I headed out on Sunday with Bruce Garner and his daughter Anna Beth. You may recognize Bruce from TV. He&#39;s the guy who serves as the official spokesperson for the Chattanooga Fire Dept. But Sunday was all about fish.<br /><br />Bruce and Anna Beth both know their way around fishing rods... but neither had much experience with Tennessee River catfish. They both got a pretty good dose.<br /><br />My reports this time of year can get awfully redundant emoSorry .... that is, if &quot;fun&quot; can be redundant. emoBig
<br /><br />Definitely no &quot;big fish&quot; bite going on in the Chickamauga Tailwaters for me right now. But you can have lots and lots of fun with 2 - 8 lb. fish. Hook a big-headed, mean 6 lb. channel cat and you&#39;ll be thinking &quot;big fish&quot; however.<br /><br />Same pattern (and places) as previous weeks. Drifting chicken breast over mostly main channel humps and holes 12 to 25 feet deep. They were running 30,000 cfs yesterday so you could cover a lot of water in a hurry.<br /><br />It was a gorgeous day out with a fabulous father-daughter team, and that means life is good and gettin&#39; better every day!
