4/26 Ron Taylor and I headed out to Percy Priest to pre-fish for next Saturdays F-3 bassmasters club tournament. We went out of Hurricane Creek ramp and hit one of my favorite points off the main lake. We had a couple dinks but nothing major on a watermelon jig. We moved back into the creek of 4-corners and was looking for some beds but none to be found. About 7-8 the rain buckets dumped out but the fish started biting. We started catching a few fish on rattle traps and jigs but nothing real good. I switched to a shakey head with a watermelon worm and started whacking them. From 6 to 11 we probably caught 25 plus bass. My big fish was rougly 4lbs caught on a jig up in Hamilton Creek. We took a break for lunch and headed out again. We fished some points and road beds down by the dam but didn't catch a whole lot. We moved back up lake toward the bridge and pulled into a cove and Ron started catching them with a 3.5lb largemouth on a carolina rigged lizard. He was up on me 7-2 on the second half of the day and started jaw jacking. That is all it took. I switched finesse worms and started a show. Ron had a limit of 5 fish for about 10 lbs and I had my best 5 go about 14lbs. Rob you better bring a lunch my friend!

Huh: So b/w the 2 of you you could have culled to around 17 lbs? You'd have been in the $$ in the Lion's Club for sure- I think 20 won it.
I'm fairly sure I've got that covered.
Should be a whackfest Saturday. Carl and I caught 40 on the nose with around 7 keepers but no big fish.
A buddy of mine fished the Lion's Club deal, and he and his dad caught around 40 with only one keeper (most of them on a 1/2 oz football jig- not a small fish bait). Tons of fish being caught, but the big fish are scarse- I figure most of the females are locked on right now, but they can change a lot in a week.
As long as I can keep you in sight in the points race this week, I've got a little smack-down waiting for you on Barkley in June. That's when you'll see who your daddy is. ;D

I thought that was you guys I saw on Saturday. I was leaving that one roadbed near the bridge when you guys were pulling in. I was callin to tell you that I had caught all the fish that over there. ;D ;D
I fished for a couple hours Saturday afternoon and then came back and fished that evening. Had a ton of short fish and 4 good keeper. I hope this cold front keeps em tight to the bank.
