Sunday 1/6/08 Fishing

[whj812]

I went out this morning on Norris Lake, to try and track down some Smallies.

The water temperature was 45 degrees, and conditions were cloudy and rainy. The water in most of the lake is Clear, but in some spots it is stained.

The bite was very slow today until around 1230, and I landed the 1st and biggest Smallie of the day. I caught him on a Paddle Tail Stik-o from Bass pro, dead sticking the lure in about 20-25ft of water.

I went on this afternoon to catch 2 small Largemouths and a Spot

Nice smallie! I wish I had the courage to fish in those conditions and have the patience to deadstick and fish the jig n pig.

Nice catch!

Wife and I went earlier today to city park lake and walked the entire bank around the lake (almost a mile) and didn't get one bite. Air temp 66*, but real windy.

Great 1st fish of the year - i wish the water here was a little warmer so I could catch a smallie

45 degrees sounds tropical. Nice smalls.
