Chick Tailwaters 1-27

Catfished HARD below the dam today, to no avail. Gave up the cats about two hours before dark and started throwing tube jigs for smallies. Of course the very first thing I caught was a catfish (5 lb. blue) ... figures. emoBang Then I hung a good smallie... fought him to the boat, I think he would have gone 5 lbs. (or close to it). One last jump resulted in a long line release. emoBangemoBang Oh well, I got the "good" out of him. Talked to one fellow at the ramp who said he caught a 6 lber.

What kind of tubes were you using and what color, if you dont mind telling of course I've been wanting to go below chick dam for some smallies but have never got down there yet. Are there specific areas where the smallies congregate? Could you explain some areas where I could most likely hook into one? Sorry about all the questions. Never been down there and dont know where the good areas to fish are.

Thanks,
Ryan

Actually it wasn't chartreuse.. but it was green. Watermelon Seed to be exact.

From what you have said in the past, I thought that you were a die hard chartreuse guy! Guess that I was wrong about you.
