<br /> Decided to get out for awhile and called up Eddie to see if he was ready for a day on the water. Got to the lake around 3pm and put in at the canal ramp. Took off up Tellico side and found the water temp to be only 67* and clear as a bell. Finally got dialed in on the fish and caught several on a fluke and worms.<br /> Went up Ft. Loudon side and found the water was a little warmer in the 72* range. Got on the bass at one place and caught several before dark. Stayed out till just after midnight and all total had over 40 bass. Eddie caught a nice one close to 5# and she had already laid out. He caught her on a jig flipping a dock.<br /> Don&#39;t know if the fish have been on bed up there or not but caught a lot of buck bass on the banks. Didn&#39;t get any good fish till after dark and things really slowed down. Loaded the boat and came home with a great evening on the water!
