Finally after 10 weeks of no fishing due to cleaning fence rows, gardening and a list of other things that had to be done, I got to go fishing. My cousin Mike and I put in below Nickajack Dam at 7am to try and catch some smallmouth. We caught 4 with the biggest being around 2#. We caught several Kentucky bass some not much bigger than the shiners we were using. We also caught 4 slime your line catfish. Hoped to catch larger fish but it just didn't happen. Fish were caught in 8 to 14 fow mostly on main channel drop off. Water temp was 80. Fished until 1pm when we ran out of shiners. It sure was a nice break and hope the next trip is soon. Fish were not worthy of pics.
