Like PapaJoe said, anything that we can do just put us to work. Should be there by mid afternoon Wed. Everyone Travel Safe Mike
riskkid 2 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Glad the storms passed everyone safely!! We'll be leaving out tomorrow for the long 2-3 hour trip from Nashville. I bought Susan a fishing shirt at BPS....it didn't fit just right so we'll be making an exchange stop at the Nashville BPS before leaving tomorrow. Does anyone need me to pick up any last minute items for them? Will be happy to oblige, just let me know. See y'all tomorrow afternoon....this is going to be a long day at the office!!
riskkid 2 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 Anyone planning on throwing an A Rig? They've been biting it pretty good on Percy Priest and Old Hickory in Nashville but I suspect that bite is slowing down. I'd rather not pack my chandelier set up, bringing too much stuff as it is with out that thing! BUT....if it's going to get used I'll always make the accommodation.....be curious to see what the rest of you are thinking about it.
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 29, 2014 Super User Posted April 29, 2014 I'm bringing a couple. You never know! However, my buddies are NOT fishing The Rig in tournaments now, pretty much only for striper. The report I got this morning is this: Lures: square bills, jerkbaits and Red Eye Shad in 1'-8' of water
riskkid 2 Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 I'm bringing a couple. You never know! Yep, it's that "you never know" stuff that always gets you. I'll be packing the chandeliers and telephone poles....may be renting a trailer too
Jack Fate Posted April 29, 2014 Posted April 29, 2014 rhino, dinky, and bassinisaddicting are already there and fished today....... HOPE THEY ARE SAFE!!! I hope they weren't fishing yesterday. It was storming very bad all day. Esp. after noon

For whatever reason it seems that the A Rig bite shuts off after the water temp gets up to 65 and over on the TN river. That's about what the temp is now give or take a couple of degrees. May still have some luck with it. 1
Super User Alpster Posted April 29, 2014 Super User Posted April 29, 2014 Spending The Night In Bristol, TN. Rollin In About MiDday Tomorrow 1
BassnChris Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 I'll bet nobody thought to warn the resort Long Mike "Stormcrow" Goodson was on the way. If they had been informed of that................they would have cancelled the reservations and told us to go to Pickwick! 2
BassnChris Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Fishing for Beckie and I was very slow. Water very muddy from the storm runoff. But the great thing about it......is there is always tomorrow.........at least for the next few days!
macmichael Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 A wake up. Papa Joe is supposed to arrive here around 6am and we are heading out around 7am. See ya'll tomorrow. Hope everyone arrives safely.
soopd Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 The entire lake will probably be muddy for the next couple of days due to all the storms we have had. They will be moving a lot of water. Stay safe.
Mr. Swabby(aka westtennessee1) Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Nate and I are on the move from VA. See everyone tonight! 1
Pete-K Posted April 30, 2014 Posted April 30, 2014 Picked the meat up and Chicken, will put the Boston Butts on tomorrow. The chicken will go on under the Butts Friday am. Pull all the meat off the smoker and Throw it into a cooler Friday. Head that way around 3 pm or so, its 1.5 hours there. Get there and set up and pull the meat and get everything ready. Hope everyone is Hungry, plenty of Pulled Pork BBQ, and Chicken for the ones that may not be able to eat Pork. Baked Beans and slaw and will pick up some Potato Salad and bread on the way. Also homemade sauce one mild and one spicy. If anyone needs anything I can pick up on the trip from Pickwick or between here and there let me know. Will be stopping at Walmart for sure. Wish my back would have allowed me to fish this week. But last Thursday on our way to Chattanooga it told me it was Boss. Pete
