East TN Afternoon Fun

[Rambler24]

Seeing all the pics of these big bluegill caught lately has had me itching to bust out the ultralight gear. I spent a few hours on the water yesterday afternoon. Unfortunately, we don't have any copper nose here in East Tennessee, but I still enjoy the 6-8" fish that are plentiful in our waters. Caught a few 8" fish drop shotting off a rocky point 18-20 feet deep. Caught several more throwing a purple haze trout magnet. I'm sure my catch rates on the trout magnet would improve greatly if I could ever master Alphahawk's twitch method. All in all it was fun day and that is what fishing is all about.
