Lake Chickamauga 12/26/07

My buddy Steve called around noon..."I'm puttin' the boat in!". Well, it took me about 30 minutes to decide that I had had enough of the office, so I bolted.

We hit our first spot (one of our favorites) about 2, and did not leave there until after dark, around 7. The weather was pleasant...mid 50's, mostly sunny, and light winds. Water temp was 52. Eat your hearts out, my yankee bretheren!

We boated 26 LMB, most of them slicks between 14-15", but managed 4 keepers. They were all fat and fought like fish twice their size, so it was a good time.

All fish (except 2 little white bass I caught on a crankbait) were caught on spinning rigs, 8# test, 1/4 oz shakey-head w/ cotton candy and smoke finesse worms, in 4-6 FOW. The bass were chasing baitfish, and we were just letting the worms sit under the schools and wiggling the slack line. PAINFULLY slow...I'm a t-rig kind of guy so I KNOW slow fishing, but I had a hard time not moving my lure. But we were getting hit. In addition to the 26 boated, we lost 4 or 5 at or on the way to the boat, and had numerous hit-and-miss's.

Attached is Steve's big fish of the day, a nice healthy 3.5 #'er.

Another good day NOT at the office!

How do you guys get more than one pic in a post, anyway...I've been trying to figure THAT out for a while, now.
