I'm Just going to say it. . . . "I Love You Spot-Lock"
My latest hand control TM is fairly easy to point into the wind or current and set on low speed, almost a spot lock 😂 I love it because you don’t have to keep your foot on the pedal (or hand on the TM grip)

How much has electronics changed your fishing?
I still just go fishing like I always have. I have found some good spots with electronics , one of them downright magical for a couple winters, but it hasn’t “changed the way I fish” You can waste a whole lot of time trying to catch marked fish when you could have been just fishing along like always. I took the depth finder off the front of my boat, still keep one at console. My canoe and kayaks are bare bones

Not much for black bass. Helps a lot with staging white bass in winter

Daytime bright sky fishing
Shallow water smallies love the hot sun, they will smash a buzzbait at noon with air temps above 90

My neighbors are also getting a new roof. Meanwhile my dogs are inside chilling in the AC, hopefully behaving . They usually roam the backyard and sleep on the porch in front of a fan. Little too hot today , once again the dogs have it better than us humans 😂

My transom mount trolling motor is offended by your vernacular

Missing pre-spawn and looking forward to fall.

Got all small ones over the weekend. Fished up from downtown Knoxville Friday after work and the highland lakes upstream must have made it to full because they finally started moving water pretty fast and it was a chilly 63 degrees, making a thick fog in the hot air. Got 5 LM and a SM and a pic of how fast the water was and a sunset Sunday we went down to the lakehouse and I tried gar fishing in my canoe, the jet skis were just a little too constant for me. Not making big waves, I just gave up a tad too soon. I did see some gar but I didn’t like my chances for whatever reason. Started bass fishing and got lots of hits, had probably 6-8 fish jump and toss the hook. I think they were all about 1-1.5 lbs but still would have like to catch them. They were grabbing the bait as I was reeling it back up to the canoe so I wasn’t getting the best hooksets. Did mange 3-4 bass and caught some green sunfish off the dock with a 3 wt fly rod, aquarium grade fish. I also got to watch the big bluegill and their spawning rituals, chasing each other off their round nests. They’ve been doing this for about 2 weeks right next to our dock

Keep an extra capacitor on hand, they are like $6 and repair man usually charges $300-$2000 to change them out 😂 just make sure you discharge them by touching both terminals with something plastic handled, they can bite a little

South Holston is typically clear from what I understand , maybe the stain was working against you. How was the boat traffic ?

Plano 3600: perfect for a few different color spoons, I think I could fit more (the red/white) but I’m just getting started

Heat Dome.
I’ve never understood why someone in an air conditioned weather studio could tell me how hot it feels outside while I’m pushing a lawn mower 😂 just tell me what the mercury says, I know what it “feels like” I fished some 63 degree water last night, felt good

My “go to”
So which rod do you grab first? love that speed worm @Mike L, I need to get more of those. Is that the zoom or the Cut-R?
-
My “go to”
I always grab this one first. Perfect for dragging worms on bottom in smallmouth waters. what’s the first setup you reach for ?
