Ah the kill switch! I keep telling myself I'm going to use it, and dont unless it gets rough, or at night. Maybe another feature would be a cuit off when the seat becomes vacant, like on some lawn...
I used to fish the Illinois river for white bass and sauger, it was great, so good that pro walleye put it on the spring circut, that has changed. A friend I talked to this spring said it is almost...
Fishing in cold weather, in rain or snow, and you're wondering about comfort?Something just dosn't sound right here.My old fasioned pfd has four nice pockets, holds my cell phone in case I can get a...
I put mine on when I start the engine, and take it off when I walk to the truck,. Sure sometimes its a little uncomfortable, but so is drowning come to think of it!Hey if money is no concern, go with...
Not the river but dale maybe last year at the state dock, a guy left his aerator running while they went to have lunch.I noticed a minnow bucket floating when I started the approach to the ramp, then...
Very few gys can say they havn't forgotten that drain plug. I've tried to launch with the rear tie downs still fastened, in a hurry because the ramp was crowded. Worst mistake I ever saw was a guy...
Maybe not cumberland river, but therer are some photos of real hawg walleye taken at center hill when it was first formed.We traveled from chicago in january to try to catch one of these monsters,...
Like wow man, can you buy that stuff?
No matter the weather, you still have major pest infestations on lakes.If you hate jet skis, then you should try ice fishing on some big lakes in michigan or wisconson, the snow mobile crowd is just...
I know how you feel. Went for lazer surgery on my prostate, the lazer broke down, then the doc said since i was there I could opt for the rotor rooter, no thanks I said. Went to nashville, and three...
I hate summer! Heat humidity, crowded lakes, chiggers, Oct. thru december, thats my time to enjoy the lakes.
Below the dam is the place to fish, the water around burksville is very warm, and shallow, plus its dingy at best. No matter where you fish, boating will be difficult, if you have hip boots or...
What ever brand you buy, check the last 4 didgets on the back of the tire, its true about tires aging, and coming apart, they were showing tires 6 yrs old being sold as new. The thing with N2 works,...
Line is important, but it cant beat a quality sharp hook.
It all depends on the circumstance. Some things I consider wrong, may be ordinary things to some folks. If its a definite newbie, yeah some advice could be diplomaticaly given.
At least you seen some, once on cumberland in 15 yrs. Twice on dale, and they were tdnr
That tow to the state dock would have been about 3 miles, I towed some fishermen from trooper island to lillydale camp ground ramp, they offerd to pay me, said no, maybe I'll need help some day.
Not to change the subject, but a couple of years ago, about 1:00 pmI was coming back from fishing, when I seen this boat with people waving at me, I went there, and they asked if I could give them a...
My lady friend asked me why I use waders, and leave my boat at home, its water lice.Till after labor day, its not worth the hassle to fight the heat, and be rockin and rolli from 8am till dusk.Let...
Usta do it myself, but not for 12 inch trout, we fly fished for steelhead, and an occasional big brown.But now its a 7.5 ft ultra lite spinning rod, and8/1.5 braid, can cast a split shot[small] 30 ft...
Grumpy, you are going to live to be a wise old fishermen. That fly unzipped was passed to us by the US coast Guard. Always use a container. And never never evergo doodoo off the side of a boat, the...
If anyone is interested, IO have a pair of size 12 insulated waders boot foot, these are not light weight, used them steelhead fishing in the winter, if your interested, let me know I can leave them...
I use it in ranges from 8/1.5 to 30/8, on bait casting and spinning. For all spinning if you are into cranks, the 15/4 will cast a mile,and you feel thewobbleand wiggle of most cranks, just back off...
There are two nice camp sites on dale, both are on the tn side. One is lilly dale, and the other is obey river near byrdstown, you may need to call ahead for vacancy info.
You got to get closer to the dam. Last week before I fell on a slippery rock, had some fair action wading. Even had small blue gills following my small rapalas, a canoe would work, I may drive down...
if there are any left, they might be in the head waters of lake cumberland, they were probably wiped out by the alewives.
why not just buy a bunch of punisher jigs and finish them yourself? I was into jig tying, and do it were the best there were at that time. Butits a great way to pass time, and you may save a few...
Believe it or not, in europe the carp is sought after as a game fish, and is considered good table fare. I have eaten them smoked along the mississippi river in Minnesota, and they aren't that bad....
I like the 7 ft rods, when I'm cranken, sometimes a long fast sweep will pull the trigger on some fish. I like the 7 ft rods for distance, accuracy comes with using them.
I love the 10/2,been using it for years, maybe will give that barrel swivel a try, noticed some of the baits thati throw, really spin. Thats why I dont like mono because of the twist memory.
My mom had alziemers, we moved her here from Wisconson, she stayed with us for three years before she passed away When i saw how caring my second wife was to her, it told me that no matter what...
Not many of guys use braid, and not many of you use ultra light tackle, but those of you who do, what do you think.Steallth has two new lines, 6/1, and 8 /1.5. Forget the first one, I could barely...
Sometimes mums the word. Found a spot on a lake once and there was some abandoned construction equiptment there, and it was completly by accident, took a buddy, who took a buddy, who on and on,...
The river is at its lowest point that i have seen, and i have been fishing it for the past 12 years out of burkesville. I dont even think about putting my boat in at the dam, its very shallow. But if...
The ramp at burkesville is probably the best on the river for several reasons, it is in a populated area, and there has been no vechicle damage that I have heard of.The parking is sort of limited,...
Wisconson has a season for them usually in sept.We used to fish below the dam at sauk city,night crawlers and a big sinker to hold it near the bottom.I caught one legal one years ago, We turned it...
Thanks for the input, was thinking about buying a pair of those scissors, now I'll just continue using a knife, but there is a battery operated one that uses heat, wonder!
So what did it mean? As with a lot of important information, the info was clouded with un needed facts.When I see graphs, and charts and stats, an alarm goes off. While figures dont lie, a lot of...
If you shoot and kill them, you will be charged, and most likely sent to jail. If you only wound them, you will be arrested, jailed probably, and then sued by the crook. After the suit, the crook...
I use several sizes depending on where or what I'm fishing for. My favorite is 15/4 for all around use, and 10/2 for winter fishing FNF. Stealth is good for the price, watch for wind knots or loops...
Welcome to retirement! But there are down sides, no special regardsfor long week ends, no reason to get up early, or stay up late. Starting my 15 year on that drudgery of not having anything...
many years ago there was a guy who specialized in big walleye, with light lines. He tied a knot he called the figure 8, still use it 95% of the time, on braid, flouo and mono.The other knotr is a...
Today east of burkesville I saw a guy with a team of small horses cutting his lawn, it looked almost like a small bush hawg.
I have seen a guy fishing from a jet ski, its still fishing I guess. I guess maybe some one thouight the same thing about me about 10 yrs ago, fishing in the gulf from a 12 ft porte a bote, but when...
I'm sorry, but I cant imagine anyone using 10lb flouro to fish jigs anyway!I use braid, and who ever says rocks eat it up, well I cant say that has happened to me. I use 15/4 power pro, and a 15 lb...
sho nuff, the fishing today wasn't as good, didn't catch any trolling, but got a few dinks on the jigs, of course hitting the river at 0945 might have been part of the problem. But tommorow at the...
I have never seriously fished for cat fish, catch a few now and then by accident, and the ones I catch are pretty decent size. About that southern comfort, it wont hurt em.Once while steelhead...
Gee I felt so bad for this guy. He was complaining that they need to release fish over 5 lbs because they are two inches to small! Please make that dale slot good for cumberland also. Why dont anyone...
knock yer self out! I dont need to fish many week ends, one of the curses of being retired.
