  1. Great Job and Good Shot. Good eatin there.
  2. On a bird, it comes out of the same hole, either way it probably tastes like a ss.
  3. The white part is mostly urine. Good thing he did not barf on ya!
  4. Nice. I have always wanted to see it in the deep dark winter. How long was the daylight now?
  5. That failure would jerk you stiff. But jet boats handle different than a speed boat. I will stick to the old 50 hp and cables. 30 mph on the water is fine for me.
  6. 135 Degrees is like medium rare..... Might want to stick to the propane
  7. When Doves Fry, by Prince
  8. Keep your lips tight and they may be there again. Good fishin.
  9. Just saying, that was one large cemetary. Wifey noticed that they have many more graves than population. Nice ole feller at the outdoors shop. Seems like crappie is a big thing in that town.
  10. Ver Sales has a big ole Cemetary. Tom Tom routed me all the way around it on a cut thru to the Beach. At least no one here is from Low Wassie MO. Been there, made alot of fun of it thru the years. Went thru Toga MO. this afternoon.
  11. I have always hear Sack. Took awhile figuring out the Son Sac thing last weekend till I found the Son arm. Fishing buddy has a wife that was raised on it. He met her in Med School at Columbia. Interesting place, I really liked it. Gonna go back to explore it more.
  12. Lots of geese flying over the past few days. Local ponds had mixed ducks scattered out on them today. They are coming down.
  13. They really turn on in the fall. We catch the crap out of them on the TN River in Nov. Don't know where they come from, but they go shallow on the bank along the river and will tear up a suspending jerk bait. Never seem to catch many any other time of the year.
  14. Fishing out of the State Park myself. Buddy hit it this afternoon and had white Bass and a few smallies. Gonna hit it in morning
  15. They found a sinkhole under dam, lowered lake level, grouted hole for several years, then left lake low like it is now. It breached emergency spillway in May 2017. That funky color is the new norm, same as the Back River below. I assume it is from the low lake levels and boats stirring up silt. Looks like she caught the same dink I did a few weeks ago, the only fish of the day. It was hot and we were out for a boat ride. Camped below the dam and had a good time. But the fishing is poor there now.
  16. Seen the brookies and caught them. But not in many years, back in the 90's.
  17. Mostly rainbow. They stocked browns a few years back, only time I caught very many. It's been a long time since I have seen a cut or brookie. Fingerling stockings took a beating after they put muskie in there. You can catch a brown when the float traffic is gone. Most all get caught and kept.
  18. https://www.riverhillstraveler.com/removing-the-dam-restoring-the-stream-is-one-alternative-for-crane-lake/
  19. I read another story, there is a movement to remove the dam and return the Crane Creek to its original stream bed. I will look for the article.
  20. Of course, you tossed the bacon since it had a fishy taste! What was the bait used? Cranks or jigs?
  21. So, did they taste good??? I plan on looking at Enid, Grenada, and Sardis on the way to Mobile next month if that happens. I have had friends that have caught 3lb plus crappie down there. I have never been a crappie guy, but my boat is a Crappie Pro, so it may catch some. Bass has been pretty slow out of it this season. I have been trying to extend my catching season some.
  22. Not Peta friendly, but I saw this happen a few years ago... Couple of months later, I think the same squirrel missed a limb above us and did a belly flop on the ground in front of us. Hit with a solid thud, then did that goofy my nuts hurt walk of shame on the way out.
  23. Attaboy. If you live long enough, you will grow deaf to that kind of noise anyway.
  24. The Dollies are the most under appreciated game fish. We had a blast on them in Quartz Creek on a self guided trip in Alaska. They will wear your arm out quick on a fly rod and you can walk into some pretty country quickly off a road in a rental car. And they are so beautiful, tasty too.
  25. Still need to do a Canada trip. Going to dip my tip in some saltwater next month if hurricanes stay away. Going to have to see Yellowstone and fish there. New Zealand has always looked interesting. Alaska will happen again... Fishing all of the major systems of TN and the TN River is gettting worked out. Added 3 new ones this year. Scouted a few more. Life is short, Fish More.
