Wednesday morning chickamauga

[brewm]

Not a good day fishing for me. No water being pulled.

Early caught a 2lb on a carolina rig off channel on a hump. Missed more than I caught. Gave that up. Broke out the chicken livers emoSmile caught 1 drum near nuke plant. Nothing at harrison bluffs. No cats even.

Going friday hopefully to allatoona to hybrid fish. Hired a guide. Hopefully it will be a good day there. I'm taking my camera, any whoppers and I'll post.

I have thought about making my way to Allatoona myself. I am definitly anxious to hear about what method your guide uses to target fish...Good Luck!!!

Man!!!!!!!! What a great day for fishing early in July! I sure hated to miss it. Cool, cloudy, not much traffic on the lake. It killed me not to be able to be out there today. I hope the next time that I'm off I get a day like today to fish. Did anyone else out there get out on the lake? I would think that with the storms coming from the south that it would have had some great potential.

I wasn't able to get out there. I didn't get off of work til 3 am on 3/6 and consequently slept to noon. Going to get up early and try in the morning.

Did you get out or did the weather stop you?

Three days in a row I have driven over the dam on the way to Hixson and saw baitfish flipping around on the surface. I have never fished where this activity is at, so the location is hard to describe. There appear to be a series of shallow water markers out close to the red channel markers. The shallow marker closest to the dam and right out from the swimming area is where they are jumping. Today as I crossed the dam at noon I saw birds diving on them.

Where in Nickajack did you find that jump? I haven't seen any on Chickamauga yet but there usually are some by this time of year. They can be a lot of fun can't they? Were they over a structure of some kind? Were they out over a channel?
