So this year is ready to go and we start the year off west of Nashville at Beech lake. It's a lake that requires it's own permit and has some big bass to offer based on our clubs history. In years past there have been some 6 and 7 pounders pulled from this lake. I was fishing with a guy named Stewart. He was a good guy and had an eagle G3 boat. At least I think that is what it is. Anyway, we headed straight for shallow water because there are some good flats with lillypads on this lake. We say a bunch of topwater action going on and we thought we were in the greatest spot. After hours of trying to get these active fish to bite, we had to give up and head for deep water. The theory there being "if they aren't in shallow, maybe they're in deep water." We headed towards the dam and actually did pull in some pretty fish, but they wouldn't measure up. I caught three fish on a spot remover with a silver/blue roboworm where the edge of the rip rap turned to sandy bottom. This didn't garner me any measurable fish, but we did have a great time and the weather was unbeatable. Some of our club members brought in some nice fish, but nothing like last year. I believe the good ones were caught using Texas rigged purple worms.
On to the next tournament.
Until then, here's to fish IN the boat!
