Got a skippy off the dock , then took the boat out and got nothing. Go figure

Oh it definitely holds fish, just my first time up there. That’s actually part of a reservoir so it will come up 5-6 feet starting in mid April. I took that little boat because I thought it was too shallow for my 18 foot flat bottom, got passed by a massive Lund and saw other boats with walk thru windshields hahah. Doh ! Some kind of mountain wind tunnel thing, go around different bends to hide from wind and no change

Nice! 19” fish are about 2.75-3 lbs in my water haha. They smoke cigarettes and drink mtn dew instead of eating shad It sure looks like it in the top picture, the bottom, one may be some white bass, but they usually bite. gizzard and threadfin alike will blanket the bottom sometimes and gizzard are big enough to look like stacks of crappie on electronics

I’d guess those are shad

Skunk, got tossed around like gilligan. Went by stumps at Mach 3 slinging a spinnerbait

Pastrami 4x

It was 22 this morning but 49 this afternoon. My worst inconvenience was my anchor rope was frozen in a puddle in the back of my truck, I’ll take it

Holy $&((;??’€€£|**+

Leveled up!!!!

My condolences, we’ve got a house full of older dogs

I heard this joke years ago and forgot how to tell it. Thank goodness for @Sam reviving it!

? ain’t nothin on but the radio ? ?

Yes they still flip a coin, I didn’t quite word that correctly. They tried to eliminate the coin flip being the deciding factor for winning and losing but they still flip it

I went stealth mode no sonar today and got a decent smallmouth

Mud warms up quickly

I’ve got some skipjack herring frozen ……. Fish beware

Thanks buddy, here’s a look at the area I scouted earlier this week. I think it’s better in the spring but I’m going to make sure, never been there. It was 22 degrees this morning so that swift water was cold but it’s warming quickly with 50 degree sunny afternoons Yes sir

Took my papaw’s old 1957 boat out today, still floats. No trolling motor, just anchored up with the right wind and dragged a tube. Got a smallie just under 18” and a beautiful sunset , not bad for 4-6 pm. Going upstream for some big LM in standing timber tomorrow evening, that’s why I brought the stump jumper boat

Sure enough is

Blades are ideal for pre spawn cold water

Crispy crunchy!

Sometimes no sonar can help

That’s the river I was on, only like 350 miles upstream though haha
