Ivey Loc: South Central Tennessee, Tim's Ford Lake

Got about 3 hours today between rain showers and the Smallies came out to play. Pulled into one small cove just off the main channel the has two points side by side right in the middle. Made two casts with the tight line rig and hooked up, the fish went nuts jumping one after another. Finally got it landed and made a bad mistake, I didn't retie. withe eh 4 pound test it is imperative to retie after every fish and I know that well. Made another cast, let the rig sink and started twitching the rod tip. It loaded up and the fish on the other end was a heavy dude who headed right to the top and burst the water a good 3 feet. that happened two more times and I just knew I had the fish beat. got it to the boat and it made that one last run and broke off. It was a dandy, probably the biggest I've caught in several years but he'll be there for the next guy or time I get back out. Ended the day with the biggest fish, a 21 inch fat girl that thought she was a world record or she fought like it any way put her back and I felt a rain drop, got loaded up and the boat covered just before the rain really started pouring.

Looks like a great day.
Weather here has been insane.
Mid last week was low 70s
High today was 41 and Sunday night we had 2.4 inches of rain. That beat the old record set in 96 by an inch.
We are still about 3 weeks out to start and it will be slow.
5 weeks it will start turning on.
You can bet, I’ll be out there hunting them down!!

Great job Mike, that last one is the longest Smalljaw I've ever seen. What's your water temperature down there? I've got all my gear ready, just waiting on the weather to turn. Getting more snow tomorrow.

Ben, here yesterday it was 76*, 50's last night. Rained this morning and This morning 51* was the high for the day and the low tonight in the 30's. Calling for snow this weekend. OK, I'll fish in the snow...

Ivey Loc: South Central Tennessee, Tim's Ford Lake

Fred, our lowest water temp was 44* that I saw. the water temp. this morning was 50*. we've had one dy up to 80* last week and expecting snow this weekend. whth the cold snap it'll probably have water temps in the high 40's next week. Here spring has sprung as far as the fish go, they're thinking about spawning and feeding up.
