Marie Sudberry&#39;s Dad bought a trip for she and her son, along with boyfriend Russell. I believe Dad just wanted some fish to eat, but wanted somebody else to do the catchin&quot;. emoBig <br /><br />Pretty good numbers today... but there were a LOT of &quot;missed&quot; strikes. Took &#39;em a while to get &quot;the touch.&quot; But once they figured it out, we smoked some cats. We filled a big cooler and had to start releasing fish by about 9:30. I believe there&#39;s going to be a fish fry over in Wartrace, Tenn. sometime soon! emoHungry <br /><br />Oh yea, for the third time in my guiding career, we tagged another smallmouth on chicken breast. Drumking got a little one yesterday, and Marie stuck a nice smallie on our very first drift today.<br /><br />It looks like they&#39;re going to start bumpin&#39; the generation schedule up the next few days. My fishing might get a little tougher. But with high temps and water temperatures rising, the &quot;lake fish&quot; ought to start improving soon. Which mean life is good and gettin&#39; better everyday.
