I am new to fishing the river north of the Shands Bridge. I went out all day Saturday and it looks like the east bank is the best but I still had a hard time finding spots that were deep enough to hold fish. Is there any eel grass north of the Shands bridge? Do you mainly have to fish drops and bottom structure? I have tried Black Creek before but i do not know where to start since it is so deep. Any help in how to fish this part of the river would be great. I know the fish are here, I went to the TNT weigh in a couple of weeks ago and a lot of nice fish were weighed in.

Thanks for any help, I fished 8 hours Saturday without a bite!
