Jerdog and I took his boat below Chickamauga Dam. I picked up 3 dozen large shiners and we launched from the river park at 7:30am. We fished the wingwall and rockpile below the Dam using shiners, twister tails, and trolling lures. Nothing but skipjack and 4-5 small bass wanted the shiners. We then decided to troll some crankbaits and caught 8-10 smallies with a couple largemouth mixed in - all were small. Finally got 2 nice smallmouth and a big channel cat. We left about 1:00pm. I did not have the digital camera but took some pics with a disposable camera of the 2 nice smallmouth, maybe in a few days I will post them. Water temp was about 72-74 I think...I am going back in the morning for more of the same or to Nickajack Dam to see what's happening down there with the stripers.
