<br /> Lowdrag and I fished the Hiwassee Island area Sunday. We put in at Dayton and fished from there to Grasshopper. While running out to the channel, we found a pontoon boat full of crappie fishermen stranded and we stopped and gave them a boost. Seems that they had been out all night and the lights they had been using ran down all of their batteries. (This was going to be a highlight of the day.)<br /> Started fishing below Hiwassee Island caught four fish early with three keepers and then things really slowed down. For the day we caught 11 fish, 10 bass and one catfish. There was no real pattern most of the fish came off the main channel brakes while using spooks, CR, and TR. June bug was the color of choice today.............
