I motored away from the launch as the sun was breathing life into the day.
A quick cold ride to the dock. Third cast in I had the first fish in the boat. The Bobby Garland Live RoamR took it's share of the fish caught today. After

Got on the water just before daylight. We had rain over night, the sky was still clouded in and the wind was gusty and swirling. All in all not the greatest conditions to shoot docks in. Also for winter draw down the lake level has fallen

Took The SIL to catch some fish this morning. We pulled into the launch a a little after 6 this morn. The sun just starting to lighten the sky. Had all 6 planer boards out by 6:25 and the first fish coming onboard before we could sit down.

I shot docks amongst all of the trollers, spider riggers and planer board fisherman. I caught fish pretty steady shorts mixed in with the slabs. I managed my first TARP crappie and my personal best Tennessee fish. I fished 3 hours after

I have been needing to take the Bristol steel telescopic rod out for a short fishing strip. It is a 9' steel rod with 3 guides, an aluminum reel seat and a short cork handle. I paired it with a Mitchell 308 reel with 4 pound Viscous Hivis

I had an hour to go fish. I grabbed a pack of hooks, floats, and weights. Threw a container of wax worms. Walked about a 1/2 mile down the trail to a little creek flowing into the lake from the mountain. Even the small ones put up a good

Boated 22 from under the dark spider web infested areas under to pontoon boats. Most right at 10 inches. Hooked a 10 ish pound flathead under one of the toons. Got him to the boat twice before it made a run under another boat wrapped me around

I received the Arkie 350 crank quickly (for field test) and was eager to get it in the water. The hooks were sharp and I like the red color ( some of the cranks used are in a photo below. The 350 is the uppermost crank).
