This morning the Drumking and I hit the Watts Bar tail waters to try our luck with the white bass. We fished from about 7:30 a.m. with one generator running until 11 a.m. when they turned on 3 more. It was a beautiful morning to be on the water. Final score was 1 skipjack, somewhere between 80 and 100 white bass (with 23 qualifying for a free shuttle back to Ooltewah) 1 stripe (Drumking), one 3 pound largemouth (Drumking), and the tennfisher scored his very first ever smallmouth, a three pound beauty that was gently released to grow some more. I can see where those smallmouth could prove to be addicting. The drumking was his usual patient teacher, and this student much appreciated the guidance.<br /><br />Tennfisher
