Me and my girl fished Percy Priest today. Caught a bunch of 9-91/2" fish. Ended up sqeaking by with 8 keepers, their size didn't make me want to do an end-zone dance though. :D Saw some other guys fishing shallow stumps (3-5') and snatchin' out fiddlefarters one after the other. By that time I was on a deeper drop (15-19') and although I only caught 2 on it, mine both got a livewell ride. Caught the most fish on a drop from 6'-12' early. H2O temp.= 52.7-53.5 down 1 deg. from last Sun. The Man checked my fish again, and I asked him if anybody was catchin many and he pointed at a guy acoss the way and said he had several good fish. Thats when I went to a little deeper cause that guy was on some good deep brush 18'-22'. When I went to vertical jiggin' my girlfriend got bored before long and I finally left. Could be the barometric pressure it went up this morning for a while then started dropping this afternoon. I had hoped it would drop on out this a.m. but it didn't.
