What does that French Broad look like?  Easy jet boat fishing? 

My fishing buddy will probably settle in Chattanooga when he retires.  We are planning on things between here and there.  Have not hit the Knoxville areas yet.  Liked Cordell Hull, Center Hill was ok.  Tims Ford and Normandy were a little different but there is alot of Duck River in that area to fish.

East TN is good scenery, but the TN River in West Tn has been pretty productive.

It looked high to me when we crossed it.  Water in tree line and murky.  But I don’t have any reference.  I plan to come back and try it and go up into pigeon if it’s doable.   Every fish I hooked went airborne.  It was awesome!

The South has been hammered with torrential rains.  All tailwaters are high down there.

We went out with JR Waits yesterday. Fish call charters.  Isle of Palms SC.
Real professional guiding for 25 years.  Not a bite for 4 hours and he said the tide will change again and hopefully they turn on.  We talked to a guy at the marina who said they didn’t get a bite yesterday.  
The next hour and a half it was on.  We had 17 plus a ray in the boat with one double hook up and a bunch bites and early releases. Great day!!!   Wife had the numbers and big fish.  We ate at Acme low country kitchen per @evilcatfishand it was the best food of the trip!   We haven’t cooked a meal in a week so that is saying something.

Figures it’s a woman!😂.  That tail was all over trying to get me.   I said I wanted to hold it and the guide says “what!?   You’re on your own”.
