They sure do. I camp in S Alabama every year and catch them all week out of 90+ degree water. Just think about FLA, you won’t find much water without bass in it

Nice!!!! Glad you got your batteries recharged. All the Michigan bass I’ve caught so far were green as well. I saw brown ones in the river but they were French fry sized

Not that I needed another example, but……. https://www.instagram.com/reel/CvIysa_gy-K/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== hash tag foam 4 life

I’ve actually caught some fish with a spinnerbait . Not many

I’ve wacky rigged about 4 casts in my life, got stuck and broke off all 4 times

Don’t forget our weekly meeting

Purple worm is what I got my nice 3 lber with in Michigan yesterday @Skunkmaster-k @gimruis

1 hour morning session, pouring rain now so I car topped it for the time being

@MediumMouthBass, they are good, just need a dozen to amount to anything haha

Got that right @gimruis! I even got a groundhog job back home for next week over the phone this morning. Although it was pretty hot up here and my Native American level neck got even worse despite all my sunscreen haha. Strangely it’s not as humid even though there is water in every direction.

Pure Michigan! Top two pics are the same fish, bout 18” in a river full of hundreds of inner tubers, some of which were our family. Most were shocked there were fish in the river, I’ve never encountered a river without them…….. also got a 15” bass and a lot of rock bass for dinner, the 18” got a reprieve for the day

I’m similar to @Pat Brown, i try to avoid places that are totally stacked with shad . Which sometimes is everywhere

Just re read the happenings at @Sam’s , one thing a rat won’t do is move your chair 6 feet! ?

I never use elaztech

I always lose a few with treble hooks. Not often with single hooks advantageous side effect: the single ones come out of your hands easier

Apparently they used it as a hedge/fence back in the mother land. I can cut it down on Tuesday at my house and it’s back for the weekend haha

Fishing below the dams off the bank, they will swarm like flies when you start catching. Then they will ask you for your catch. I usually give them one or two fish then release the rest, trying to teach some conservation with actions not words now if somebody seems pretty hard up, I’ll give them a good many white bass

“Find the food” strategy doesn’t help on the TN river, the whole thing is made of shad. I mean, the fish are in the water so I guess that’s a start but doesn’t exactly narrow it down

I only use heavier than 1/4 oz for Carolina rig I think. Then again I’ve got a medicine bottle full of bullet sinkers and I really don’t know what exact weight they all are so I’m guessing. I have used some heavier looking ones for T rigs in the fall when our current is absolutely raging with beavers and speed worms. When they are dropping the flood storage lakes for winter, all that volume comes by fast and 1/4 oz gets swept away

Sounds delicious

Ding dong the witch is dead

Every roof and car in Knoxville got replaced in 2011 due to hail damage, crazy storm they predicted for 4 consecutive days hit on day 5. widespread tornadoes and hail from Louisiana to DC that night, part of Tuscaloosa was flattened. April 27 if memory serves, wild night. I actually just pocketed my insurance money and drove my golf ball looking truck around for years, had to get a salvage title. Every other truck on the road was roofer or insurance for a couple years

Great work @Jar11591 Is that privet on the fence??

Eastern woodrat aka pack rat will steal all your jewelry light bulbs and other assorted trinkets and put them all where you will never find them. also had a guy rent our lake house for 20 years and it still smells like pipe tobacco . He died in 2018 this has been your latest installment of myth busters with TnRiver46
