Bent Rod, Dr Phil, and I went to the tailwaters of Nickajack dam to fish for White Bass. All the white bass have moved to Alabama and was replaced with Alabama Smallmouth. emoBig
<br /><br />We never did get the 15 mph winds that were predicted. Instead, it was calm most of the time. I&#39;m not complaining, mind you, but just letting NOAA know that they lied again. emoBig <br /><br />Lures - blade baits, tail spinners, swimbaits, maribou jigs, 1 live minner by Bent Rod<br />Fish caught - 2 drum aka Alabama smallmouth, one sauger, 2 spotted bass, 1 blue catfish.<br />water temp - 46 degrees<br />Weather - sunny, warm, beautiful day for Jan 14th.<br />Water depth - 17 to 19 feet<br /><br />Fishing sucked, but fellowship and weather was great. We laughed all day. Maybe that is why we didn&#39;t catch any fish to speak of. Bent Rod caught 1 spotted bass and one sauger. Dr Phil caught a drum and a blue catfish, and I caught a spotted bass and a drum. Rick claimed to have lost a catfish. He fought it for a couple of minutes and there was a lot of slime on the line when the fish got off, but since we didn&#39;t get to see the fish, Dr Phil and I determined that it was a drum. <br /> emoUp emoUp <br /><br />I&#39;m going back down there when the white bass moved back from Alabama. emoBig emoGeezer
