Well I think it actually may be a common snapper now.

Yeah we seen a larger one down that way before near KK. This little guy had light bumps on his shell that you could feel under the moss. The rear end looked bumpy and spiked. If you look at my FB you can see the rest of the pics there.

Wasn't sure a friend of mine told it was one. Said it was just a baby, lol.

Took the fam and and SLT Staff down to the Finley by KK yesterday. We had a blast hanging out swimming and fishing. I caught 3 Smallies on Trantham Crawlers and had a heck of a time trying to get the Largies to bite. Bluegill were in good form of course. We even caught a baby Alligator Snapping Turtle. It was a good ol time all around.

Sounds like fun thanks for the info. Was thinking about the James this weekend.

It was a little slow today but nice. Got a lot of Bluegill and the bass had lock jaw but were around. Seemed the wanted the smaller gills when we caught them but just weren't chewing hard enough to catch.

Will be at KK if anyone else is going to be out today. Going to give it a try in this weather and see if the bass are hungry.

Seen fish but caught nothing it was just nice day to go down there. Seen a few nice bass but had nothing enticing enough for them. Water was really cold as I had to do one rod retrieval. One of the kids was learning to cast a spinning rig and tossed my pole out in the middle. Last year the water was little warmer around this time. Going to finish the Boat this week and take a paddle up from KK. I think the fishing will be more productive by my other spots just couldn't walk to em this year.

Bout to leave in a little while and can't find my freaking camera. Murphy is up to something today.

Hitting the Finley at KK tomorrow will post pics if anything good or not.

just a little down from there at KK there is slab there part of the old road. Around this time a year it is nice spot just below and there is spot in the back too that can not be seen. Next time you head out that way shoot me a call. I almost got my float skiff done I am making it mainly for fishing the Finley around KK and the park.

How high was it on the slab by KK? If you went by there that is... I drove by one day recently I had a sinder block out there I was using to gauge the depth. Last time I went down there in April I could barely see my block out on the gravel where I placed it. I frequent that area a lot living in Rogersville.

Sure thing building a new skiff next week so will be out in two weeks or so hitting the river. Best part is the cost so far has been ultra low for this 11 footer. Last one I built ran me clse to $250+ this one is running me around $150. Plus can hold more then one over weight fisherman.

Sweet thanks for the info will be the first time hitting the park with out being land locked to a bank.

@Jack Jones: I usually have some nice experiences around the bridge on KK near Rogersville. Last year I made a minnow trap out of 3 Liter bottle and did good on live bait. Shoot me a PM maybe we can hit a few spots sometime.
