Hey guys....I just wanted to give a quick report on the Southern Cats Assoc. event yesterday......Overall it seemed to be a tuff day of fishing for everyone.....To me it seemed like the fish were just not wanting to feed.....You had to hit one in the head, while anchored I had two good bites, but both fish spit the bait out before I could get the circle hooks in them.......We had 7 boats, not a big crowd but everyone seemed to enjoy themself.....First paid $420, Second $262.50, Big Cat $157.50....Over half of the field were newcomers to SCA events, but I expect we will see them again......Now for the winners 1st and Big cat was Jennifer and Mike Mitchell with 4 blues weighing 83.14, the big blue was 44.2 lbs......Second went to David and Lester Harrison with 1 Blue weighing 35.14 pounds.
We caught our fish on skipjack, two of them in the morning below Nickajack dam, the other two including the 44 came from Nickjack lake......they were 30-50 ft deep, tight to structure, all caught drifting.
Second place was using Bream and they were anchored down in Nickajack lake, they fish Nickajack regularly, and let me tell you they had some photos to back it up....I'am talking about 70 & 80 lbers.
I would like to say thanks to all the participants and would like to tell everyone who has the opportunity to fish Nickajack that they truly have a first class catfishery....I'am thinking of doing two tournaments up there next year, one from shellmound and possibly one in the Chickamagua Dam area, If anyone would be interested in helping me put these tournaments together or even running them for SCA, email me or call anytime.
I will post pics at Southerncats.com when they are developed
May God Bless,
