Wednesday I fished with "crappie man" Jerry Haglage. We had an okay day with around 20 crappie, but once again the size was not what we were looking for. We were able to run into a few NICE smallmouth bass though. Thanks for another great time Jerry....see you in a few weeks!

Today I fished with Tim Sheetz from Murfreesboro. Fishing for bass we had a good trip with around 12 fish. The bite was tough for most of the day, but we finally found a bank that held some quality fish. All fish were caught on crankbaits and shaky heads. Thanks for another great trip Tim!

Today I bass fished with Mo (my dog) for 6 hours. After hearing how last weekend was so tough and very few anglers did well in the tournaments, I set out for what I thought was going to be a challenging day. The first hour was a little slow, with three small fish. Then I changed my pattern and was fortunate to find some better fish. For the day, I caught around 12 bass with four nice ones. My best five would have weighed around 12.5lbs!

Saturday I fished with Mark and Randy from the Nashville area. Fishing for crappie, we had a pretty good day with around 25 fish caught, including 8 keepers. Most of the fish were small, but we got plenty of bites to have a great time. All fish were caught in 10ft-20ft of water on jigs and live minnows. Thanks for a great time guys, see you in the summer!

Friday I went out to practice for the kick-off tournament of the year sponsored by Murfreesboro Outdoors. Fishing with jigs and cankbaits, I caught around 15 bass including two around 5lb and one around 7lb which came off at the boat! The rest of the fish I caught were in the 1lb-2lb range. Spring is almost here and the fish are starting to bite! BCGS Jacob Jewel

Yesterday I fished with Gene Graham and his good friend Juhnny Zhang from Smyrna, TN. Fishing for bass we had another fair day with around 10 bass. All of our fish were caught on crankbaits, jigs and worms. We thought that the fish would be a little more active than they were, but still had a great time catching the fish that we did. Thanks for a great time guys, see you next weekend!
