Until the bacteria gets into your open wounds, it’s all good!!!

The little pigeon yes. That’s not the best time of year but they can still be caught, sometimes they will be further upstream later into the summer. There will be far less fishing pressure though and the smallmouth are sometimes all the way up to the national Park boundary on both prongs of the little pigeon when it’s super hot outside. The one I caught a couple weeks ago pictured above was right in Downtown sevierville, the fish like to hang out in the eddies behind the shopping carts And piles of flip-flops

It sure looks like it would cast a mile

I’ve never seen such a dam. Ours are on huge rivers

They do, but I don’t. Smallies also love Zara spooks and plastisol

Nothing is lucky about living in an HOA……. just kidding (kind of), sounds like a cool lake anyhow

I thought you quit fishin (scratch the paint off them plugs to reveal a much more effective bone color)

If I ain’t fishin something bad has happened

Hahahaha no kids for me or Elaztech.

I have not and never will purchase a regular TRD, $5 for 8 half worms is outrageous I’ll never get the big ones either but it sure seems like A better idea (economically) to get a longer one or a zinker . Even if you like the small bait cut a big one and a half and you’ve got two

I was in my boat yesterday kind of on a non fishing trip with the lady and friends paddling kayaks along side. (Air temp very hot water temp a refreshing 63). I was running the trolling motor to keep up with them and figured why not troll down stream with the electric. It was like 15 feet deep so I grab the suspending Shad rap thinking it would stay down better. Well by golly it got to the bottom and bumped it the entire time almost regardless of how fast I was trolling it. Got a drum, a nice sauger, and a decent smallmouth nearly instantly. For whatever reason this was the first time I’ve ever trolled one of these lures and I am quite thrilled about the possibilities for the future

Should’ve went canoeing …….. just kiddin, glad you made it back and got everything fixed

Believe it or not, downtown sevierville has a bunch of big smallmouth but most people only fish for/catch them in spring and it’s quite the poop show

You can’t fight it! I’ve seen many people try and fail. Developers make up the board of individuals that determine how many houses go in, it’s a vicious cycle. Deepest pockets win every time

I always change the whole hub that comes with bearings in it. Lots easier and not much more expensive

Love the round abu’s

Definitely try setting the trap without any bait after letting a cat out , it has magical skunk catching power

I think I’m dealing with one of those right now. I catch everything but skunks at one particular house. My only real strategy is persistence , it will turn itself in eventually. Sometimes a passing nighttime vehicle is the great equalizer and yes it most certainly never ends. Skunks are beyond relentless when it comes to survival and reproduction. there’s a particular neighborhood where we’ve caught well over 100 skunks over the years and we aren’t the only gig in town. And then there’s lots of homeowners that trap their own ……… guess what……. There’s still skunks over there. In a different neighborhood down the street I caught 23 over 2 years at the same house in the exact same spot

Mono backer is cheaper than braid backer

Clear the screen on your intake, you’ll be fine

If it works just roll with it! I also live in a jungle

Hahahahahahahajjahahahahahahahahahhaha

I think that depends on what I believed before I opened the valve…….. so……….. yes!

I opened the Schrader valve and Schrödinger’s cat ran out

I get black tarp stuck around my lawn mower blade from where the previous homeowner tarped under a mulch bed. Didn’t stop weeds but it stops a push mower instantly
