Daryk Campbell Sr Posted June 13 Posted June 13 Wife and I took a week to celebrate our 20 year anniversary, rented a lake cabin on Johnson Lake. The area is beautiful and our cabin's rear deck was over the lake. The water was very clear. I read there would be bass and catfish in the lake. The second cast on the first day produced a bluegill. I was pretty excited. I didn't catch another fish for days. I fished early mid day, evening, nothin. I seen bass, but could not tempt any to take my offerings. I wonder if they were still in spawn. The bluegill seemed line shy, as i seen them as well. I finally went down to 2 lb clear mono and got some takes, but couldn't keep them pinned, until I tried the skating caddis from our most recent fly swap. Fishing was tough. I tried flies, rubber bugs, rubber worms, jerk baits, crank baits, power bait and Berkley minnows. Nothing. We had a great time together anyhow. The mountains were beautiful. I recommend the trip. Chattanooga Zoo is small, and a neat experience, but St Louis Zoo is much more enjoyable and free. The aquariums are well worth the money in Chattanooga. My first catch. I caught someone's net, which someone else broke off a white jig. I'm no Ronnie Moore.... one of the teasing bass. this Was at Rock City Garden. Very cool place to visit. Ruby falls, beautiful, but very commercialized, and not a great customer experience. Dinner at the Canyon Grill. It was good. our cabin is on the left. snagged in outlet 3, FishnDave, Quillback and 8 others 11 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction. (me) I am the master of my unspoken words, and the slave to those that should have remained unsaid. (unknown)

Johnsfolly Posted June 19 Posted June 19 Sounds like a great getaway Daryk! We have been thru Chattanooga several times and I always want to stop at Ruby Falls. Even being so commercialized, I still want to visit it. Kind of like Meramec Caverns or Fantastic Caverns. I do love the Tennessee aquarium!
