Went to cherokee this past week and had a pretty good week fishing the water temp was in the 70's the beginning of the week and dropped to the upper 60's after a cold front came threw mid week. The fish were hitting crankbaits pretty decent but i ended up catching most of my fish on a football jig in about 15-17 ft of water on two spots i found. I caught alot of 2 1/2 to 3 lber and had two brutes break my line one with a crankbait and one with a football jig. i was having decent success up shallow with a dt 10 in the red crawdad color but i ended up losing the two i had and just couldn't get them to bite another color. The football jig's i was using were green pumpkin in the strike king and another one they sell at a local tackle shop i can't remember the name of. The trailer was a zoom watermelon red chunk but the key thing seemed to be the chartruese jj's magic , it really did seem to make a difference when the water temp cooled mid week. I wanted to take more pics but i fished by myself most of the week and i never can seem to get good pics with me takin them, but here is one i caught that was 4.2 lb.

Very nice

Nice fish

Sounds like a good fall trip.

Nice looking bass!
