Free-Lining Chicken to Catch Catfish in VERY SHALLOW WATER

I had a full boat. The goal of this trip was to get everyone a fish. We boated 10 catfish in a span of two hours. The action was pretty good. We drifted with chicken breast below Chickamauga Dam. The action gets really good this time of the year as a lot of the skipjack and shad make their runs below dams. This spring in particular, we've had swarms of gizzard and threadfin shad. I typically like drift fishing with little to no current. I seem to do better in these conditions.
