I had a guide trip yesterday and I took Bill Aries and his two daughters from Florida yesterday afternoon for an evening trip on the Tennessee river. They are up here on Fall break and decided they wanted to fish. And fish they did. TVA had every other flood gate open and the turbins wide open. I figure TVA must be doing the winter draw down for Chickamauga. We made a few drifts for Rock fish and did not catch any and the flood gates made me a little nervous especially with clients that were not use to the rough water so we went down river and hit a few of my old reliable spots. Katelynn scored first with a smallmouth and not to be out done by her sister Whitney caught a spotted bass. Dad I think had the largest fish of the evening. But we got on the fish really good the last hour and a nice mix of fish. They caught smallmouth, largemouth, spotted bass, rockfish, cherokee, catfish and a shad. All fish were caught freelining live bait. Here's a few of the fish they caught.

Great fish BFG! You really know how to get those folks on the good bass. How do you rig to freeline the shad? I assume that you are using threadfins.

Well made to Nickajack Friday morning and got to catfish some and did it turn me on so good.I really like the Tenn River catfishing better than I do Priest.I got ahold of some big cats down there.Thought my stepson was going to dive in a few times after some jugs he was so excited.I might have to try and get up again Sunday morning and try it out again.
