Pointer 78, Chickamauga, Bass, 2-26-12, Mike - FishNews - 02-27-2012 <br /> Fished with Mike from Tullahoma. He's never been on Chickamauga before. Just before I picked him up at Chester Frost Park, I started chucking a 1/4 oz XR 25 in 4 FOW. Caught a nice 5-6 lber on the 3rd cast. After picking mike up, we went back to the same area and caught a few more including one a bit over 3 lbs. Also on the XR 25. We stayed in the mid lake area trying to stay out of the wind. I caught 3 more cookie cutter keepers in the 2 1/2 lb range. Later, Mike hauls one aboard with a foot long lamprey attached near it's dorsal fin. We released it after removing the lamprey. Tossed it onto the floor of the boat and let it die.<br /> All of our fish were caught on either lipless cranks or shakey heads in 6 FOW or less.<br /> Water temps ranged from 49 degrees early to 53 degrees around 2 o'clock.
