It was a little bit cold when we first launched the boat, and didn’t warm up much either while Dr Phil and I were fishing the Tail waters of Watts Bar, plus all 5 turbines running and 10 floodgates open and the flow rate a healthy 69,994 cfs when we started fishing. But the first 3 gates next to the wing wall were not spilling and that made for a very nice seam to fish.
It took 4 drift patterns before we hit on the one that produced fish. But it was our largest Striper of the morning, a healthy 15 pounds of muscle and attitude. Grin. Over the next 4 hours or so, we landed 16 Stripers, 3 Walleyes, and 8 White bass. I had 4 more fish pull off after hookup and Phil had a couple of pull offs as well.
One day I’m going to show him the secret to hooking these things up. I landed 14 and he landed his limit. (2). I caught all the Walleyes and 1/2 of the White bass and the strangest thing is we were fishing with the same identical baits, line size, and jig head weights. I have (it) and he is trying to catch it.
I can’t explain why this happens either. Some days, he catches more than me and I don’t know why that happens either.
Water temp was 51.3 on my graph with 69,994 flow rate, cloudy early, then some sun, then cloudy again. We had the area to ourselves until 10:00 when 3 boats showed up and began fishing basically the same as we were.
All the Walleye came from the same area which will remain with me for a while. Grin. I kept one Striper that was hooked in the gills and bleeding badly. Released all other Stripers. I landed 2 keeper Walleyes(20”), and had the third dip his tail in the net and jumped back out and off. Phil said it was short, so we will go with that, but I think it was a keeper. Grin.

'Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:
The blind see and the lame walk; lepers are cleansed and deaf hear; dead are raised up and poor have the gospel preached to them.

Brrr, looks cold from here in the warm office. Was cold here this morning and has not warmed up much, and very windy up here. Those are some pretty fish, especially the toothy ones. Good to see where all our water is going, my bank fishing spots are high and dry right now, so I am building structure at these low water levels in hopes they will put the stopper back in our bathtubs!!
