Thankfully, TVA closed all gates at Watts Bar and are beginning to fill Chickamauga slowly. They were running 5 turbines and 46,000+ cfs with a surface temp of 58 degrees.

Foggy start to our morning, but a fine 2 hours and 20 minutes later we had our limits plus White Bass. On our first drift in the fog, I hooked and landed our biggest fish at 11 lbs. We ended up with 12 Stripers landed and 3 pulled off after hooking up. Two of those were big fish that I had on for 3-5 minutes each and never got them close to the boat.

Super salty 5” flukes on a blue Shad head jig and 4/0 hook. The 5 big White bass that we landed were caught on White Ice fluke Jrs.

My brother in law and nephew accompanied me today. It is a beautiful day and I may have some honey do jobs to finish this afternoon. :biggrin
