Few new reports

[agelesssone]

It seems that there are very few reports on fishing anymore.

I have talked to folks out on the water who have hailed me down to talk to me, saying they've seen my reports on FishingTN.com., folks I don't know or recognize even.

Apparently, there are many who read the reports but don't seem to post any reports themselves.

I understand there are a few of us "regulars" that post, but also many of those regulars have stopped posting.

What's up with that?

It's deer season. I've been fishing all of 3 or 4 times since bow season opened.

I haven't been fishing since out with you and bronzeback. 😕. I've been out of town and then down with the flu all this week. I'm now on the downhill side of it. I'm off all next week if you need some company, you know how to get in touch with me!! 👍🏼👍🏼 hope the fishing is still good when I do get back out on the water!!

Below the dam or steam plant tomorrow...hmmmm

[Gone fishing]

I plan on trying to go tomorrow if work lets me get out early... I agree with you though it's only right for us all to help one another. I can't ever get a pic to show but I'll start posting my reports as I always look for yours and others... Ive also been tied up deer hunting and haven't fished since Sept. But I'm getting after the Striper this winter! Hard on a man being a fishing and hunting junky!!!

Enjoy reading your post. Only fished 2hrs since mid October.working 6-7 days a week plus my sons 6.0 powerstroke blew oil cooler. What fun that was. Off next week hoping to get out but so much to do. Would like to slide up to dale hallow and chase a brown fish. Thanks to everyone that does post.

After that epic day with you and skillet, i figured that was as good as it was gonna get so i sunk the boat and burned all my gear. I have since taken up competitive underwater basket weaving. And yes.....its just as tough as it sounds....fierce fierce competitors from all over the globe.
I have tuesday off work......im hitting some kind of water source for the day!

[agelesssone]

TN, if I followed your example, I'd have burned three boats by now!

I've had three outings in a row that I didn't catch a targeted fish, i.e. sauger/striper.
The day you, skillet, and I fished, was a banner day for sauger (6 fish....5 shorts, one 15 1/4 incher) compared to what I've done lately.
My wife won't even let me park the boat near the house. She says the skunk smell is too bad!
I need to get my butt below Old Hickory dam while they are spilling so much.
But not today.
I've made up some 10" stingers for the short biting (probably small) rockfish. I've had a few grab my skippie and run with it only to have them drop it. Gonna see if I can upset their apple cart today.
Tight lines to all!

I post in the Tennessean News paper on Thursdays (Old Hickory) and here.After you and Woody taught me how to catch those "dump" tilapia as one bass fisherman called them..I have a new desire for winter fishing!

I haven't been out in a month either. Probably hit the water sometime between now and Monday night.

Haven't been out since late Sept. I've got a dog I have to give insulin to twice a day. Of course it is at 6:00 am and 4:00 pm. The two times of the day I need to be on the water. It has put a real stop on my fishing.

Hit the steam plant today before sunrise. The kayaks had already occupied most all of the space near the barrier....though one aggressive boat motored right up and nosed in. Threw topwater....nothing. Didn't see a single person catch anything but some tilapia. Did catch a few stripe on a Arig. No evidence of any feeding. All in all slow, but nice to be out.

I'd say by the time we left there was 30 or so boats/kayaks up and down the canal. Everyone seemed to respect each others space except that first boat.

Striper were feeding all morning beyond the barrier. A lot of action all the way back by the stairs. Not sure why nothing was being caught. Saw everything thrown from flukes, to A rigs, to live shad.

Has anyone been at night lately???

Went out late afternoon yesterday got back to the ramp at 6PM. Had one big bite he was around 20 plus. We saw him surface but he got off. Which was surprising with a circle hook. Oh well Im just thankful he wasnt my first big striper. If so i probably wouldnt have slept last night.
