After a slow day on the Chick it was time to get busy!<br />I looked at the Nick TVA info and noticed they dropped the level a foot in a few hours, so I went there.<br />One boat fishing and I launched at 730.<br />Got on a hot spot and started crappie fishing.<br />No crappie, but 2 small bass hit my jig, so I picked up a poppin image and had bass on my first 14 casts!<br />biggest was 2.5 and the rest were smaller schoolies.<br />The current spit me out on the big side of the lake and the fish tired of my little popper, so I tied on a Jimmy in sexy shad that I bought when Academy opened.<br />Just hoping the H2o lure would work.<br />It did. The bass bite slowed and I got back to crappie.<br />I wore out my outlaw and went to glue a blue ghost on. Nothing!!!!!!<br />Then I added a tail light and it was on for the crappie. The flow had finally stopped and most fish were caught on a tight line straight down.<br />Never had more than 2 thumps. the rest were lifted and heavy then I set the hook and they were on.<br />I finished with going back to Bass. I had 4 5lb&#43; fish and a 7.5 kicker!<br />Totaled 38 Bass and 18 crappie with only 3 throwbacks there.<br />Most bass were small, but at least half were over 1.5 and better.<br />I had a double hook up and could have had more as I slowed down reeling the fish in and the others would hop on and then off.<br />Went home at noon as the bite started back up. And yes I was tempted, but it was getting too hot for me and I had a good day already!<br /><br />FUN day<br />I hope ya&#39;ll have that kind of day too emoAngler <br />Maybe I can find a partner for tomorrowemoGeezer <br /><br /><br /><br /> emoCool
