Well this time we made it away from the dock. Had a plan because after moving to Sparta TN pre fishing is a premium. Water temps just getting right and the beginning of the spawn we planned on transition fish. If at least 10 ft of water wasn&#39;t within a cast didn&#39;t spend much time on it. Carolina rig and black lizard took 20 minutes to find the first one of our limit. Chatterbait caught 3 more( 1 smallie) and the lizard filled the limit. Jigs, spinnerbaits, r-traps all got laughed at. Water temps were around 61 most of the day but that was only 2 ft deep in the lake. Didn&#39;t have to get very deep to find low 50&#39;s still. <br />Best news of the weekend was for my partner Lynn Hickey. After herding skunks in the boat all day, we got the report that Hensley Powell had won in Arkansas. Not sure if anyone knows yet but Mr Lynn sponsors Hensley thru Stan Sloans Zorro Baits. Guessing we need to get Hensley here to show us how it&#39;s done!! <br />Looking forward to the next one!!!!!<br />
