Old Hickory Lake fishing report 8/11/2014
 

Nice fish Woody. Looks like the spinner bait works quite well.

Regards

Woody you make all your spinners?

Yes and I have bin making since I was 12 years old and I'm 67 now...............woody

Good job Woody, now lets see that spinner.

Not yet still testing.................woody

Do you plan to test them another 55 years?

I was thinking about it, why 55 years to long? I went out yesterday and caught another bass but small then I lost it in a brush pile. So I put another one on and a 16" catfish hammer it and now I'm getting ready to go back out today and see if the white bass will hammer it..............woody

Woody, I am also 67. It is encouraging to hear you say we may have another 55 years to fish.:)

Good luck today.

Good luck this morning

Well it was just a little windy but we went back out MR.ED caught a sunny and it must of bin my day to clean the bottom of the lake because I found fishing line and a rod & reel that was cove with growth. The fun part was when I ask the wife if I could hang my trophy on the wall joking.................woody

That is one thing that still eludes me is a rod and reel. Ive never snagged one. Lots of other things, but never that. I hooked a dandy chunk of white laminated particle board in carthage last weekend. Seen "a fish" on the graph....dropped my blade bait down...felt a thump....hammered it which i guess dislodged it from the bottom and it started swirling in the current and my eyes got super big with visions of walleye on my line....lmao...NOPE! just a piece of somebodies old kitchen cabinet! Lol.
I fought it like a champ though!

Thats funny! I hooked a big Muscle last year on Gville throwing a 6XD, thought I had a monster on. I have a friend who's dad found a dead body stuck if drift wood on old hickory, he did not really catch him but still it would suck crappie fishing and find that stuck to a bridge. I am 30 and hope to have close to 55 years left to do anything on this earth. TN if you really want to catch a rod and reel I know where one is located on old hickory, my buddy fell in and tossed the rod as he went, only in about 8' of water.

Juice,
Lol....i will swap spots with ya.
I lost an anchor on priest a few weeks ago. I still have no idea how it came undone. Luckily i found one....on a shelf...at academy....for $20. Lol

I try to stay out of Academy... I tend to find a lot of things on their shelves. 20 bucks would be a good cheap trip. I decided a few years ago to just stick with two $1.08 Cap blocks from Lowe's for my Anchors.
