Had a good day bed picking shell cracker at Nickajack today. Had about 2 dozen decent sized fish and my biggest shell cracker of the year….a 12 inch brute. Sure was a ton of fun on the Abu Garcia Diplomat Extreme 6’ 2” UL Area Trout Rod using the 2.3# test ES2 ester line. The lure…….a Bison colored Trout Magnet on a Daiwa Gekkabijin 1.5 gram jig head #10 hook. Time to move on from Nickajack. The spawn is done there and during the daytime hours in the summer the bluegill bite is almost non existent. Of course I am sure the bite is good very early morning or very late evening but the drive is too far for me to get there early…could do the evening bite though. Checked out the tail race before heading home and it was void of fish. I hope it was just an off day below the dam as it has been a great spot for me in summer months with Spotted bass and crappie. Life is good!

Regards
