color combination.
