@DitchPandaits so much better in glass, just like yuengling

I don’t think that’s very far from me, will keep an eye out just checked, Tipton NC only 62 miles from my current location

Theres my plate, what’s everyone else having ?

Take the back hook off when fishing a stump field

Maybe, but people don’t really follow laws. Just take a ride down the street and try to keep count of all the laws you see broken. My favorite is the one that almost no one knows, when you turn from one street to another you are supposed to turn into the inside lane. People almost always turn into the outside lane, then switch back to the inside after a few hundred feet. It’s mind boggling. I also live near a 4 way stop, that’s comedy gold. I bet 2% of drivers stop at it, and those people just park there for several minutes and wave everyone thru one thing about life jackets I’ve also noticed. You’ll see a boat full of people way out in the ocean and never see anyone wearing a life jacket. Just hauling in grouper and sharks miles from land, all of them in beach clothes no PFD. Then you’ve got the flats fishermen in their skiffs, absolutely never seen them with a life jacket

Holy flathead

@RipzLipz and @Glenn, I’ve heard Michael Jordan was handy with a round leather basketball too but that doesn’t mean I can dunk from the free throw line as a side note related to Christmas, Bo the beagle/basset got a bone for a gift but he couldn’t figure out where to bury it

I don’t know if I’ve ever caught anything with a jig in cold water. You mean one with a rubber skirt?

Well you’ve sure got one heck of a bass population from what I can see! 18 lbs is great bag anywhere. Hit me up if you wanna see some big drum in person 😂 🥁

I don’t use a lot of braid but it’s the least tangling line I’ve ever used on a bait caster , except around the rod tip occasionally. Somehow all my backlashes come out, which I can’t say for floro or mono . I think just the thin diameter seems slick enough to untangle, and I’ve never experienced the dig in I read about. One thing you might try is some 50 lb, I love the tactx on my catfish rigs . Maybe the heavier line is less prone to knot

The slower moving reservoirs are the ones that seem to stay warmer . Shallow swift gets zapped cold overnight

Breaking out the high dollar stuff . Bout 47 degrees and getting warmer all night, might as well try . Had one catfish pull the bait into a snag

Absolutely, but I don’t know specifics. My childhood fishing buddy lives there and slays fish in a kayak. I will admit he’s pretty fishy tho, he catches just about anything anywhere @N Florida Mike has probably stomped thru there a few times

Well that silly thing sure ain’t gonna get the giants in 2024

I feel ya brother

@Team9nine, that’s some cold water. We are still holding around 52-55 and probably rising @AlabamaSpothunter, if you really want your soul crushed you could go fishing in East TN all day and catch zero fish. We don’t wanna hear woe is me I caught 5 for 18 lbs haha. I’ve literally never even come close to that in my life I’ve been seeing a few 4 pt and 6 pt bucks as well, I’m guessing the big ones stay in the shadows.

Ain’t any 6 lb bass within two hours of my house 😂, sounds like a great pond

It’s above it. I have dozens of ineffective spinnerbaits, thinking about assembling them into a lovely arts and crafts project

I just have a rope up there

Never enough

I’m just fishing

Bengals laid an egg and tannehill is…… not good “one thing you can’t do here, take a sack.” tannehill says hold my beer I’ll take 2
