They turned into the titans in 1990 something maybe he meant Edmonton

I don’t think there were oilers in mid 2010s?

Sending more prayers. My brother had colon cancer the doctors missed for 18 months of misery. It’s wild they went from lactose intolerance to cancer in your case

So did Tennessee’s

I practice from daylight to dark as well, only difference is I don’t fish tournaments 😂

It never works when my buddy tries it 😂. But I’m sure it does in places/at times. He’s always hooked everything on the top hook

1). Plastic worm 2). weightless plastic worm 3). floating plastic worm ok if I must 1) worm 2) fluke 3) buzzbait

Yep, worm on jighead for the sinker. It was cold and a little windy Sunday morning and he broke it off, I started humming the jeopardy tune while he tied the next one on for half an hour

Another idea, my buddy uses a ned rig instead of a drop shot weight. I will say it takes him a while to rig up tho haha

I can rust a piece of plastic

Anytime buddy. If you’re into white bass there is a crazy yearly run between leadvale and rankin on the upper end of Douglas, lots of fun

@padlin, hahah!! My buddy went to boundary waters this summer and took the wheels. He said it was nothing but rocks and logs on the portage trails and he had to carry the wheels the whole way 😂

Straight from the horse’s mouth

Natural lakes? Negative. There’s only one in the entire state and it was formed by a massive earthquake in the early 1800s . It’s called reelfoot lake and it’s near the Mississippi River, the earthquake sloshed a bunch of water out of the river into a low lying area. Loaded with crappie and bass but the lake is slowly drying up over time

Tried it , line always broke rubbing on rocks.

It’s dependent upon precipitation but they leave it full from June- August/sept. It’s when the line is at its highest on those pics I posted

Well, it did suffer the worst flood since 1791 in late sept Early October. They installed a mile long boom to remove all the junk floating down (siding, insulation, lumber, etc). There are barges still removing massive amounts of debris to this day, so the cards are stacked against you right now. It is very easy to find when they start raising the lake. Tva.com and the Tva app will tell you, among other places. Pre internet we used to just call the number and a recording would tell you all lake info. The “operating guide” function for each lake will show you a line graph of current lake levels. It usually starts going up in March and is fullish in June then starts dropping in August/sept. You can see the spike in last years graph from the flood here. These are the same graph, top one is with my phone sideways and bottom one is with phone vertical. As for the fishing off the bank, never done much of that, it will ruin your shoes. People slay crappie off the bank in Nina creek and at swanns marina in late winter/early spring. I don’t know where you could even access it, I live about an hour away. I would personally fish off the rocks right below the dam, that’s just what I like. Not sure if it’s reopened after the flood, a lot of things washed away. Lots of walleye, bass, crappie, white bass, etc. there

I saw a tourney interview somewhere along the way, tons of anglers had worked an area throwing bladed jigs and not caught much at all. I believe it was Brian Schmitt that came in behind everyone and waxed the fish. The difference? He was throwing straight braid and of course the masses were throwing fluoro. Somebody walked up to his boat after the tourney and noticed all his bladed jigs had the paint worn off the head. They asked him why, he said using braid they bang harder and that’s why he got all the bites just something I heard long ago that stuck in my head

Tired of paddling ?? I ♥️ paddling

I use the shad

@volzfan59, bout time you came back home! I didn’t know you were that close to LA, had a few in-laws in those stomping grounds

^one of the reasons many records are never submitted. The guy that caught the world record SMB said he wishes he had never caught it, seems like he said something to the effect of it was the worst thing that ever happened to him.

^one of the fee grabbingest states there is for outdoor activities

If you’ve ever had to replace a power head, you’ll never forget 💴
