Fort Loudoun 12/8

[ET Fish]

Had a couple free hours this afternoon, so decided to take a quick trip to Ft. Loudoun at the Singleton ramp. Because we only had a couple of hours, ran to one of my favorite brush piles, which is currently 15 - 17 FOW. Started and finished with BGBS, Blue Grass, and a great jig head I purchased from Grousefly (the guy does good work!). Flipped across the brush and let it pendulum back to the boat. Had a pretty good bite for the two hours, and kept 9 big uns! Caught at least that many more. However, you had to be a line watcher! The bigger ones would just create slack or cause the line to jump. All were caught on the swing or held still. They didn't want it swimming!

Had a great afternoon with my wife, and we both needed some "fun" fishing! I have been fishing in the ETCC tourneys this year, and it is super fun, but I have always loved competition. A great bunch of folks who make you feel welcome, thump you fishing, and then tell you how they fished! The education opportunity is why I joined, but the fun and quality folks is what makes me look forward to it every month! The next tourney is a week from Saturday on Cherokee Lake, and all are welcome to participate! Cherokee is a lake I have never fished, so for anyone who knows the lake, please feel free to PM me!!!!

Going to try to add a picture, as I finally took some after the trip, but before the "deed"!
