We catfished last weekend and caught 3 channels less than 24". You have to start the year out somehow, and now we have plenty of room for improvement!
Yep, I've been fishing some and....ditto!
What you describe is what I've been seeing too, except the biggest school I've seen was about 4 fish. My last couple trips I have been skunked, with one...
Maybe this would get more attention in the TN forum...
Anyway, I assume you are trout fishing, which I know nothing about. But, if you leave Gatlinburg and head South on 441, then turn on...
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!
Almost time to stuff myself, be miserable for the rest of the afternoon, get the boat hooked up, go to bed early and be on the lake well before daylight in the...
I saw that post too. My initial reaction was that they were fishing shallow for smallies, and caught the big stripe...which means the striper are possible coming up shallow now!? Woohoo! I sure...
Well, I am a beginner, but I've also bought 5 nets since spring and the one main thing I've learned is that you get what you pay for. I wouldn't suggest going straight for a high end net, but don't...
Well now you're going to make me look like a goofball, because I WILL be going to the flats and sit and stare/listen at shad flipping the surface! If I go crazy, y'all tell 'em the striper did it!
Yep, there are threadfin everywhere, but I seemed to only cast on the small stuff. 1/2" mesh gets nothing and 1/4" will get you a bucket full of 2" shad! Saturday morning was rough. 2 alewives and...
I just came off the water a couple hours ago. Water was 69 degrees out in the middle of the main lake. As far as the striper go, I'm just trying to figure them out this year and have been out of...
Since I'm really just getting into fishing seriously, and only having my Helix since spring, I don't know what "normal" is. Is the amount of bait in Cumberland normal? Right now the heads of the...
Nice! Care to share what they were caught on? Jigs, minnows, other?
I've been crappie fishing the past couple of days and the temp has been 75-76 in the mornings in <15' depth. What little I have been on the main lake I didn't pay attention to the temp, but I would...
I have a Tracker 16' Deep V, and while it seems to be a decent little boat, there's nothing I truly like about it. I guess the only 3 positives about the boat is 1- It was cheap, and 2- It rides...
Here I go again, Friday night of the last weekend of June. I'm even better equipped now with the addition of the bait tank, and a brand new 10', 3/4" mesh, 1.7 lb net, and 45' of wire on my...
I know it's a bit small for my intended use, but after measuring 14 times to make sure, it fits perfectly where I want it in the boat. I'm the 3rd owner, yet the first to put water in it, so I also...
So this past Friday night my son and I head out to give it another go. We bought shiners again so we didn't have to wait until dark to get started. It was another perfect evening as we began...
I decided to burn a couple days off from work and do some solo fishing, just me, the boat, the hammock, and a tarp. Sounds great right? Well, it depends on the definition of great.
I left out...
Sent you a PM
Nice! I'm picking up some nice crappie out of Cumberland under lights....just hard to see the bite when I'm using striper rods! After seeing what size fish are there, I'm seriously thinking about...
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...
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 clicker on a reel. How can that sound make me jump up with the excitement of a child on Christmas morning? Now that I'm thinking about it, I really should make that my morning alarm sound on my...
So now I have a boat that I have rigged with rod holders, and lucky me, Dad still has 4 Penn rods and reels from all those years ago. New line, a hand full of bucktail jigs, a couple planer boards...
The History:
Many years ago I would tag along with my Dad and his work buddies striper fishing on Cumberland. There were many late nights, often falling asleep in the bow listening to waves lap...
Thanks for the info guys and I wasn't feeling too much hate, I just wanted to make it clear it was only a passing thought, not to be taken seriously. Things just don't come across as clearly typing...
Guys, don't go to hating too hard here. Yes, I know it's bad etiquette to shadow a guide, or any other boat actually. In my post I said "the thought crossed my mind" and that I "would NOT fall in...
I fished under lights in Wolf Saturday night, anchored on a point, from about 10pm to 5am. Caught 3 striper (19", 19", and 20") a Ky bass, and a decent cat between midnight and 3:30. Had tons of...
