We used to do pretty good on raw shrimp.

Troll some jointed shad raps in 15 ft of water . It's a great search method , may even get a muskie

Depends on what you're fishing for, and how you're fishing !!

I have not great success but fish the golf course especially on the left side go further down the lake and fish the cove with the discharge pipe at the e d if the cove I believe it is the first cove on left before the dam they have saucer in there...

I don't fish Barren, but most Crappie guys I know of are Pushing/Pulling cranks over flats or along channel edges, wherever a high number of Shad schools are located. If that's not possible, then Pushing or Longline trolling jigs is a good...

In those days you couldn't find a grass frog anywhere west of Uncle Lee's!

Geo is spot on with the grass and high water. Fishing down there regularly since the 80s the grass comes on during years of low flow - drought years - especially when we have dry springs. When the bass fishing went nuts in the mid-to-late 80s is...

Sign-ups are 4:45-5:45 Friday nights. $30 per boat for entry fee, $20 for one-time membership fee. I believe we start fishing Saturday mornings in September. Other details are on the sign-up sheet.

That should be a good stretch to fish for the months given. I hope you all hook into a few, I would love to see the footage.

Yep, you were mostly under them and they will not feed down. Those are actively feeding, so knowing your are under them, you can speed up and raise the lines. Stripers LOVE to hit rising lines. You can also turn away from those fish mostly on the...

If I remember correctly, my shallowest outside planer was at 15'. I later told my wife that I more than likely pulled just under the fish. Are striper like crappie, only feeding at or above them but never lower? Also, I was heading in the opposite...

We use tin snips...lol...really, straight down the back then we turn a knife and go along the skin...kinda like pulling a deer tenderloin. Very diffrent fillet job on these guys.

the high water killed the grass.......I don't believe tthey sprayed it? Do you have definitive information they did, as I have often wondered. later, Geo

It is an excellent , EXCELLENT class......I loved ever minute of it.

They did..............Most processors pay something like 17 cents..........the State put 10 on top of that or something like that from what I heard, so guys are getting something like 27 cents a lb right now. I talked to a couple guys who hit...

Yea, and the DNR will insist they don't spawn in the lake...........I call ********.

Yea, and there is a guy that has a cabin down the river, that does tow services for folks. your 4 some can stay at that place, and boom, have tow services, etc, etc, etc. I will look for the phone number, to see if I can find it.

All the crazies, except for me are Gone......... :) :) Magic, Ping me about some good areas for walleyes down there. I caught them pretty much every time I went. :) :)

We had a couple day window when the water was low and clean enough to get on them. It's been a monsoon since. Can't wait to get another shot once the river comes back down. The big fish of the 2 days was a strper just shy of 15 lbs. I had 40+...

This is exactly why youtube fishing channels have gotten so big. New anglers are looking for advice and tips they aren't getting elsewhere. Fishing can only benefit and grow from helping each other. Your not going to ruin fishing for yourself by...

. Here are some Tn. river bluegill, with fillets like you get off a 14” crappie.

Sure is. Those look like some decent fish there and a wad of bait as well. Those fish were there to feed. I have a question. What did you have your lines set to, how fast were you moving and what did you do when you saw this screen? This...

man that's a good looking screen shot on the graph, that's what you're looking for. keep chiseling away , you'll break through

I know Tuesday Nights are still going but not sure where the sign ups are. You might call B&J for that information. Friday nights are still going on. Sign ups are at the Country Mart in Taylorsville from 4:30pm till 5:30pm and fishing hours are...

I've caught quite a few of these over the years, mostly by accident but they are an overlooked species when nothing else is going on. The large ones have quite a bit of fight even for heavy equipment. My dad, my uncle, and I tried cleaning one once...

So, if you've read this far you have probably noticed the striper bug has bit. I'm starting to question the sanity of all this. The boat, the Helix, the rods and reels, the cast nets, the baits, the truck gas, and the boat gas....wouldn't it be a...

Jay your a smart man, may want to hire a guide that fishes the river and tell him what you are planing and he may be able to point you in the right direction.

Striper fishing on the section of the river you describe will be great in September.

I thought the asian carp spawned in the main channel when theres current? They have to have the current to keep their eggs suspended in the water column? Im almost positive thats how it works but could be wrong. Most bass fry should be a month old...
