Put in at Soddy Creek this morning &#39;bout 7:00 and fished &#39;till almost 12 noon. A beautiful day to be on the lake, not much wind and very comfortable temps, emoSmile Fished docks and deep structure and ended the day with 17 crappie, (12 keeper size, 3 over 13), 2 LM Bass and 2 blue cats one of which was a 3 lber caught by Martie. All fish were deep, at least a 15 count and the bite was VERY lite, emoRolleyes except for the 2 bass, one was 10&quot; and the other was 13&quot; and put up a good fight, emoThumbsup Lots&#39;a minnows in 83* water. It was fun and met some new people on the lake. Lake was pretty calm &#39;till about 9:30 when the chiggers started getting out. <br />Some good &quot;secret spots&quot; didn&#39;t produce a fish today, emoScratch Had to be in 25 FOW or more. Bait of the day seemed to be BG bleeding shad and crystal shad with tail lights, emoSmile <br />Only took 1 picture and Martie left with the camera so may post the pic when she gets back home, emoSmile <br />It was such a nice day on the lake that I would have liked to have stayed &#39;till dark emoGeezer emoFish emoDance <br />All fish returned to the water to grow bigger, emoSmile
