If it was a green and white creastliner with a 90. Woman was an 11 year old girl. Yes. We were double and tripleing on every pass and i was doing all the rigging. Doing 10 minute recovery times. Fished poorly but did hammer um. In 23 to 31 hanging um at 17 and 12. Big O deep diving was really working. Dipseey rattle was the only slow set I had. We were killing um out front. Watch the gulls their gathering by us at 845pm. Me and my primary partner will be on um this evening. Looking to get the recovery under 2 minutes. Stopped and cast too um a bit. 6 inch swim bait on the bottom was working also.
Dont mind sharing space, but please dont approach my boat on the water. Were pulling 6 and I'll be steering to avoid everybody. Good Luck.

You trolled by me several times, I always wear and long bill hat with the long sides so I do not get that much sun on my face. I was vertical fishing the edges of the road past the intersection using shad. I was the furthest out boat from all the others.
I saw you catch several while I was out there. I kind of got crowded out so I moved on which I am glad as I finished up pretty good. Good Luck as I try to not fish weekends as the crazies take over the lake. I will be back at Monday if you see me stop by and say hello and if you need any shad I will have extra.

Each days different. Started at 620pm. Buddy has a triple on his side of the boat before I got my side completly rigged. Great fish for 45 minutes. Clouds came over from a storm to the west. Fish went away. Only scattered singles. Gulls came around but never dove, no splashing. Gave up around 10. Largest 24" caught maybe 12. Not wonderful at all.

In the pocket behind the island where the channel bows and in the slit on the left side of the dam at the mouth of the cove in 16 to 25. Fish were totally stacked like Christmas trees. Couldnt buy a bite. Left at midnight. Another 80 bucks or so of lures in Clinton lake. Cabelas is again out of the big Tennessee Chrome Shad rattletraps that seem to be the hot color this year. Clintons been pretty good to me this year. But two trips this week really sucked.

I never troll on the north side of the island any more,,,there are a bunch of stumps out there and u will lose your lure's every time,,80 bucks plus
