Blue Raider Bob Posted December 16, 2024 Posted December 16, 2024 Went to Percy Priest Res. near Nashville Sunday. Cold gusting winds, colder sprinkles, muddy water, perfect conditions for watching football on the couch. But.....I was on the water, albeit only three hours. Wind made boat control very difficult, but I wanted to use Team9's suggestions and work with the jerkbait and the blade bait. After a fruitless hour or so, I came across a totally submerged tree and the little fish were all over it. Using the Damaki Vault (Thanks Alex), I caught two dinks and a 17" Smallie that went 2 Lbs. 5 oz. Unfortunately I had to use my back-up scale which consistently weighs 2 oz less than my favorite. Sigh. What the water gives, the water takes away. The Damiki caught a submerged log and that was that. Alas, I had ANOTHER! a few short casts later, I hooked and landed a fat 16" LM, and ended the short session with four. Shad were all over the screen so I filled up a cast net on the first and only toss and headed home to Shad stock the pond. Thanks for everyones advise! Can't wait for Sunday! 9 Quote
