They repaired a dam on my favorite mountain lake, it got way better after being down 25 feet for a couple years . Then again it was off limits to fishing while drained so that’s probably why it got so much better.

Don’t go into it with super high expectations and always tip your guide (biased opinion, I guide trips sometimes haha)

I fish a lot like you, good to have nightcrawlers.

That’s because trout are useless animals Other hobbies...... I always knew you were the 3rd base coach for the Sox!

Storm twitchstick and Excalibur ghost minnow . I would get a floater . Original floating rapala is also a legendary fish catcher

Word of mouth

That’s exactly what it is

Haha! Somehow East TN avoided all inclement weather, it was rough anywhere to the west catch a big one on the big O!

I’ve always been able to feel the bite very easily, although I don’t know if I’ve ever owned a heavy rod . Hooking them is a little harder for me but I’m getting better. Passing the tag end back through hook eye after the palomar helped me tremendously

Diamond vols started today @ Georgia southern

Hurts is one hell of a football player. I think he will do great things in Philly

It certainly does not get colder than 32 under water! Haha I heard there are some frozen coves in texas currently

Yes that one or the 200! They sounded like racecars

Tower of power is what I’ve heard them called. I’ve seen some boats SCREAM down the lake with those hanging off the back. Bullets and Allison’s

I don’t know, there’s still about 50+million left haha

Nice!

Those work better in southern swamps, I’ve caught a lot down in s Alabama with them, maybe 2-3 on the home waters

Hahahah. RIP Ben. I’m sure his brother will eat his body so the meat doesn’t go to waste

They keep ripping the tarps off my traps

I initially started doing it for catfish. I figured they were below eating all the dead shad as they sink to bottom. Low and behold I started pulling up smallmouth with frozen dead shad 35’ down

I’ve got some big smallmouth with dead shad I scooped off the surface. I’ve even been known to freeze a bag or two and use them when it warms up

Spring is when I do maintenance after all my winter fishing! But seriously the first few warm weekends in the spring are a nightmare for fishing around here, we call it amateur season. Everyone that takes their boat out twice a year is taking up the ramp for 35 minutes trying to figure out how to launch.

Gotta dig out this morning

Stripuhzzzz???

Edisto is our favorite camp spot down there
