Watching the watts bar video now, lot of catfish and drum ! Haha welcome to my world

Triple crown of black bass and a nice sunset. I watched the smallie eat my fluke, he inhaled it!!!

Nice one!!!!

Spirituality, family, bass fishing, catching skunks, mowing the lawn, sleep, that’s pretty much every aspect of my day . Wires only required for BR haha i do burn a lot of gasoline tho

I’ve caught em down there

The fish seem to be 19 ft down regardless

@12poundbass, pretty cool but who says internet cell phone and credit card is “almost every aspect of our lives?” What a miserable existence that would be

Oh it happens, just not to me

Whether it matters is up for debate, them being able to see it is a fact

I can’t get enough bass fishing info, never I don’t buy stuff online so that helps with all the rules stuff haha

Bass can see and feel every single fishing line on the market. I’m sure you’ve had bluegill follow and attack the disturbance where your line hits the water. The thinner it is, the less disturbance. Ever see anyone chucking 65 braid on a Great Lakes SMB tournament? good thing is , fish get hungry a few times a day and ignore it. Other times they are hungry all day long, they won’t let themselves starve, they won’t go dormant unless it’s freezing cold and even then can be caught (with thin line)

Here it changes day to day or even hour to hour much more than by season. Fall typically brings me a ton of current so I use bigger lures and heavier line especially in the morning . They drop the highland reservoirs 30-40 feet and all that equals lots of water coming out of the dams so I have to get their attention. Buzzbait, swimbait, toads, rattle traps. Then by the afternoon it might be hot sunny and clear and the current from overnight generation has dropped out and you can throw little small natural baits for good success. The water coming from the bottom of a tall dam is a fairly constant temp until thanksgiving or so. on the opposite end of the spectrum, river fishing in the freestone rivers (without dams) pretty much sucks after Halloween. I’ve even walked up and downstream trying to scare them and they are all gone (hunkered down if there’s no big water escape). The cold nights can completely shut down those places in fall that are dynamite fishing in early spring at similar temps. I don’t even bother fishing a free stone river after mid October

The greenbrier?

I don’t have any kids so I’m usually early just chilling haha

The fish must not have received your PDF email copy of the map !

Just follow @Team9nine’s example and use your pockets. He slays em

^starvation

Awww Just eat around those parts

Samesies

Anytime, it’s a trip we try to do yearly, right up your alley we ate bass too but I keep those pics to myself so PETA doesn’t come after me haha

?

That would make it hard to crank, might explain why it had trouble . Same thing went out on mine and I had to floated 5-6 miles downstream dodging pleasure boats and laydowns with a paddle haha. @galyonjreplaced mine, how’s that for a cool friend???

The correct size would be ideal but if you have the wrong one, don’t go “hundreds of miles “ to get home, go directly to tire store

Looks good to me! Nice catch

Spent the weekend floating/camping 20 miles of the headwaters of the Cumberland river. Caught lots of smallies, couple walleye, got rained on, ate lots of fish and steak, listened to poor excuse for football on a battery radio, Jumped off some rocks, ran some rapids, tons of fun
