[FishNews]

Dad and I meet up at the Wolf about 7:15 am this morning. It was pretty, a little bit breezy, but nice. The water temp was down to 71. We started out fishing shallow, chunk'in buzz baits, top waters, rattletraps, chatterbaits and spinnerbaits. We went up as far as the Nuke and as low as Harrision Bluff. We also threw Senkos, a c-rig and jigs after we moved out to the ledges and drop offs. We caught about 25 Bass all together. Much more than half were keepers. My best fish was a Smallie that tipped 5 lb. 4 oz. on my handy dandy Rapala hand held scales. I've got a picture of her I'll try to get posted later, BECAUSE I STILL DON"T KNOW HOW!!! My best five was right at 17 / 18 lbs. All fish released to fight again. I did see pointer out there, he was tearing 'em up, but I won't say were or with what! The water temp was about 76 when we loaded at 2:30 pm. No current all day! <br /><br />PS. For any of you Auburn Fans out there, we did see an 'ol Bald "Bo" Eagle up at the nuke plant. He was mature, big and beautiful! White tail and head. 'Ya just can't help but love seeing that! But Roll Tide!
