Good to see you around and well old.

DonDon,

This link Think like a Boy Scout for success at Pickwick » The Commercial Appeal goes to a recent article in The Commercial Appeal about fishing below the dam. Aside from my comments...

Bream should work fine. I know a couple of folks have been using them lately. A lot of people also simply net bait right on the wall of the dam, but I'll bet bream will be easier to keep lively in...

DonDon,

Looks like my wife and I will be there Saturday morning. Say hello if you see us. I'll probably be the only guy below the dam with a fly rod in hand. I honestly haven't tried either...

Kevin,
Lots of fun ways to catch 'em.

Red,
I certainly had family that left a little blood on the ground around Shiloh, but, as far as I know, I have no relatives that live in the area. That said, there aren't a whole lot of Cooksey's...

It's pretty dang easy Speck. I was fishing Puglisi style minnows on a 2/0 Gamakatsu hook last weekend since they were a perfect match for the shad everything was chasing. When they're deeper just...

They weren't pulling much water, but my son and I had a heck of a morning on white bass and small stripers and hybrids. Everything caught on a fly....

d4d hit it on the head old. The only problem is if your eyes are anything like mine are getting it might be easier to tell by feeling the line between your fingers.

And, wf is WAY mo' better than...

I simply used the coated hooks similar to poppup's setup, but I screwed a bunch of them through the ceiling plaster into the 2x6 joists. By spacing them four inches apart, skipping over one joist...

Jethro,

I imagine roaches could crawl in and out at will, but they might stay if there's food involved. I just don't know. I may be wrong, but I think most of the commercial traps also kill the...

Oldduckhunter mentioned using roaches as bream bait, and I know it was really a big deal in West TN 75+ years ago. Reading fishing stories written in the late 18 and early 1900's leave no doubt that...

I'd get lost trying to find Hurricane, and my crappie fishing attempts usually turn into white bass expeditions (or into a totally wasted day). I just figured someone from the area that knew...

Cotton,

You should just find someone close to be your partner. Lots of crappie fishermen in the area.

Do y'all notice you catch more if you are eating potted meat and crackers as opposed to a rag bologna and hoop cheese sandwich?

Dang. I just figured it was a programming flaw. That said, I usually do better lost than when I get where I planned on going.

That's cause it defaulted me to the TN board. I'll do better next time.

Who won?
