Launched out of Soddy at daylight. Chilly morning but glad to be on water. Started out with worm and pig-n-jig- not nothing happening. Moved up river and changed to cranks KVD color on shallow points and first cast nailed a nice 4+. Moved to several places that we fished when water was up before and caught fish on just about every point. Man if we had been in a tournament today we would have something to show. I ended up with 6 no smaller than 4 pounds biggest was 5-8. This was the first outing for me that I have ever done that size wise this spring!!!! John matched me fish for fish but his didnt have the size his biggest was 3-6. All fish were caught on shallow points out of main channel. Water temp was 65 to 68. Water was murky with plenty of logs and trash to dodge. We returned the fish after a camera shot. Fish pictures against my big *** make them look small but this was my best day this spring. Not bad for 4 hours of fishing.
