Sunday (10-15) Tailwater Cats

[rsimms]

Sorry... had to wait until I got pics in e-mail. You know how I hate posting without pics.
Tim Sullivan and his buddy Craig finally got to make the big trip from Dickson, TN to the Scenic City. The Chickamauga Tailwater cats were marginally cooperative, although it really didn't matter too much. Tim & Craig have spent many hours in a boat together and are pretty darn entertaining with or without fish. The best story of the day was when they doubled up on a pair of good-sized channel cats. Their lines got crossed and tangled. We got Tim's fish and he proceeced to cut his line so Craig could get his fish in. Instead Tim cut Craig's line... but SWEARS it was an accident. emoLaugh I've got to remember that trick.

You would be correct.... really only found tailwater fish in two spots, beneath turbines and one other "marginally secret" spot downriver. Unlike day before - see http://www.chattanoogafishingforum.com/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=5174&posts=4 - we had zero big fish bites Sunday. In early AM they were running 34,000 cfs and I really couldn't get to fish beneath the boils. At Noon they backed off to 19,000 and we hit 'em pretty good.
