We fished Saturday also. We put in at river road and ran up to the power plant with not much action. Ended up running down river to island and picked up a few. They seemed to be deep for us also.
Glad to hear you were out and giving it a shot. If the water temps would just rise to maybe 60's and slow down that maybe the difference. We usually do not have to go very far the furthest is the power plant launching from the dam. Heck more often we don't even make it to the dam when white bass fishing. Next time I'm going to get an earlier start and pick up a few shad at Striper Soup before making my way to the Coosa. Need to check out that hybrid bite. It was on FIRE last year when the white bass just suddenly shut down. We had a dozen medium/large threadfin shad. Cut those in half and we picked up 10 hybrids in 2 hours that was a nice bite
