Caught a nice limit of fish pitching the out side of dock posts in the shade on the main lake in the mid day and afternoon. Also had luck earlier in the morning flipping wood structures in the middle to back of creeks. Just covered water til I got a bite then picked up xtra fish in those areas

The weather was calling for afternoon thunderstorms. With plenty of cloud cover, I casted out and let it sink. With some subtle twitches and I slow retrieve, this guy hammered it. The hook set was right in the top of the mouth.

The bite was really tough on the ledges today but managed to catch some fish with slower presentations like a drop shot, bigger shakey head, and a football jig. The TVA was not pulling much current today. Big fish was 4.38lbs.

Casting out and just letting her fall to the bottom, I began dancing the worm along the bottom. Making sure to just let it pulse and slowly inching over the rocks, this bass just couldn't resist. When he hit it, he hammered it. Today was all about taking my time and slow, deliberate moves.

Fishing around noon, with the temps already climbing, I casted my lure out there and just let it sink. Using a straight retrieve, this guy hammered it with a hookset in the top of the mouth. There was no doubt this guy was going to fight all the way to the bank. So much fun!

With temps in the lower 90s, I let that bait sink down to the bottom. With a slow twitching retrieve, I hopped it a couple of times, and this dude smoked it.

I used a 1/10 Ned head and let it sink. Upon swimming it back with a little twitch, I killed it a few times. This guy hammered it! The temps were high, but this guy was still hungry.

The heat was hot, and the sun was bright. Let the Ned sink deep with a lot of pauses. The bite was light, and the hook set was hard. This fish actually hit pretty close to the bank.

Went fishing for a little bit around midday caught one bass on a Texas rig senko under some docks near Yellowjacket. Then caught another near Holiday Park at a point. Found a hole about 40ft deep, but didn't have enough time to fish it.

Chatterbait worked great when we had a little wind and less sun. When the wind stopped and full sun had to put Neko rig on
