I haven't fished for two weeks due to outboard motor problems. emoBang I took it to The Outboard Doc. He fixed the problem and had me back on the water in the amout of time he said he would. If you need any repair's Glenn is the man to see. emoThumbsup emoThumbsup Now to the fishing. I had planned to start at daylight but a problem came up and I had to wait. Lucky I did because TVA didn't flow the water like they had posted. They didn't start untill 10:00. I started @ 12:30 below Nickajack. First cast a spot, I thought bad luck to catch a fish on the first cast. Fished 10 more min. and a 4lb.15oz Smallouth struck a Gitzit tube. Alright thats more like it. Headed to another spot and caught a 5lb1oz.,4lb.8oz., on a drop shot Berkley realistic minnow. Went back to the first spot and caught a 4lb and a 2lb. 8oz. on a Gitzit tube. I ended up with 8 Smallmouth and 12 Spots. The best 5 SM 20 lbs.The best 5 spots 12 lbs. Fish were caught in 11-15 feet. This winter has been the worst fishing on the river in 3 years . I hope this is a sign of better things to come.
