My brother, Voliam, came up from Atlanta to fish the day with me on the Chick. We got on the water around 7:00. Threw a variety of lures but mostly lipless cranks in shallow water and Texas rigged lizards around stumps and laydowns. Caught 30-35 bass today including 12 keepers of no real size. Best 5 would've give gone 13lbs, but lotsa fun nevertheless. Voliam doesn't have a boat (he's now in the market) so he fishes with friends on Lanier (dead sea). He's not used to catching more than a couple of fish a trip so Chickamauga was a pleasant surprise. We got off the water around 6:00 but not before seeing Bbass, Ditchdoc666, Tyler, and Churly preparing to fish a dogfight at Wolftever. Water temps were fairly steady today. Morning temps were 58 degrees but rose to 60 degrees by afternoon. Water wasn't as stained as I thought it would be. All of our fish were caught in water from 2 feet to 8 feet.
