The smallmouth were hungry and aggressive today. Their bellies are fat with eggs and it is fixing to get good in the creeks. Plan is to hit the lake next Saturday for some crappie action if weather plays out.
Finally got into some spotted bass. The smallmouth were hitting the Ned rig and the spots were hitting a small swim bait. Love the fight in those creek spots. My buddy is swapping boats and he should have his new one by next weekend so the plan is to get back on the crappie. Love fishing this...
I thought I would go try it this morning with the chance of rain moving in later. The bite was tough but when you got a bite they were this size and they thumped it hard. I love how hard these creek smallmouth fight.
For the last several years it has been a tradition on my Christmas vacation to hit the creek for some smallmouth. It was slow today but managed six with these two the average size. Nothing big but man they fight like a four pounder. It should get really good after Christmas.
That will need a chiropractor when season is over? The older I get these long hours in the stand make it rough on my back. I know the perfect remedy for this would be to get a shot on one early but that never happens. It just shows the passion we have for deer hunting because I wouldn’t have it...
I have been hunting for 35+ years and saw a buck breed a doe for the first time this afternoon. I watched him bedded up with her for probably two hours and right at last light she got on her feet and he was on her. He is a mature buck for sure. Will he stay locked down with her or is he done...
Percy Priest Lake in middle TN. My buddy has fished this lake quite a bit and has several spots marked. Hope to go again before the weather really start’s changing…actually this upcoming week looks like a pretty good cold front.
Me and my buddy had a pretty good day yesterday. We had to grind it all day and hit several spots but managed a good stringer. Caught them in 15 to 20 foot on brush/stumps on minnows.
The fire has not hit me yet to climb in the stand yet this season. So I went this afternoon and waded the creek for a couple of hours. I did catch six small bass but just fishing on a beautiful day felt great.

Looked out the window and watched them chase and harass each other for thirty minutes. Maybe just to stay warm!! I have started to see them more the last few weeks but didn’t expect it today.
