<br /> Headed up towards Soddy this weekend to do a little looking around for some new spots.. Put in in the creek and headed north. Saturday night I had trolling motor issues so basically just got some of the break in done and checked on a few holes. did manage to get one some fish on a spot right at dark with biggest 3.2 oz.. Got home late fixed trolling motor and we went back to the same areas today. Fished from Soddy to the Highway 60 bridge.. fished ledges in 14 to 40 ft of water with big lizards and crankbaits.. Caught 11 fish with 3 keepers and big fish of right under 4lb he was 3lbs 15 oz and you could tell he had been eating.. Still had a bloody tail which i thought was weird.. Targeted areas with points nearby and hit the surrounding ledges. and also looked for weird shapes of deep flats and tried some of these also. Pulled fish from 4 of the 6 spots I tried today which were all new to me expect one. Amazing what a map card will help you find. Also hit a dockrow 1st thing this morning for 30 mins and caught a nice 2 lb smallie that was one of the meanest ones i ever caught.. he fought harder then any 4lb i have caught on the river. Didnt fish a ton today though between working on trolling motor(steering cables all out of whack) and my son wanting to stop and swin but was a good way to spend fathers day.. but after fishing with my son for a week solid Im ready for an adult only trip LOL emoEnforce <br /> <br /> http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341....jpg<br /> <br /> http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341....jpg<br /> <br /> http://i462.photobucket.com/albums/qq341...78/4lb.jpg
