Watts Bar night 8-9-06

[jon the fisherman]

I decided at 10:00 to go fishing, I had no partner so I went by myself. I put in at Rockwood's Tom Fuller Park and never started the big motor. I worked all the points in the cove with a TR red shad worm. I only caught four, two were slicks and the other two were larger. I would guess 3 pounds and 4 1/2 pounds. The Water was 87-88 degrees with lots of moon light. All fish were caught about 10' deep with 20+ nearby. I did not realize my hat was off when I took the pics, so that is why I look like a mad manemoTongue

Congrats! Thanks for sharing... seems as if you and I are on opposite schedules, you're coming in about the time I'm going out. Sleep well...

I'm glad someone is catching fish.... glad for you. JTF BTW nice hair do...LOL

Nice fish .. especially that number two!!! I'm wondering how you all do it? Work all day ... fish all night??? I need my 8 hours of sleep or I'm just not right the next day. Age does terrible things to you when you don't get enough sleep!

I also didn't think you looked like a madman and was wondering .. how did you take that picture? Tripod?

You always look like a mad man, daddy-O. Nice pics and report!

 

[Tr19]

Man those are some nice bass . Did you fish all night ?

 

[jon the fisherman]

Since I don't have to work the rest of this week, I figured I would go at night. I fished till about 3, and I was pooped out. I will probably do it again tonight.

 

[Tr19]

What kind of boat do you have JTF ? I might see you up there tonight . Just haven't made up my mind which end of the lake I want to go on .

 

[jon the fisherman]

I have a 19' Norris Craft with a 200 merc. It is Black with a creme color accent and red pinstripe. If I go, It will be around Theif Neck, I know that area pretty well for night time fishing.

 

[Tr19]

I will be in a white with red strip triton tr19 . 200 Mer. Optimax . It will probably be around 8 before I get up there .

 

[jon the fisherman]

I will be starting at the slough half way between the cut-thru and Bayside directly across from Martin Branch.

 

[Tr19]

We call that one Chase's slough . Good fishing in there right before dark !

 

[jon the fisherman]

Yeah, I like to hit the stumpy point in the back when I can. I have caught some real nice ones in there. I hope it will storm down there this afternoon to cool the water a little. Seems like after it storms, I catch bigger ones up shallower.

[TennesseeTalker]
