Definetly dropshot. much easier and faster to rig. works wonders

there are far more dangerous things to fear than mosquito viruses. More likely to get finned by a bass actually. better story too

i might take different items depending upon where im planning on fishing. But i always take plenty of neosporin, bandaids, electircal tape, and a fitted gardening glove. all three combined can make the difference between heading home because you cut your hand or continuing to fish without incident.

I've never fished out of a kayak but i did most of my fishing, as a kid, from a two person canoe. I couldn't even tell you what kind of canoe it was but it was perfect for the job. Enough room for gear, food, drinks, a buddy, and YOU. Dont know if i could sit on my butt and fish for hours.

hey there. I live in the Bellevue area. I've been in Nashville for about 5 years and haven't fished Percy Priest yet. I've wanted to and it sounds like you know what's going on out there and where the bass are. I mostly fish for bass because that's what i know and i love it. sounds like we might have the same skill set. If you're ever looking for a fishing buddy and you're heading out to Percy Priest give me a shout and you can show me the ropes

Not sure where in Nashville you are but the Harpeth River isn't far from the downtown area. There are a few locations along it where small businesses rent people canoes. If you had your own canoe or kayak you could put it in and go for it. Plenty of Bass and Carp to catch along the river. Also, it's a class 1 river meaning it is very light rapids. So it's not moving too quick.

Pinching the barbs on larger topwater lures with double treble hooks can be helpful as well. When popping or walking a lure plenty of bass may hit it initially just to turn it around or disorient it hooking them in the side or belly. No body likes a big hook in the belly, especially when you have to tear it out.
