Chickamauga 04/08 - midday trip - great weather

I found myself with a few hours free Saturday so I fished between 11:00AM and 3:00PM on 04/08 - the fishing was tougher than the last few weeks but that might be due to the time of the day we hit the water. The weather was great (warmed up a lot and no wind) and there were a lot of fisherman on the lake. We cleaned 9 and threw back probably 10 or so, cooked a handful on the green egg that night and they were delicious! The females had fewer eggs and were caught on the deeper docks - 12+ feet with the better fishing being closer to 17 feet and the fish hanging close to the bottom. The males were in the 4'-8' range. Also caught a pretty warmouth in shallow:

Good job Rob. Nice fish and pics. We've been picking up a warmouth or two on our trips. I enjoy catching those rascals even if it's for a brief period of time. A very secretive fish !

Nice catch and I agree with Muskrat. The good warmouth just disappear after the spawn.
