Sorry for the late report. I&#39;m just now getting a few minutes of down time. Monday evening I made a solo trip out of the Lupton Drive ramp. I tried one spot down river and threw everything I had tied on with only two short keepers. I moved back upriver and started working a channel drop. TVA had good flow and the water was high. I was rotating a grub, 6 inch lizard and a buzz bait and catching fish on all. The fishing picked up about 8:30 as the water started receding and for a while I was getting hit on every cast. I caught 5 smallies, about 2 dozen spots, and hand full of largies. This was the first evening of the year for me with good success on a buzz bait - I love topwater! I attached the best fish of the night, a 20 inch smallie caught on a Zoom lizard.<br /><br />Sorry, I&#39;m having problems resizing. I&#39;ll try again.
