I pulled up to the ramp this evening and waited my turn. 3 boats leaving and only me launching. Nobody said they'd caught anything. For some reason I thought I could do better. Fished below Watts Bar dam...hoping for a walleye or sauger. I didn't have a bite. Fished 1/8 oz jighead with fluke jrs bounced off the bottom.

All I seen was a beaver and not the fun kind.

Got my butt completely kicked last Sunday. Fished for 8 hours and caught 1 19in speck and 1 short. Threw everything from topwater, to suspending jerkbaits, to jigs. Just couldn't find the fish. Super frustrating because water temps had gone up to 60d, HARD falling tide, salinity was perfect, and water clarity was way above average. In other words, conditions were perfect.... and I still basically struck out. Was so bad Sunday I decided to deer hunt locally yesterday instead of fishing.
 
Yeah I wanted to go at least once before going back to work. I would have went some place different but I didn't have long to fish and below the dam is decently protected from the wind. Up on the lake, it was probably white capping pretty good.
