Sorry it took so long to post this report but I was waiting until I had some pictures. I still can't get the pics off of my cingular cell phone (anyone with any ideas please let me know!)


So this was the last day fishing with my dad after a great weekend where we caught a bunch of good fish. We were still hunting for that fish Terry fought for 2 hours so we got up around 8:30 and headed out to see what we could scare up at sequoyah. I messed up and forgot to put more oil in the motor so we got stuck about halfway over to the spot Terry showed me so we stopped and fished around where the big motor cut off. MAN AM I GLAD I DIDNT PUT OIL IN THE MOTOR!!! It was an amazing day probably the best day I have ever had fishing in my life. We had 7 or 8 fish over 30 pounds at the boat although alot of them were quick released at the boat by my dad (and me) with the cabelas lip gripper apparently that 65 lb power pro doesnt hold up to well to the lip gripper. We also had one fish at the boat that was at the very least 60 lbs and more fish then I could count in the 10 to 20 lb range. I also had one fat little catfish that was only 20 inches long but that weighed 20 lbs. I have 2 more pictures on my phone one of the short 20 lb fish and one that was in the 30's but I can't get them off for nothing. All in all it turned out to be a fantastic weekend with my dad and we are going to make the fall fishing trip a yearly thing. All fish were caught in 45-50 ft of water with a rocky bottom on skipjack steaks and heads (my absolute favorite bait for big fish)
 
I tried that thats how i got this pic off my dads verizon phone. When I called cingular because it wouldnt let me do that they told me I had to sign up for some special package to be able to do that GRRRRRRRR
 
I posted the wrong picture for this report whoops. I will have to call my dad again or figure out a way to get the pictures off my phone
 
Sounds like you guys got into some good fish. emoThumbsup to manmade structure.
 
I know you and your dad had a great fishing weekend. I also enjoyed meeting your dad and watching him catch that fish over 30 lbs.emoToast
I hope he can get back this way in the near future.
I want to get with you sometime and teach me about crappie fishing.emoScratch
 
finally the other pics from my dads phone. It took all weekend but Finally on monday I got my dad to take a picture actually holding a fish!

anyone out there know enough about editing pictures to lighten up the pic of my dad? I am not so good with editing any help would be appreciated. Terry I am going with the Crappieking er I mean drumking this weekend so hopefully I will learn a lil something and then pass on the info.
Thanks in advance guys for help with editing!
 
It's my impression that many of the good cats are taken on manmade structure near the flow at Sequoyah. That's where I've done the best. Thank you TVA!!!!!!!!! Just keep the flow coming.
 
Great report foodsaver - If its the one I'm thinking of then I ave fished that structure a few times...After fishing Whiskerfest and talking to Fishing Machine I think I might know how to fish it next time I go!
 
Foodsaver,

That is really impressive! Way to go, those big blues sure are a lot of fun. Looks like you guys are just slaying it right now.
