Got an early start in the rain form Soddy Ramp hoping to repeat a couple days ago, emoThumbsup Well where did they go, emoScratch The rain stopped just after sun up and the clouds began to break up and turn into a nice day except for the WIND, emoApplause We caught some nice fish but we also had some throw backs in the mix too. No TARP's today although we had a couple over 13. I threw back some 11's that, at the end of the day, I should have kept, emoBooHoo We fished 'till 1:30, well I say we fished, maybe I should say we tried to fish, emoBadLanguage Did I mention the WIND, emoQuestion Trying to fish the river was almost impossible with 2 foot white caps and some current, all going the same way. You had to stay on the trolling motor all the time or you'd be 20 feet down river in just a minute, especially while trying to change jigs. We donated our fair share of jigs today with the current also, emoRolleyes We ended the day with 35 crappie, 1 channel cat, 1 'gill, and 3 spots. Most fish were in 10-15 FOW and from a 6 to a 10 count. We didn't find fish in the same places that I found 'em on Monday. Most of the fish were caught on BG Bluegrass with some coming on a BG Outlaw Special. Water temp is steadily coming down, we saw 74* to 77* throughout the day. I kept/cleaned 22 crappie and 2 of the spots. We sent the rest back to grow bigger for another day, emoTongue
