lafae7, Conasauga river, Largemouth and Striped bass, 04/24/2016, Alone

[lafae7]

I went and tried another water I have never fished today. It felt good to fish the conasauga river.... It reminded me when I was little were I would walk a long ways just to fish the chickamauga creek. I decided to go ahead and post this hoping it would help someone.

(Side note) I fished Carters lake a little yesterday evening and couldn't really get on a good spotted bass bite. I only caught a few ones there on grubs....

Anyways back to the conasauga. I started out throwing some trout magnets and didn't have a bite so I went with a white rooster tail and eureka! i caught several small largemouth bass and a few decent pound to 2 pound stripers. There was also someone else I ran into telling me that he was catching some on a white buck tail jig. All in all it was a great morning with lots of action in some pretty strong current.... Did I mention there was no wind emosmile

Sounds like fun. Were you catching stripers that small, or "stripe"?

It was hard to tell at the time emoscratch... I guess i was so excited i just wasn't focused. I think I was more focused on identfying the snakes around me emolaugh.... it made me miss fishing from my bass boat. Thinking back they were more like a rock fish/hybrids maybe. I wish I would of got a picture of a few. There will be a next time though for sure with a pair of snake boots emoparty
