Talk about a honeyhole. Man I found one while at Lake Guntersville. I was limited to fishing from the bank due to being boatless and I was feeling kind of down because of that. I figured the spots I could get to would be highly pressured. I figured wrong. I decided to throw a Carolina-Rig so I could get some distance. I must've caught close to a dozen bass off that one spot in two days. My biggest was a 5lb'er. The last day I fished there and as the day wore on the fishing slowed. A couple of adults showed up with several kids that were using canepoles. I gave them a bunch of bobbers which I got from Ky Dept of Fish and Wildlife. Anyway, like I said, the fishing was slow and so I said a little prayer. I said God, let me catch one more nice bass so I can show it to the kids then I will leave. By about the second cast I caught one. I showed it to the kids who got a kick out of seeing it up close and touching it. I released it and left...happy

Now that sounds like a good day fishing Carter. I have a blast whenever I get some kids to come fishing. Lately it's been too hot to go fishing around here. I could go at night but the skeeters would carry me off.

You might want to try "Thermacell Mosquito Repeller". I hear it works REAL good.

I gotta use something. With all the stuff in my blood right now, if a skeeter bites me he ends up flying sideways and grows another set of eyes.... ;D

Took my daughter to a " Kids Fishing Day" in Limestone Cove yesterday. The TWRA and Forest Service hosted and stocked Indian Creek full of Rainbow trout and let the kids have at it with a limit of two trout each. It was delayed and almost cancelled because it rained during the night and the creek was high but they delayed it an hour and fishing started at 10 am.. My daughter picked the area she wanted to fish. A spot that was nothing but rapids. She liked it because no one else was fishing it and had a "little" fishing room as the pools where elbow to elbow. I sat on a stump and just watched her and the other kids having fun and only offered a couple of suggestions to her. A couple of forest service personal and the CO stood nearby and assisted if needed. As usual at these things, parents fished and when a fish was hooked handed it to the child. I don't approve of such things but nobody said anything to them. My daughter stayed in that one spot even though others moved around her as "spots" opened up at the pools as "children" caught the two fish limit. The CO and FS persons told me that they admired her staying and fishing that one spot no matter what. Well after about an hour she caught her first rainbow trout. A nice 14" male that had a hooked jaw. She then kept right on fishing those rapids and the FS people told me that she was one stubborn and determined girl. About 10 minutes later she caught a little trout that turned out to be a native brook trout of about 5" long. All the FS people and both CO's came over and shook her hand. She then had to turn it loose as it was under the 6" size limit for brook trout. Reluctently she turned her "trophy" loose even though she wanted it mounted. ;D I joked with the CO that only my daughter could catch a brook trout in a creek stocked full of rainbows. ;D She went right back to that same spot and an hour later caught a 12" rainbow trout and limited out. She had her 15 minutes of fame while we were walking out along the creek and the FS people pointed her out as the one that caught the brook trout and everybody came and shook her hand.

She had me look up in the online regs to make sure there was a 6" size limit on Brook Trout. She said if there wasn't they owed her a brook trout. ;D I think she would have found a way to get one from them as well if it wasn't in the regs. It was though. No size limit on rainbows. She wasn't to happy with that.LOL

I am housebound at the moment for reasons explained elsewhere in this forum. My favorite fishing hole is Mill Lake, it's in the middle of the town but quit big. The lake hold rainbows (stocked), browns, catfish, blue gills and large mouth bass. In the past I had some good luck landing 2 to 3 pounder trout on power bait. Now I am looking forward to get well really fast because Brian sent me an email telling my my lures are on their way and I can't wait to try them out. I already know the perfect spot to try this lures. There is a big patch of water lilies near the shallows and an old rotten bridge where bass hang out.

Took my oldest son fishing last week. All we caught was long ears and blue gills. He caught a lot more than I did. Then again, I spent most of my time baiting his hooks, casting the line and taking the fish off his hooks.
I loved it. Being a dad is great!!!!! ;D

If you're sitting on the bank with a non-mechanical pole (cane pole) you don't need a license. Residents and carpetbaggers alike!

You know I believe the law in Tennessee is the same. Cane pole fishing with worms no license is required. Mars, check that out man.

Close Paws. Used to be that a Tn. resident fishing with live bait, sans minnows, in his county of residence did not need a license. Trout excluded. Now however you have to purchase a $6. license even for that. The fed system of giving out the sales tax money to the states based solely on the number of licenses sold in the state changed all that. Now even seniors need a $1. license.

Free fishing at Tobys'!!!!! ;D ;D Took the family to a couple of the sponsored kids fishing derbys. What a blast. Thanks to Wal-Mart for giving as "prizes", each daughter got a brand new pole/reel combo, tackle pack, tackle box, all kinds of hooks and lures and bobbers ect and a whole lot of fun! Though I don't know what the oldest daughter is going to do with all her fishing poles. She now has more then I do. I bought her one but she goes fishing and comes back with two as someone gave her another. I've had people stop at the apartment and give her a brand new rod/reel still in the pack.( this has happened several times.) Many state it's because they enjoyed watching a girl that not only fishes but is dang good at it as well. Who says being a dad with just girls is bad! ;D

I went to Lake Erie (Port Clinton) on Monday the 5th and fished on the 6th. My group included my oldest son, my huntin' buddy, a friend from church, a LM from NAFC and his daughter. We fished with Captain Jerry Taylor on his boat "Playin' Hooky". He put us on fish first thing in the morning and we caught them all day long. Our main target species was walleye. We caught a total of 32 (55 lbs) and 20+ pounds of white perch, yellow perch, white bass and catfish. The lake was flat most of the day which makes it tougher to catch eyes. We also caught a lot of freshwater drum. I caught the largest one at 26". All in all, it was a great day on the water. We plan to go back out with him again next year.
