Started out in Soddy fighting the fog at daylight. Fished rip rap and timber, 5 to 10 FOW with plastics caught 8 nice size keeper spots . Switched to bluff edges and points when fog cleared enough and caught a few more on jigs in 15 to 20 FOW. Moved down to River park for a afternoon looking for smallies and wasn't disappointed. Not allot water moving but we found the spots and smallies on deep structure and tore them up for a couple hours in 15 to 20 FOW around 2:00pm of all times. Used jigs and tubes and caught 6 nice smallies biggest being 3.5 lbs. The spots seemed to be bigger on the deep holes and we enjoyed some big ones for a change. Finished up with 15 a piece on those with biggest being about 3 lbs. Hooked a monster cat on a tube jig and fought the darn thing for several minutes only to break the line before we got it up to the boat. I knew since it went all around a bridge pilling what I was headed for. Like to turn loose the smallies so don't keep them for a group picture. Enjoyed the day and can't wait to get back for more.
