dvanced electronics changed everything about bass fishing on
the Tennessee River. Jason Lambert knows because he was there
when it happened. Lambert watched as tournament fields
migrated from shorelines to ledges – a secret world that, as a kid on his
uncle’s commercial catfishing boat, he’d learned how to access.
Back then, finding ledges was a drawn-out process of triangulation
based on lining up shoreline trees and long hours of searching for
schools with a lure and a line. But as the science of ledge fishing devel-
oped around him, Lambert became a master of the game. His name is
synonymous with tournament success in the Tennessee Valley. To date,
he has a dozen top-10 finishes and three wins in FLW competition at
Pickwick and Kentucky lakes.
This is how he goes about it.
