Recommend fishing up the rivers and coves as fall moves in. Fish and shad move up the rivers and into the shallows. Fish bridge piers as staging areas as the fish move up. We fished 9-25 at LOZ and caught 25 keepers, 10-13 inchers following the fall movements. Fish caught down 6-15 feet. Most bites were hard. Good luck and try again, it should only get better next 6 weeks.
