Kim headed to Murfreesboro to be with our granddaughter, so decided to try to get in a pretty full day. Got to the ramp about 9:30. Nice south breeze blowing. Wanted to see if some bass had moved out to deeper drops. There were some, caught 5 or 6 on a shakey, but not one keeper. Moved shallower into 5-7 ft around cover & began to catch better fish. Had 2 nice LM about 2.5# each. Then I set the hook on a fish & it rockets 4' out of the water! A smallie! Great fight! She went 4.4#, best SM I've had this year! Moved to a similar area & caught a 4# & a 3#. Then on a shallow ridge, got a nice 5.75# LM. Brent called to come meet me about 4:30. He nailed 3 nice fish, all 4-5# fish & had a big blue cat about 25#! Best 5 went 22-23#. All fish caught on shakeys & creature baits.
