TnRiver46

Well I turned on the today show and they are in my neck of the woods haha. You guys want me to drive by and honk the horn??? First school to open up in the US

When the weather gets really bad, you will be hauling in the 5-6 lbers

I know a lot of resourceful old timers that build beautiful buildings and furniture, I believe they could have figured out how to protect their hands before sun gloves hit the market. I think it’s more that they didn’t know the dangers of skin cancer back then, not that Cabela’s didn’t sell sun gloves

Well me and you will just have to look at the pic of that 10.2 lb bass again and live vicariously haha

I think a fella named @king fisher could put you on a fish at that last destination you listed

I would rather eat my work shoes than go on an international vacation. And I work outdoors and step in a lot of things......

Congrats!!! Don’t see double digit bass come across here too often

^this man knows a thing or two about pike and jerkbaits

Hahaha! I was just thinking I bet the loons I see in TN fly to New Hampshire at least once a year ! We have them in summer and winter , kind of crazy. I wish someone could ask the birds if they need any help from humans

I’ve been seeing tons of loons on the TN river lately, and it’s one of the most polluted rivers in the world according to those conservationists. Methinks where there are plentiful baitfish populations, the loons will be fine. I have a wildlife degree and have worked in the field for 13 years after college, there are unfortunately loads of misinformation at ALL levels of natural resources.

I thought the exact same thing. Had you changed to a spinnerbait they probably wouldn’t hit it haha

I think you’ve been reading too many articles! I’ve never once had a problem with line twist on a Texas rig, and a Texas rig is about all I fish with. And I fish a lot

It just simply costs too much so I guess I’ll never try it

I've never used tungsten

If you are asking about trolling, it’s a no doubter when you get a bite, regardless of the rod being in your hand or in a rod holder. A 10 inch bass will double it over even at 1.7 mph

Someone is actually paying attention!

Shew! Too hot for java down this way

Good to hear from ya again!!

The vertical lines near the bottom are more than likely grass stems if I had to guess. A thermocline should show as more of a horizontal line, I find them by swimming! Haha

$35 for 100 yards of line? Somebody done lost they mind

Well it depends on which boat I’m covering. Just make sure it’s a little longer than the boat and you are good to go. To keep it tight, tie it off to opposite sides of the trailer and wrap it tight like a present. If you have any trees nearby use them as lash points or maybe drive stakes in the ground and tie off to them. Truckers hitch is your best friend! this boat in the picture tarped to keep leaves and UV out, it’s tilted enough for water to run out of the drain plug. Not a boat I use frequently, the tarp is ripped and a few years old but it still keeps most stuff out. I keep my bigger boat in the carport dry as a bone ......... fiancé doesn’t like that but it’s one thing I insist on hahaba

This was made just after ww2, it’s the toughest thing of all time. It has cherry max structure rivets

I buy one cheap tarp per year. Life hack: use tennis balls or golf balls inside the tarp to tie off instead of running the rope through the metal gromets (because they rip out if you tie it tight on the cheap tarps). I find no need to buy a high dollar tarp, they make new ones all the time. Even a busy man like me can make a trip to the store once a year also I had a buddy with a boat that was ruined BECAUSE it was covered....... a stray cat got in there and ripped all the upholstery, once he took the cover off it never came back. I have also seen covered boats on dock lifts annihilated by raccoons. The moral of those stories is check on it every once in a while
