[jon the fisherman]

Fished down below Thief Neck in Whites creek and near Eden Resort and did ok. Caught some up shallow on TR Watermelonseed lizard in 3 ft of water. Caught 6 in all, kind of slow with clear skies and 10 mph wind. These two pics are the largest I found.
Water Temp-64 in back of coves
Water Clarity-2+

That aint the only thing with a big belly in the pic. I guess the camera adds ten+ pounds and a few inches in the waiste.emoLaugh

Nice fish! Im going to fish watts bar sometime this week in the afternoon when I can get a chance. Probably put in at the recreation area across the dam. A guy here in dayton caught a 9 and a 7 up there last week.

It has been picking up on the Bar. Be careful out there, lots of debris in the water since friday's three inches of rain.

Nice fish Jon. Jon has the same problem me and WHEN have from time-time, ever since they started biting CORNDOGS, we have to take about three dozen with us and we usually eat whats leftover.

Another nice day! I can't believe you haven't set an 'emergency' CFF date for the Bar, jtf!! We'll know what's up if one suddenly appears on the calendar!!
