Chickamauga Monday 80519

My wonderful wife allowed me to take J-Bird fishing this morning on her birthday. Jay and I had a so so 4 hours of crappie fishing. 7 keepers, a couple of short fish and a Blue catfish that was pushing 8 pounds. We forgot to take a pic of the catfish, but I can get it this evening when I clean fish if anyone is interested. I don’t expect any requests. Grin.

water temp was 82 degrees out of Skull Island where we launched. We caught two keepers at the intake community hole and it appears that the community has thinned the herd on that spot. Lolol

I caught one keeper on a dock upriver from there , but we caught most of our fish on a main river drop off on stumps. Blue Ice Baby Shads and Monkey Milk Minnow Mind’Rs we’re best. I did catch one keeper on a Roly Poly MM early before daylight.

Water flow was over 19,000 cfs when we started. FYI, I am having minor finger surgery to remove a cyst and bone spurs in a few days and the Doctor has already told me that I won’t be fishing for 14 days after the surgery. I’ll be into high school football by then and won’t miss much. Lolol.

Nice catch, that last one has some shoulders. Hope everything goes well with the minor surgery, the fish will be waiting for you return.

Nice catch, great pics, thanks for sharing. Good luck with the surgery, heal well friend, and quick so you can go feeshing again.

Thanks for the trip. I appreciate you taking the time to show me the way you do things on your boat. I have learned something new each time we have gone together and my catch rate has improved. I checked on the TARP size for yellow bass...11 inches.

Tell your wonderful wife Happy Birthday! Good luck with your surgery and trip to see your daughter!

Another great report! Good luck with the surgery!

Be reading the next DK report before you know it. I too am ready for some football! :cheers2

Looking forward to your next report. Best wishes on your surgery.

Happy Belated Birthday Mrs. Wanda! [emoji322][emoji512][emoji323]
