Well I spent the evening and nite on Tims Ford, Friday. The bite was slow and extremely soft. I put 2 small large mouth in the boat and 1 nice smallie 3.49 lb. When I left Chattanooga (4:00 P.M) it was 102 and when I launched out of Tims Ford State Park (5:30 P.M.) it was 73 and raining. Probably had something to do with the bite. I fished the lower end of the lake and caught each of the fish on C-Rigs using 3/8 0unce bullet weights  with Lazer Sharp 3/0 extra wide off set and Watermelon Pumpkin and a Blue Flek 4 1/2 inch Case Jack Worms.</p>

  What little activity took place abround Midnight till 2:00 A.M. fishing points in 18 to 22 feet water. The bites were extremely soft and felt the line get heavy and if I didn't try setting the hook they would just let the bait go. I thought it felt like it could of been one of those notorious Wall-Eye finicky bites so I swithched over to some Crank-baits but had no takers. Got off the water at 4:00 A.M. and reached the house at 5:30 A.M..</p>

  All in all I thought it was a great trip.   Got a little damp but reached the house with NO injury to man or boat. I will be fishing it again soon and if anyone interested in joining me , send me a message.</p>

emoLaugh Thanks for the report 1armbndt. I have had the oppertunity to experience that "walleye" sniff and go. Glad you made it out there and back. Keep the reports coming.
 
Great report! Dont let the slow action bother you it will get better as fall approaches. May be we can go when it cools a bit.
