55 is a start--- Crappie also like clearer water that is a consistant level with some discharge at the dam. Saturday seems to be the day to fill up the livewell with Douglas crappie. Let's go fishin". dada 3-21-19 10:30 PM

Charger 1 & I tried 4 different places on he 20th before catching BOTH crappie! The first 3 places were waters on Douglas that we caught reasonable fish previously, but we got nary a bite. Finally, with the crappie quit biting at all, we caught the TWO. Due to the waters changing- lower, some cleaner, 54 degrees, etc, you have to use the fishfinders & search new areas . The fish were still showing on the graff suspended in all the places we fished, but they always start & quit feeding during the day. dada 3-21-19 7:10 AM

Tubejig, who's complaining about a ramp with only 3 rigs parked there? That is what I call EMPTY. We launched in less than 2 minutes! at Dandridge ramp. dada 3-18-19 3:07 PM

Dandridge was "empty" of rigs this AM at 8:30. The Geico Bass was at Ft. Loudon this weekend To make matters worse, Charger 1 & I didn't get one crappie bite down from the ramp, nor down around Muddy Creek. (Wednesday, we got 12 good ones) We could see fish on the fishfinder at both places, mostly near the top, but they had LOCKJAW today! dada 3-17-19 2:38 PM

I don't hunt anymore, but curious as to where the pics came from? I have heard coyotes chasing their prey(?) at Douglas Flat Creek area, but never saw like the pics here. dada 3-11-19 1;19 pm

NukeFisher, Bull Run Park has a sign posted-Open from daylight to dusk ONLY. Wonder if they will tow your rig out after nightfall? dada 3-5-19 8:55 AM

That's our Rusty. Never knew you could catch a bass in that little ditch behind his house! LOL dada 3-4-19 9:10 AM

LEDs are available by the 16' strips for under $10 , usually free delivery from internet suppliers. They come in all colors, even "black lites" & 12 volts. Since I have red-left & green-right side on the full side of my boat, I got the waterproof, self stick kind. They also come in low or bright style & are easy to wire with 2 wires attached. As a kid, we used to carry YELLOW "plastic" & Rubber bands to use in the fog for our car headlights. White reflects fog, yellow doesn't. It has been noted on TA that flood lights are NOT allowed while running a boat, but the LEDs are visable even more than the required bow lights in foggy situations. Most fishermen use green or black lights for attracting minnows & night fishing. dada 3-4-19 8:47 AM

Works for me. I call it "spider rigging" dada 3-1-19 7:54 AM

Shucks! You didn't wait for me to get my fishing rods--It was reported that walter's bridge was clearing up SOME & a few crappie were being caught on bobbers near the bank. Maybe I'll see you there, weather permitting---- dada 3-1-19 7:50 AM

Finally got my boat ready, but rain gets in the way! If water conditions & catching info is known, please advise. Tomorrow LOOKS good weatherwise. dada 2-26-19 6:05 PM

TWRA stocked Ft City duck pond with trout. Reports were that they also checked for trout stamps later. After all this rain, yesterday, it appeared that it had overflowed, washing the trout downstream??? dada 2-24-19 8:28 AM

Justfishn, where is Hartwell & can you wait for the rest of us to get our rods & go with you to get out of this rain?? LOL dada 2-24-19 8AM

The almost is 25 for the 2 of us. The wardens don't accept the manikin's license & those dummies take up too much room anyhow. LOL It is "terrible" when my fishing partners gives all the fish to me to clean, then waits for me to invite them over for a fish-fry. The last one I put on , I fried 125 pieces. dada 2-18-19 7:57 AM
