That’s what all the old timers say about the Night walleye bite here in the spring during alewife spawn. If you go out between 2 am and daylight, supposedly the alewives spawn on the surface (you find this by sound) and the walleyes tear through them. The technique is to parallel the bluff walls with a wobbling type jerkbait waking it on the surface. When you hear the first blowup, your instructions are to do nothing. Then when you hear the second blowup you reel in your fish.

Interesting . The Harpeth River is not exactly a fishing destination although some float it in canoes/kayaks and catch fish

Ozark trail $5

Nah, all you gotta do is hammer down on the throttle and it’ll run out the back! Just make sure to have a plan when you come off pad

Best of both worlds? Tennessee! Right inbetween, world record smallmouth and walleye but no ice on the water. Don’t tell anyone or post it on the internet though

Frogs/toads

I’m hearing they are moving it from next weekend to mid March. Not sure why other than flood but the weather isn’t guaranteed to be any better then. Could certainly be worse

I've never used either, I like round bend offset hooks

You have to be 80 to afford one of those lawn mowers!

I have never swam in 40 degree water and if I ever do, you can have all my rattle traps because I'll be dead

It seems like there is much healthier aquatic veg up North (probably because they don't poison it all the time). Healthier veg leads to better water quality. But, there's the whole ice and cold thing. No thanks. Additionally there are not many natural lakes down south outside of FLA

Another good day for smallies! The TN river is a muddy conveyor belt of giant logs so I went to another tributary reservoir that stays clear. There was some current though! Within the first little bit I got a 19” and 18” smallmouth, both chunky! The wind was supposed to be 3 mph but of course it’s unpredictable in the mountains. We toughed out some more smaller bass and perch before the trolling motor died and went to do more coats of drywall mud at the lake house downstream.

No that never works.......... anyone reading this please omit.........

Sounds like the same weather we had on the east side of the mountains

I’d go back to the hose clamp transducer hahah
