Had a fun morning on the water on the lower end of Old Hick today. Omar and I hit the water right at 5 am and headed over to a pair of islands to try the topwater deal. We only caught 3 small fish here, so we moved into Drakes Cr to try the marina slips. That was not working at all, so we moved into a cove with a lot of bank grass. I had a few half-hearted blow-ups on a frog, and Omar caught a few small ones on a lizard.
We moved out to a primary point at the creek mouth, and we nailed 3 solid keepers on a rig and football jig. Next we eased down to a flat near Lock 3 , and I nabbed the one pictured here on a Series 5 Crank in about 6 ft of water. That was the only one in the area, so we moved back up to the points in Drakes Cr.
We caught around 10 more fish here, with 5 or so being solid keepers. Most of them came on the C-Rig in 7-10 ft of water.
On the day, we landed around 20 fish with 9 or so keepers. Our best five would have gone around 13-14 lbs.
On to Lake Barkley next weekend for the TBT tourney.
