Nickajack Day 1<br />Started off in cave lake along with about 6 or 7 other boats. Fish were there biting Friday and locked their jaws on saturday. Had a couple blowups early on a frog and spook and when the sun came up I dont think we got another bite. Threw the tackle box at em. Tried a couple other spots only to come up empty handed there also. Came back in with zero. Not a good start to the tourney!<br /><br />Chickamauga Day 2<br />Thought today would be a little better being cloudy prefront conditions but it was nearly as tough as yesterday. Maybe the 1000 boats that were on the lake the last few days contributed. Thats what im blaming it on at least. Threw a frog pretty much all day and had alot of blowups but only got 3 keepers in the boat for a total of 8.96 lbs. Did have one good one for 4.62 i think. Also caught a few shorts on a shakeyhead and spook off the edges of the grass. Ended up coming in 4th with our 8.96 which im pleased with considering it was two of the toughest days of fishing ive had in a long time. This was our first year fishing a full trail and really enjoyed it. Congrats to earl and jerry on the win as they kinda handed it to us and thanks to the committee for all you guys do. See yall next year! emoThumbsup
