had a great trip although it was shortened by a couple days b/c i became very sick friday morning and had to come home. we arrived on sunday the 30th. conditions were horrible. we put in at kuttawa b/c it is close to one of my favorite holes. we could not even plain off it was so bad out. we had a decent day though. we had 18 with 6 keepers with 2 almost 4 lbs. we had 9 on spinners and 9 on a tube. i could barely tell when i would get a bite the wind was so bad. we had 18 more on monday with 7 keeps. this is when we found the buzzbait bite!!! the next day we caught 36 with 7 keepers and EVERY fish came on a 1/4 ounce buzzbait. we had a 4.12, 4.7, 3.8 all on a buzzbait that day. i swear we probably only fished about 7 hours total that day b/c we had a loooong nap!! i limited out on a buzzbait! that was the most fun i ever had fishing. they were nailing the buzzbait. i went through a few of them b/c the were tearing them apart when they busted them. on wednsday, we caught 25 with 6 keepers. biggest fish was 4.1. all fish came off the buzzbait again. thursday, our buzz bite slowed and we only had about 12 fish and three keepers. these were caught on tubes and spinners, and flukes. friday we had to leave b/c of my illness.... almost everyone was out carolina rigging and deep cranking points so we were getting most of the bays to ourselves. i was so shocked at why the locals were doing that while we were catching nice bags with the buzz. we saw NO ONE throwing the buzz except us. this was one of the most fun trips i have ever taken b/c my favorite bait is the buzz and they ripped it out of our hands it seemed like every cast!!!!
