I live on the other side of Tn and the geography is as different as night and day (so are the lakes). Unless you are talking about Kentucky Lake or Pickwick all our lakes are smaller state run lakes. Usually all electric motors only or no-wake lakes. The fishing is pretty much average to GREAT (any day out on the water is at least Good for me ;)even if I don't catch many so you'll have to take my opinion with a grain of salt ;D)...

I have an older ABU Garcia ('84) Ultra Mag 1, with magnetic brakes. I usually have it set on "0" and can cast a country mile ;)with it. My other 2 baitcasters are Citicas and so far 2 on 4 off is the best setting for me. Maybe 1 day ;D... As Ever, skillet

Went camping with the family for a weekend at small lake in Ark. once. The whole weekend bass were chasing shad to the top in one place or another. Would only last very short time. At the end of the weekend was taking boat back to ramp to load up for trip home. Suddenly it happened around me ! Had a Devil's Horse tied on one of the rods. Cast into the middle of all this and had a strike almost instantly. Reeling in and had another fish trying to take lure out of first fish's mouth! By the time I had unhooked the fish it was all over . Didn't see any stunned baitfish either. Didn't last long but it was sure an exciting short while ;D... As Ever, skillet

Probably the age of your Grandpa ! Still you use a 3 tray. It gets harder and harder to keep the tackle down to a minimum. It REALLY upsets Ol' Banana ... As Ever, skillet

Have had that happen, even pull drag. It was the main reason I changed from mono to copoly. Thought it was the stretch of the mono :-/. Happened to me once 3 times in a row (hate to admit this :-[). After the first time, thought "I'll show you", tried to cross his eyes!!! As Ever, skillet

The bream around here will pull parts off creature baits. Hit hard enough, you'd swear it was a bass . Have got so tired of the bream that have done a half-hearted hookset to find out it was a bass :-[. WELCOME to the forums, Lobster Monster!!! As Ever, skillet

Haven't broke down and tried swimbaits yet but if you're catching 3-6 lbs in a pond don't think you need my help ! WELCOME to the forums!!! As Ever, skillet BTW I'll send you a PM when I finally try those ;D

When I first started trying for bass it was the 3rd bait (even before plastics) that I learned to use. It was brown and orange 1/4oz jig with orange and brown Uncle Josh ... As Ever, skillet

Realized long ago that I'm really lousy at guessing weights (especially if I catch it ;D). Whatever it weighs, NICE fish... As Ever, skillet
