Went out the day before all the cold hit TN, started fishing on Tellico Lake in the afternoon, fished a bluff bank the entire afternoon, caught three in 3 and half hours. First came on a jenko Purses Jerbait, was a just under 2lb smallmouth, then made another pass on the same bank with a Jenko Jpod double flash umbrella rig, with jerky j swim 3.5in albino shad baits and one kiatech 4in albino shad bait kn the middle. Caught a 5lb and about 20min later a 4.25lb largemouth on the same pass. When the clouds came in and the sun went away, that was it. Was a great day in my opinion even though it was cold.

Went out for a few hours, weather wasn't great, mainly looking for active fish. Caught first fish off a Beaver house with a Castaic Atlas Spinnerbait, but with the weather the way it was decided to slow down some. Caught 2 more off two different Beaver houses in different coves on the new Riot Baits Cyclone in green pumpkin using a 3/8 woo Tungsten no chip flipping weight. Both fish crushed the bait when they hit. Biggest fish of the day was 1.78lbs in 3 and half hours. I caught 3 in total. Not bad with rainy weather in the afternoon.

Went out in the afternoon, caught three fish, caught one on a Riot Raptor lipless crankbait in Seibold Red, on a bluff wall, boat was in about 15ft of water and throwing parallel along the bank. Caught a 2nd fish in on another Pass along this bank using a Rapala DT 6, in red craw color. Honestly probably could have kept throwing the Raptor but picked this up and caught another one. I moved to some of the coves down the lake some and started flipping Beaver houses and caught another on the Riot Fuzzy Beaver in Green pumpkin color with a WOO Tungsten flipping weight 3/8oz. I was out for about 4hrs, and caught three fish, smallest was just over a lb in weight and largest was just under 2lbs. Figured out a couple things in the bluff bank, probably could have caught a few more if I would have stayed out longer. Overall was happy with my day.
