Woke up Saturday morning not so happy with the lack of current. My guests were Bill and Gus from Chicago down vacationing in Chattanooga. I told them they were willing to reschedule when conditions were better...Response was "Hey, we have been trying to catch a fish for 4 days without success" So off we went.
Again I had a lot of takedowns and unbuttons. We boated some nice blue cats, which were their first ever to catch, so they were already excited. We then marched off to grab some bluegill, and put about 25 nice ones in...then current cut back even further, and the anchor bit died. I wasn't prepared to drift, but ol shsimmons bailed me out by donating secret drift bait emoRolleyes
We then proceed to drift and on 4 lb line on microlight rods and reels, we quickly are undergunned! Boated some nice channels and lost a great fish on a piling.
I tell them sorry for the slow day and they go "Dude, what are you saying, we caught over 30 fish!"
Needless to say they were happy, happy, happy!

In the evening I met up with Steve that has been with me before. We concentrated mostly on anchor fishing new spots and we caught about 9 blues, mostly small, current was so slowwwwwww. For a few hours we did ok, and enjoyed a beautiful evening on the water
