Woke up this morning early at about 5 and could not go back to sleep. I kept seeing bass blow up on spooks every time I shut my eyes. Finally I just got up and got a cup of coffee and turned on the tube. What do you think I see.....a show where bass were blowing up on top water!!!!emoBang I thought enough is enough, rain or no rain, I am going back. Got there about 7 to find out I was not the only idiot going fishing in the rain. I tried to find fish in the wolf to start with and had only one hit on the spook and it did not come back. Can't understand why they are not doing it in the wolf.emoScratch After two hour of trying to force feed them in the wolf I headed back out to the river around HBSP. At first I could not get them to hit a spook and went to a T-worm. Caught three on it with one keeper. All in about seven feet along rock drop offs. Finally went back into a spawn flat area and saw this one little stick above the water by itself and I had to put the spook by it.emoTongue Cast past it and walked it up to the stick and BOOM! one crushed it.emoSmile I proceeded to catch twelve bass on the spook in that area off wood just like yesterday. I left at 1:30 with 16 bass boated, but only three keepers. The bite was slower today but still a lot of fun.emoCool Jmax

Sounds like another good day though Jim. Glad you got out. I stayed home and rested my neck all day. Still feeling pretty bad.</p>

All I can say is I got paid to be there. emoPoke We had to work hard for them today, but managed to send the Higdon family home with 20 good keepers. I did find a new batch of fish after they left... caught about a dozen really nice crappie in about 45 minutes. And Drumking, you'd have been proud... #1-I actually caught them casting. emoBigsmile , #2 - I turned 'em all loose to spawn again another day.

Jmax is one lucky fella. I called him yesterday while he was fishing, he had just got broken off by a pretty good fish. It had taken his lucky Spook. A couple minutes later while we were still talking, it came back up and spit it back at him. It must have tasted bad.;)
 
Yep, so true....emoAngel Flip called and said,"What ya doin?" I said, "Fussin'" and I told him what had just happened. It was not that big but I think it would have been one of those 14 7/8th inch 2 lbers that look bigger than they are. I swung it into the boat and grabbed the line and as I was trying to get hold of it the line broke and it bounced off the side of the boat back into the water with my spook still in it's mouth.emoBang We talked for about 10 minutes and I was lucky to be looking the way it had gone and about 40 yards out I see this bass jump up and throw out my spook.emoWorthy I was sure glad Flip called because I would have been on my way to the next cast if he had not called and I had not stopped. Got that spook back for another day.emoBigsmile Jmax
 
Well that fish was either throwing it back at you as ridicule .. or a future challenge! :) Either way .. that'll save you from having to buy a replacement!!! I hate losing my favorite lures. Especially from some stupid cast which is how I lose most of mine. It certainly isn't from catching a lot of big fish! emoLaugh

TT I posted a report earlier where I had found a crank bait out in front of one of the places you usually fish. It looked brand new and I was surprised you did not say something. Must not have been yours.:) Jmax
 
Jmax, you need to try my nickajack pattern on Chickamauga. I am telling you, it will work.
