I met Jerry Steakley in Manchester at 5:45am and we put the boat in
the water at Fire Lake on Normandy about 6:30am. The sole purpose for
the trip was to catch some of the big spots that Normandy is known
for. Water temperatures was in the high 40's and the wind was already
10-15mph but the was clam to the 25-30mph that we had later in the
day. No matter where you went you just couldn't get away from the the
wind. We even had water come up over the front of the boat a couple
times and it would work you to death just to keep the boat where you
could make a decent cast. We did manger 10 total for the day and lost
3 others. We had 4 Spots 5 Largemouth and one big black nose Crappie.
Normandy is another good choice here in middle Tennessee. Hope this
helps
