First time on water in a month and boy did I need it! Fished Watts Bar from Piney Creek to Whites Creek. Partner and I caught 12 stripes ranging in size from 4 to 15 lbs and 5 smallies from 3 to 4.5 lbs. All fish caught on hair jigs. Most fish came between 9:30 am and 1pm as the bite really slowed in the evening. Stripes are relating to under water humps with fish caught between 12 to 28 ft. The smallies were relating to rock point eddies where heavy current was present. Smallies were relatively shallow in about 10 to 15 ft, but had to have deep water behind them. I don't write reports often, so I hope information helps and is in right format.
