Failed miserably!

Fished north of the powerlines today, right out near Buchanan Resort, so basically right near the mouth of the river. 14-18 feet was my depth, but I never got a hit.

I'm...

I'm taking a buddy with me tomorrow, and I don't want to be embarrassed not finding any fish! Where can I get some good crappie tomorrow? (5/19)?

How you gonna fill that whole yard up with water now? ;)

We tried just that, but we used jigs.

Yes, we had to get out of the boat and push it away from the dock!

Anyone fish the little paylake in Milan....Gibson, for crappie? We went today....a bass tournament was going on, so it was packed, but we never could find the crappie.

We gave up and threw for...

That's where I've been letting in. Stay between the buoys!

Just for interest's sake, as you come out of the marina out into the main river, head perpindicular into the creek channel, and then...

There are alot of people drifting in that area. There's a rather large drop off that goes all the way across the river in the vicinity of the powerlines, and in addition to that, the creek channel...

Yeah, I'm a rookie. I am just learning to catch fish on my own anyway without having to fight The Perfect Storm in doing so, lol.

I know of no locations that would have gotten me out of the wind....

Wow, great job!

So which of you idiots were out there this morning? I went, but I was smart enough to head home. Wind was 15 mph straight out of the east down the river. I couldn't even begin to...

Everly should have been closeby to Medford. I feel weird talking about this, but I just wonder if Everly may have actually made it to shore? Hypothermia would have been tough to avoid, but I'm just...

I'm also a new Big Sandy Fisherman. What is it you call the Britton Ford area?

Does anyone ever fish the actual structure underneath the powerlines? I also wonder if anyone ever fishes the concrete structure right underneath the 79 bridge as it goes across. I saw some boats...

I was north of the powerlines on Saturday, and I came home with one stinking fish. It was a good one (around a slab), but I was delayed getting out onto the water because Buchanan's dock along with...

I have been fishing the Big Sandy lately....most of the feedback I get is they will be caught more toward December (really cold water)...I've heard everything from deep to mid-depth, but I've never...

If snakes can get onto a plane, they can get in your boat. :)

Man, I really appreciate that info. I'm going in totally blind in that area, but I really appreciate the tip. I'm gonna start around the powerlines and see what happens, but Swamp Creek could end up...

My topos don't get down into Swamp Creek, but I'll have to just troll around and check it out. It looks like the most attractive area for me is just on the north side of the powerlines....anyone...

Alright, anyone been out on Big Sandy this week....any changes?

I'm going Saturday come hell or high water (I'd love some high water about right now!)

LOL, thanks, Dad....

I've never had home lake advantage....that's very true!

I would consider myself less stupid had I tried tapping my tilt motor with a hammer Saturday night instead of Sunday around 2:00 pm. It broke loose and worked like a charm after that....

So with a...

Wow, thanks for the advice. You got it right....I'm jigging. TERRIBLE news for starters, though.

I charged up my batteries and started to work on getting my tank gassed, etc....well, it turns out...

Wife's honey-do list postponed my trip until Sunday morning, but I'll be sure to look for you.

I'll be in a 19' Astro with a 150 BlackMax.....Blue on Black....just like Kenny Wayne Shepherd sings....

I bought my boat a month ago, and I'm heading out to the Big Sandy River tomorrow morning for my first ever Tennessee fishing experience.

Would love whatever pointers anyone can provide a fella...
