Todd Trivett and his Dad, Jerry, came down from Knoxville for a Scenic City Fishing voyage today. It was a "hunt & peck" sort of day. The drift bite for catfish is lackluster at best. There's a few key spots holding some decent fish, but only one (I know about) that is consistently holding quality fish. If that hole dries up on me, I'm in trouble. emoEek

We had to use our patience pills today. But it paid off with six or eight quality fish in the 10 to 25 lb. range, and a goodly number of eaters scattered here and yon. I'd say we easily passed 150 lbs. of fish in a six-hour day. Can't complain about that.

We also enjoyed a 30-minute "ultralight break" when MrWhiskers put us on a goggle-eye hole. We didn't find the goggle-eye, but we found a passle of good bluegill, a couple of spots and a couple of cats that pushed the ultralight rods to the limit. And that means life is good and gettin' better every day!
