Percy Priest 9-7-10

Finally caught a few bass at Priest today. Put in at Stewart's Creek and went up river to the convergence of Spring, Fall and Stone's. Went up Stones river to a couple of wide spots off the river. Got a few half hearted swipes at my buzz baits but no fish. Moved into a shallow channel off the river. Saw a couple of blowups on bait and flipped my buzz bait in there. Went on to catch 4 or 5 bass on the buzzbait. Switched to a 1/4 oz red eye shad and caught several more and lost at least that many. That went on the rest of the day. I can't figure out how a bait with 2 treble hooks allows almost every other bass to escape. I found a couple of other flats with bait and bass with the red eye shad being the best option. I counted somewhere around 19 bass in the boat with at least 12-15 hooked and lost. Size?? Not much. I had maybe 7-8 that would go 12" with a couple maybe 14". The rest were nits but after my last 3-5 trips the action was welcome. Even the nits fought ferociously (smile). Even caught 3-4 white bass. 

Tournament Saturday.
