Me and skeeter have been talking about going out one evening just for fun. This evening was the evening. In one word it was TUFF for us. Had a rough time getting them to bite and even though we found fish on the graph we had a really hard time getting them to bite for us.<br /><br />Started with cranks and not a one. Shifted to drops and missed a couple. Moved and again...nothing. emoScratch Saw fish again but nothing. Moved again and saw more fish. Tried again and this time I had two decent keepers on a drop shot in about thirty feet and skeeter had a nice keeper on a jigging spoon. He also had two big slab crappie on that spoon. Would have made a few good sammiches. emoBig
Moved again and nothing, tried a jig and pig with nothing off of docks and bluffs. Finally skeeter caught another off a dock on a jitter bait that was a keeper. That gave us four keepers. Moved again to another bluff and then another hump...nothing. emoMad <br /><br />With about an hour to go we went and hit some grass flats. Drowning shakeys we got on a decent run and sheeter had another nice one on it close to 3 lbs, maybe a little more. I held up Skeeter&#39;s 3 lber and said real loudly, &quot;There is the City of Chattanooga and THAT&#39;S OUR LIMIT!!!&quot; Ikanelli would have been proud. <br /><br />We also caught about six or seven more on shakeys in the grass. We left at 9:00 with 12/13 bass boated total with about 12 lbes with our best five keepers. Had two about three and three a little over two. emoRolleyes Nothing really all that big but the company was good and the evening was nice. A little windy but not too bad. emoThumbsup <br /><br />C-ya on the water... emoAngler Jmax
