Thief Neck Island Bass



Luke and I went out on Watts Bar today to try to catch some bass around Thief Neck Island.  We launched in the afternoon at the Shady Grove launch off River Road.  We made the run across the lake to the rock pile on the east side of the island near the cut through. Luke always loves throwing a spinnerbait and I had recently been catching a few nice fish around this rock pile on crankbaits and spinnerbaits, so he was chunking a chartreuse and white Terminator with gold willow leaf blades.  I was throwing a similar spinnerbait and a Lucky Craft shad colored 3.5 crankbait.  Luke caught a couple of scrappy largemouth and I caught a smallmouth.  Always a great time when I fish with Luke.
