So I decided I'd gift myself a dedicated truck stick for my birthday. Here lately, I've been getting off work with enough time to stop and fish on my way home.


http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-MegaCast-Rod-and-Reel-Spinning-Combos/product/1202230501123/

Got the 6' Medium action.


I can't wait for it to get here!!! Now I have to rig up a rod holder somewhere in the back, and put my point & shoot camera back in the truck.


This way, I don't have to use one of my "better" rods, and if I break it, so what. It's not one of my $100+ rigs, and VERY replaceable.

I've also started plotting out deep pockets/access points on Google Earth for my adventures. Not quite sure how to share them, or publish them, but at least I have the information. These aren't mountain streams, these are creeks/small rivers that feed into J Percy Priest Reservoir.

Probably in class..
What are you fishing for? I can recommend a few lures for you. My roommate and I have fished a lot, he is still a bigger fisherman than I. This is what he caught I think last year in the cold.

Bahaha..Tim...you're a funny guy. Seriously though, I grew up fishing bass tournaments and such, so I've got a hell of a bass setup, and I'll be damned if I break one of my good rods in the truck.




Tucker, we don't have trout in these rivers around here. There is only one that I know of that stays cold enough for trout that isn't in the mountains, and I don't plan on fishing it. It'll all be bass or bluegill, etc.

Get a flat back canoe so you can add a motor.

I've thought about that but the rivers I want to take it on are small and shallow around here except for the Tennessee..which would be nice to have a motor for that one lol

You could always get a trolling motor to save some paddling then pull it up and paddle the rest of the way.

Yeah that's true. I wouldn't mind having a flat bottom aluminum but those things are way too expensive lol

Went today om my way home from work with my new rod/reel. I caught 7-8, my new boss caught 2. Couple of red ear, 2 rock bass, and a buuunch of bluegill. The camera on my phone is messed up, but he got a pic of the huge bluegill I caught. I thought it was a bass at first!

Anyway, as soon as he sends that pic to my phone, I'll be happy to upload it.

Awesome! Fishing is always a blast, no matter how many you catch.

Hey, this lil fugger was fat!!! There were largemouth swimming around with him, and I thought I'd hooked one of them until I pulled him out of the water.

The inflatables are nice for small water, as you can use a trolling motor or paddle, etc....and, you can portage them easily if you want to cross rougher terrain, etc.

You guys are all posting pics of bait though...where's the FISH!?!?!
