Super User roadwarrior Posted February 26, 2008 Super User Posted February 26, 2008 This has been a tough year. This region has been in a drought for nearly two years and the TVA water release schedule has not been good for weekend warriors. However, we have picked up a few and last weekend Neal (BassResource.com member ss140) caught a couple of beauties! Here are a few pics from outings the last few months. The pigs Neal caught are from Saturday, February 23, 2008: Quote

Super User roadwarrior Posted February 26, 2008 Author Super User Posted February 26, 2008 Most of our smallmouth are caught drifting shiners on a split shot rig. Last weekend I caught four, including those pictured, on a Single-Tail GYCB Grub. 8-) Quote

Mrs. Matstone Posted February 26, 2008 Posted February 26, 2008 Awesome smallies. Those things are fat! I really miss catchin smallies. I think all of the smallies by me went south for the winter because I can't find them. :'( Quote
Super User RoLo Posted February 26, 2008 Super User Posted February 26, 2008 Holy Cow! Looks like the Tennessee River is still growing them big & beautiful. Great fish, great pics. Roger Quote
Super User Tin Posted February 26, 2008 Super User Posted February 26, 2008 Noooooo way, a new picture of RW??? ;D Nice footballs, the picture of you with the one to the right is a chunk and has some nice colors. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 28, 2008 Author Super User Posted February 28, 2008 I'm fishing futher into Kentucky Lake this weedkend with CJ and hopefully Bud. We think jerkbaits might be the ticket, some friends of theirs did well last weekend throwing the Lucky Craft Pointer 78. Maybe we'll have some new pictures next week! 8-) Quote
ss140 Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 Good Luck RW wish I was there this weekend too but have to work, but next weekend is looking good 3 days off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 28, 2008 Author Super User Posted February 28, 2008 Probably just you and me, Speedy is guiding on the 8th. Maybe I'll learn something this weekend that will help us on our piece of the river! 8-) Quote

I went below Wheeler yesterday and fished the heck out of a jerkbait with no luck. no luck on a tube or ika either. water temp was 50-52 I thought they would be near the gravel banks but only caughht 2 drum and someones old anchor. the anchor was a keeper lol Quote

Mattlures Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 RW you look cold. It seems every pic of you, your all bundeled up. What dont you fish in the summer time? You need to take a trip out here and I will show you what its like to fish in shots and tee shirt. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted March 4, 2008 Author Super User Posted March 4, 2008 Will you let me catch one of you DD California beauties? I suppose I might change my preference if we had largemouth bass the size of yours.! 8-) Quote
bassdocktor Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 Looks like quite the good day. I can't wait til I can get out on Lake Michigan. Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted March 7, 2008 Posted March 7, 2008 Beautiful fish there - I bet they pulled pretty hard ;D (I can't see most pictures at work but I can see them from my home computer; hence, the delay :) Quote
