My boss needed help troubleshooting his depth finder so I helped him for a bit.

Were you able to trouble shoot the graph?

[TnRiver46]

@gimruis Yes it’s the one in the pic. his boat sank and he said it hasn’t turned on ever since. I got under the console and cut a thousand wire ties and found the red wire disconnected 😂. Touched them to a hot battery and it fired up. It’s a fiberglass center console so I probably can’t fish the wires into the belly properly but he had an auxiliary battery under there that seemed like a good option. He’s going to look at it tomorrow and make a decision. Then he wants me to wire up a brand new tiny little garmin onto his sailboat. Luckily it’s all open in the belly

@Dogface  I’m sure you’ll be sharing some pictures soon 😉

@TnRiver46: You're a handy friend.

 

@Eric 26: Like Alex, Pat, and others, you are so supportive of your fellow anglers.

My guess is he never got to it!    😁

I don’t know about that, but I have decades of experience crawling into scary small places 😂

…and with that, the student becomes the master.

 

Proud of you, buddy.

Last day of a mini-vacation. Went back home to Maryland for my daughter’s birthday and got back late last night. Decided to fish this morning as a cold front was due in today. 
 

Woke up and it was 72° and calm. Decided to fish the shore due to wind. Good choice. By 9:30 it was 60° and gusty. Got a lot of light strikes and caught three. Two were 1 lb’ers but the second one was nice. Almost 3-1/2 lbs. Nice fight on M/XF spinning rig. All on a watermelon red Zoom Trick TR. 

 

Most bites were in deeper water.

Amazing day @TnRiver46, daygum stud on that green one 💪

 

 

I forgot to mention in my report, that spot has got to be some of the nastiest water in East TN, it’s at an urban creek mouth that is a river of garbage and needles. 💉 one of my coworkers cut his foot on a rock and immediately got an infection last summer 

 

guess the fish are feeding off the microbes 😂

Went out this last Sunday to enjoy some of the unseasonably warm weather before it went back in the tank today (19* out this morning 🙄). My lake of choice was certainly a target rich environment. 

Fishing was a little tougher than I'd hoped, but I managed to nab about 15 of them before I had to call it a day. Saw water temps all the way to 51* already, makes the cold front hurt that much worse. Supposed to be back up to nearly 80* by Sunday though, just have to make it through a rough couple days.

@Bluebasser86: Your last bass is quite close to popping! What a fatty.

[Pat Brown]

Oh boy this morning was fun.  Bout to hit it again.

 

 

All of them caught on the wind blown bank after 3 days of warm SW wind.  

[TnRiver46]

Nice bass!!!!

 

Keep an eye to the sky @Pat Brown, we had some violent storms just roll thru and they have already made it to Carolina moving 50-60 mph

Yes, we got the storms in middle Tennessee earlier in the day. Temps dropped from 70's to 40's.

Muy frio!

Some of my best wading spots are under and around bridges. I quit wading several of them years ago for the above reason. They constantly have junkies living under them. They should ban narcan and let that problem sort itself out.

Yeah buddy!!! It was 59 at 2am when I got up for work, tomorrow morning it''l be about 20. Only for a day though, back into the 60's by the weekend. Lot's of warm rain overnight and today. Hopefully that influx will heat up the bite. Been TOUGH lately. I ain't complaining though, the water was soft all through Feb. Never seen that before.

[Swamp Girl]

@Pat Brown: I wonder if the bass felt the cold front coming and went on a feeding spree. Whatever the reason, they're beauties!

No doubt but I've been out for 5 short trips this year including today and have not had a hit.  The good news is I'm getting to try out all the new stuff the monkey made me buy. The bad news is it ain't working. 😊

I went back to the spot I caught lots of fish yesterday and only got two today. It was right after a storm and the creek was muddy. Shad were everywhere and my line kept hitting them making them jump. Maybe they had too much real food and didn’t want a hook. It was extreme post front. On a positive note we whipped auburn! @AlabamaSpothunter……….

 

 

Posting a couple pics of the garbage flow, at least they have a trash catcher at all the creeks 

[NorcalBassin]

Made it out for a quick trip before a big storm rolls in. Nothing on big swimbaits but salvaged the day with finesse.

Yesterday Rodman Res. Florida 7.1 lbs

@Ski  Magnificent fish sir, congrats!

Yeah and I was nervous as heck when Auburn went up by five and stayed at five for a while. I need to stay away from basketball and keep fishing. Less strain on the inards!

Dalton went 0-5 in one stretch then started hitting bombs from the parking lot, along with a MAJOR PHI SLAMMA JAMMA on a perfect feed! You just can't coach that! They still need lots of work on free throws  😬
