Dr Phillip's Grandkids Riverpark 12/19/2017
I was greatly honored yesterday afternoon to take Dr Phillip's SIL and Grand kids fishing below Chickamauga dam. Adam wanted to get his sons into bluegill fishing at an early age and we were able to manage just that for a short period of time.
We only had a couple of hours to fish before the threat of rain had us scurrying for cover. TVA was blasting at the new lock site and we had to stay downriver a couple of hundred yards for about 45 minutes total of the two hours that we had to fish. They finally let us up to the RR trestle bridge pilings and after a short scan of the area, we put Crazy Ivan on Spot Lock and let the boys help us catch a few fish. They were small bluegills today, but we also caught yellow bass and one short crappie. The boys seemed to have fun. I know that I did.
This is just the beginning for Austin (4) and Braxton (2.5) and I'm sure that we will get many more opportunities to take the boys out when they come in for a visit to Papaw Phil. Bobby Garland Itby Bitsy with Powerbait crappie nibbles were what the fish liked today.
