What a day we had today!!!! Bill and me decided to take a lil trip to Nickajack dam and try our luck. We caught over 50 white bass, 11 drum between 10 and 20Lbs, 4 spots, 1 LM, and 1 6lb channel cat. Everything caught today was on live shad. Shad were unreal plentiful today. One cast of the net and it was so full I could hardly lift it over the side of the boat. On the very first cast I hook and land an 18lb drum on 8lb line and a very light action rod....IT WAS A BLAST!! Then it was Bill's turn on the drum and he lands a 20lber. For two solid hours we got bit on every cast. Then they truned on another turbine, the current changed and the bite stopped for us. We fished for another hour with very little action and called it a day. Here is a pic of cousin Bill with his 20lb drum.
