Dropshot, Chickamauga, Bass, 10/24/2019, Copyman

After I fished a 2-day event with an ole friend of mine last weekend and drying out from Saturday, Dusty and I decided to hit the Chick for 2 hours late yesterday in hopes of finding either some frog fish or some better fish in the jumps. Ran to our first spot and within minutes we say 2-3 groups in the jumps. Dusty quickly boated3 fish on a chatterbait as we located a school away from the jumps and I also caught 4 bass. Once we got to them the fun started. First cast and I hooked doubles on a topwater prop bait. Got them to the boat and as Dusty netted one came off. Oh well. Good 2.5 pound fish quickly released. Caught 5 more this way with the biggest at 4 pounds. About twenty minutes before dark the topwater bite just stopped. Caught three more from school we initially found then called it a night. Best three would have gotten us 10.5 pounds or so. All fish caught on chatterbait, topwater, and crankbait.

Excuse my ignorance, but what do you mean when you say "the jumps".

Re; Random surface feeding anywhere on the lake. Funny as when I 1st heard that, I thought it was a specific location to catch bass. I'd never heard that either!
