UTC Basketball Coach John Shulman bought a discounted trip I donated to a UTC Athletic Fundraiser. It was my second time out with the Shulman&#39;s, so I suppose they had fun the first time. Hopefully today was a repeat.<br /><br />The cats are staying pretty consistent for me downstream in the tailwaters. Drift the right holes the right way, and the blues will definitely eat. We were releasing today (much to Max and Tanner&#39;s dismay), so we didn&#39;t count. But we didn&#39;t have too many dry drifts, including several doubles and even one triple. John tagged the two biggest fish today... a 10 lber. and a 12.<br /><br />The boys got a bit bored with the cats so we sized down the gear and chased bluegill for a while Their Fall bite is about to get strong. After the Shulman&#39;s left, I hit a couple of other bluegill holes and smoked &#39;em. Some on wax worms, but they hit the panfish assassins just about as well... and the assassins produced much bigger bluegill on average. And that means life is good and gettin&#39; better every day!
