    Went out for a few hours, weather wasn't great, mainly looking for active fish. Caught first fish off a Beaver house with a Castaic Atlas Spinnerbait, but with the weather the way it was decided to slow down some. Caught 2 more off two different Beaver houses in different coves on the new Riot Baits Cyclone in green pumpkin using a 3/8 woo Tungsten no chip flipping weight. Both fish crushed the bait when they hit. Biggest fish of the day was 1.78lbs in 3 and half hours. I caught 3 in total. Not bad with rainy weather in the afternoon.

    Went out the day before all the cold hit TN, started fishing on Tellico Lake in the afternoon, fished a bluff bank the entire afternoon, caught three in 3 and half hours. First came on a jenko Purses Jerbait, was a just under 2lb smallmouth, then made another pass on the same bank with a Jenko Jpod double flash umbrella rig, with jerky j swim 3.5in albino shad baits and one kiatech 4in albino shad bait kn the middle. Caught a 5lb and about 20min later a 4.25lb largemouth on the same pass. When the clouds came in and the sun went away, that was it. Was a great day in my opinion even though it was cold.
