Ran Old Hickory for a while yesterday. Water is clearing a little now. Ran Spence creek, ran both forks of Station camp and Cages bend. If anyone is thinking of getting a Fury Prop for their boat, do it is all i have to say. Those things are as good as advertised. Not only does it give my boat more lift it's a couple MPH faster too. Better yet they have a exhaust plug system you can play with for better hole shots.
As far as the fishing goes, it's slow. I did find one pocket in the back of Spence that had 57 degree water, that was as warm as i found it. Now that's surface temp so at 5 foot deep it will be about 5 degrees cooler.
For the day one monster of a drum hit my rattle trap i'd say 15, 20 pounds easy. I caught a couple of pale looking Male bass in the back of Spence. They looked like they had just made the move from deeper water. That was pretty much it other than running and checking water temp in some of my better spots. Won't be long now guys. I'd say if the weather holds steady the next few weeks are going to be good. Seeing plenty of turtles and shad, signs of life finally and a sign that the water temps are getting right.
