Likely Location for Bass when TVA is Pulling Water

There is no doubt in my mind that bass become a by-product of their surrounding and in the case of a river system like the Tennessee river that bass feed when TVA is pulling current! The key is where do they go when this happens and what generates their activity during the flow of water.

There are many things that moving water does to create activity and make the bass feed, the first thing is current helps create oxygen in the water, the bass generally move from suspending to being more active when there is more oxygen in the water. When it抯 hot and the water temperatures are in the high 80抯 current is a big game changer. The next important thing to remember is current can be created by wind and waves as it deflects the sun and allows the bass to stay more active on sunny windy days.

One of the most important aspects of current is it generally gathers up scattered bait fish into bait balls , as there is safety in numbers for bait fish and as they gather up to hide from the current it puts them in areas together and the bass follow the bait fish constantly. The aspect of current that most don抰 realize is that current creates water eddy抯, and this acts a s a whirlpool for bass to stack up around the eddy抯 and ambush bait; this is an ideal location to find a monster sack of fish!

Current also creates movement to the flats as bait will move to these areas and stack up behind bottom structure like stumps and rock or drops on the edges of the flats. There movement will generally travel on old roadbeds or hard bottom areas as they migrate to the flats. I also check man-made structures as current will push the fish to the barge tie-ups, bridges, and rock jetty抯 and or boat houses especially along main channel areas where the current is more noticeable. Study the current, check the times on the TVA.gov web site look for the areas that the fish move to and you will be more successful when their pulling water along your river system.
