I was able to get out fishing on Saturday afternoon. Didn't go to the Caney Fork as I got kind of a late start. I decided to do some wading in the creeks and it turned out to be a good choice. Caught lots of smallies like this
and almost an uncountable number of rockbass. The rockbass were stacked up in spots like this and would hit most any small plastic or spinnerbait.
I did lose a couple nice smallmouth bass as I was using a trout magnet setup with the 2lb test/ 2lb leader and I could not stop the bigger fish from going under the rock ledges and breaking off. I finally switched to a 6lb leader and landed more the 14 inch fish, but didn't hook a big one on the larger leader. This was mostly because I was in the best spot with the 2lb leader and spooked the hole before changing.
It was a good lesson that light tackle is fun, but too light of tackle is just frustrating.
At any rate, it was fun to get out and catch some fish.
