I had a couple of hours free this afternoon and made a quick run over to the Tennessee River here in Chattanooga. The fishing is good right now with lots of active fish. I managed a nice largemouth to go along with the usual yellow bass. Unfortunately I had a problem with the camera so no pictures to share...
The largemouth hit a #4 Simi Seal Streamer stripped fairly fast in shallow water and the yellow bass liked a smaller #8 white woolly bugger fished a bit slower. The exciting news is that the stripers are being caught the last few days. According to another fisherman I talked to, there was at one guy that caught nice stripers on 3 consecutive casts at one point. I'm guessing they were probably schooling and chasing baitfish. That is my goal for fishing the river, to catch a striper. Hopefully I'll accomplish that one soon...
I'll be going back to fishing for trout, probably sometime next week, but until then I might make another trip over to the river to look for those stripers. Wish me luck!
Glad to see your taking time to relief stress from school and going fishing. Great post you,ve been writing and thanks for linking to my fishing site. Been awhile since my last visit due to my work schedule but I'll try to visit more often and hope we can still get in some fishing this year when the water warms up for wading the creeks.
ReplyDeleteI repair an olympus camera with a piece of aluminium foil. I hope that you take some photos other day.
