I like to get out there nice and early so I can get out there before the drunks and heat show up. When I go I usually hit shallow road beds and fence rows. I try to focus on water around 4-8 ft deep. Normally I catch decent fish. If that doesn't work I start hitting trees with jigs or Reelfoot rigs. Start around 15-25 ft water about 8-12 ft down. Like to use rootbeer and charteuse jigs with a orange head if I'm using jigs.
