Haven't been fishing as much as I need too lately. Work sucks!!!! But we've hit the river a couple times here the last two weeks and been catching a lot of smallmouth. Man they dig!! No giants, but decent fish. Using multiple methods. Topwater, drop shot, Texas rigs, jerk baits, and cranks have all been producing.

Thanks...means a lot coming from you. I don't have those skills yet alpha. They come with years of honing! But, I'd be glad to learn from the master himself!!!

You sound butt hurt that UT can't win a simple ball game!! Just a little background on myself, I am from Auburn University country, always been a DIE HARD ALABAMA FAN, and always will be. If it truly bothers you, then I suggest to NOT look at any of my post from here on out. Good day sir.

Thumbs up

I think I'm just more jealous over the fish having to see the shirt.

And There should at least be a 1998 in that Glass case. Man what a long time ago!

Hey Skillet the flow rates have been pretty low down below the dam and it sure looks like the water level is down. Are you finding the topwater bite to be a daybreak type of deal or are you hitting the shaded banks primarily? Are you locking through?

You are right, flow and water level has been low. But still able to use the ramp below the dam. The water level according to the TVA app was 386.90. Just really have to pay attention to what you're doing, but we haven't had an issue launching a 18'6 bass boat there. The top water is pretty much all day and haven't fished the shady side hardly any at all. I'm sure there's fish to be caught on the shady side, but we haven't fished it. The whopper plopper has been my bait of choice. I need to step away from it and try a walking style bait this weekend.
