I took a quick trip out to Rock Chimney to check out the fishing this morning.  I only had about 2 hours to fish and I was mainly doing a reconnaisance to check out the water level and see if any fish were stirring.  There has been a lot of rain in the area recently and I was pleased to see that the water levels are back to near-normal levels!  I had a good chat with the landowner and he said the water level is up 4 ½ feet from 2 weeks ago.  The water level and water color were very good.

Now to the fishing.   I only had a short time so I made a quick loop around the lake and found the fish to be in a super-aggresive mood.  I was fishing exclusively chase baits and they were crushing chatterbaits and squarebill crankbaits and fighting like crazy!  I caught a bunch of fish mostly in the 2-4 pound range with a couple over 5.  very few smaller fish.

I had something happen on this trip that I have never had happen before.  I was reeling in a 1 ½ pound bass and as I was just lifting the bass out of the water a 6 pound bass enhaled the back half of the bass on my line!  I was stunned...The fish was close enough to touch but I just sat there in disbeleief.  After 1-2 seconds the fish let go and splashed back into the water.  See what I mean...  Super – aggressive.  After 2 hours I had to get back to other things.  Good to see Rock Chimney looking so good and being back on my rotation\\
