TnRiver46

Well it’s on the French broad river so they don’t hurt anything. I’m extensively trained in removing them haha, they’ve been there since the late 90s. And before white people, they were there for a few thousand years I reckon

I’m suffering from severe deja vu reading this the best fishing spot near my house is loaded with otters, usually 8 of them

I’ve had many excellent days after catching one on the first cast. I’ve also had days where I didn’t catch fish on any cast, so I gladly welcome first cast fish

Nice one! Congrats! (Love the ole black trick worm)

Washed in trees??? Sounds like the entire TN river..... interesting........ thanks for that

Nice one

Without all my friends I think I would have drowned or burned by now

Special thanks to @galyonj! He came over and worked on my boat wires for several hours and finally diagnosed the issue: my depth finder wire shorts out somewhere along the way. He redid all my connections and everything worked correctly until we hooked up the depth finder, in which case it shorts/grounds out and the ground strap gets hot. So now all I hopefully need to do is replace the wires to the unit and be good to go !

Ha! Yep. Kill or be killed. If they are out of the current, they are on dry land

Hahahahah! I think the picnic boat has a green registration sticker !

From here on it’s easier to use an image posting site

Yes I have insurance, I’ve had a boat stolen and a busted a lower unit, I was covered both times

They do in TN as well. Anything with a motor needs a sticker, electric or gas

Tubes and grubs

Nice!

You’re going to love them

At that point you’re going to need to find a trailer quickly or somewhere to tie your boat up for a day or three

If I never purchased another plastic worm, I would still have too many . I need to use some hand poured floating producto worms 8” that I got years ago

Why have I never seen this 77 rozante hanging in the store?? I might have to try a few different stores edit: Woops. Just did a quick search and I can get them at a few places

Couldn’t hurt, give it a whirl! Just use a heavy sinker that maintains constant bottom contact and use a sweeping hook set to the side

Sinker > bead > barrel swivel (without the snap) > leader > hook . Also if you’ve never caught anything, Carolina rig might not be the best thing to start with. It’s a little odd trying to get used to it at first.

I think Kennedy got some big ones with it too

I like that idea. Can still be defeated but would make a racket and probably cause the thief to give up or choose another poor sap to screw over

I have two different coupler locks I use at home, I like both. One is master lock and one is Reese. They are both kind of like a ball hitch that goes up into the female part of the trailer coupler. I’ve thought about using them at sketchy ramps but you have to unhook from the truck to use them, and I don’t want to leave the trailer sitting there unhooked.
