Made my first trip to Chickamauga since the mid 80's this weekend and just got back home after a rain out this mornings. Water temps were from 51 early to 59 late Saturday . I struggled.... threw a crankbait that ran about ten feet deep with no takers and finally went back to some areas I had fished and marked some fish and caught four on a shakey head. Took a break at 1 pm and got back on the lake about three and fished the backs of some coves on the west bank. Caught three that evening and they were better fish, bigger and more color and biggest maybe three pounds on a jerkbait and thin fin shad. It seemed the fish were right in the edge on a mudline in the backs of the coves, had to cover a lot of water to find three . But enjoyed the time on the lake and Jmax...one heck of a fish..well done.
