Nick-A-Jack Monday Oct. 23

[BigFishGuide]

Fished Monday afternoon nice cool evening and a good change of pace for my son and I (no football practice). I also had my good friend with us so I guided for them, baited hooks, re-tied and un-tangled lines etc everything a good guide should do. Anyway we had a banner evening with the Rock fish cooperating for us. The first 7 drifts we had fish on. My son and my friend got into a little competition with who could catch the most fish and of coarse my son won that bet hands down 20 - 7 he's quite the fisherman and he can certainly talk the talk and back it up. Unfortunately I forgot my digital camera and all we had was my camera phone so these photo's will just have to do. All fish were caught on live bait that we found on the walls. Nick-A-Jack was still spilling. TVA spills through the week and very little on the weekend if any. I guess they are afraid someone will get up there in the flood gates and drown. If you do go and Nick is spilling be VERY CAREFUL the way the water spills through the gate causes a back flow and it will pull you up into the flood gates.

Also as a side note I saw that Thunder Thorton has started developing the Shellmound project.

Great fish! Please tell me that boy had a life preserver on under his jacket.

 

[BigFishGuide]

He had two on....One under the jacket and I've got a extra Co2 inflatable that he likes to wear like his daddy. I make him wear the other one ( the jacket type) untill he is of legal age. You can actually see the yellow lanyard in the photo's if you know what you are looking for.

Awesome, knew it had to be that way. Looks like that will be a day he will remember forever, especially since he caught the most. My 11 y.o. can out flip me once in a while, gives him a real kick, and I hear about it! Have a great day, man.
