Frank was running a little late so i idled to a deep stretch close to the ramp that Dad & I have caught some really good SM on in the summertime. Caught a 15” brownfish on my 1st cast, short, but good sign. There were fish there; just wrong size. Fished there for 2+ hours and picked up a couple more short SM. Moved up to slack water below lock and not a sniff at all. 11 o’clock we started drifting the stretch behind Chatt State and picked up a short smallmouth and a drum. Only boated 4 small mouths and the drum. Caught’em on senko, dd22, in 20FOW and SB in the 8 FOW on the flat.

Broke a throttle cable at 1 close to the ramp on our way to another stop. Perfect excuse to put her on the trailer and head to the house lol.

Congrats to the guys that got some good bites.

That one thing about owning a boat. There is always something to fix or work on. It was a tough night.
