Well, the AL deer season is over- time to break back in to fishing. And what a first day we had! Dave (slo-ride) played guide today, and after scootin&#39; back and forth below the tailrace for awhile, he put us on the fish. We tried Foley spoons, trolling plugs, and popping castmaster spoons off the bottom before really putting a pattern together. We fished in water from 15&#39; to &#43;30&#39; deep, but the vast majority of fish came off the bottom in around 20&#39; of water. Water temp was stayed around 47 degrees. <br />We didn&#39;t keep count but we probably boated around 40 fish (kept best 20 for the fry-pan). Most were right around 1.25-1.75 lbs, but we had a few that were right @ 2 lbs. Big fish of the day was Dave&#39;s 12-9 drum. <br />Jamie put the whoopin&#39; on us again though. She was catching 2 fish to every one of mine and Daves. Awesome day to be out. Thanks again for an incredible trip!
