By the end of the trip, large schools of sand bass were tearing up the southern shoreline, past the end of the parking lot. We call that the Sand Bar. When stripe are schooling it's a real good place to wear 'em out.
I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Congrats on the squealers.

Set your drag on your reels. I’ve brought in 20plus lb flatheads on 6lb test line. And crappie rods. Good deal on catching some catfish. Not sure what u call them other fish. Lol
A friend, the Bible and a banker will get you though about anything.

We used to run jugs up there at night till the vehicle break ins got so bad we were afraid to park there. Caught some good cats though.

Otherwise the current keeps it just below the surface. I use a 1oz sinker. Plus he has a trolling motor to slow his drift, which I don't have. After fishing with me, The Boss said I need a TM, I told her it's not possible unless I get a new-to-me boat to mount it on.

Fresh cut bait for me here on the Tennessee. In the fall I’ll fish with live bluegill for big flatheads at night. Any other time it’s fresh shad. I prefer the heads when using small pieces up to the size of my hand. I don’t fish with any smelly baits cause the channel cats wear that out. I usually fish for big blues or flatheads. I’m bout to get me a cast net and learn how to use it. I’m going to try using live shad and shiners for bass and crappie. Thinking about going this evening and dropping a minnow in front of the bridge columns at Stevenson.

Asking out of pure curiosity and a total lack of knowledge cause I've never had either. What Flat heads and Blues but no Channel cats?

Going to see if I can find some shad in the morning. See if I can hook up with a whisker fish.

Asking out of pure curiosity and a total lack of knowledge cause I've never had either. What Flat heads and Blues but no Channel cats? Small Blues taste better than channels IMO. Blue ares game fish just like crappie and bass. Can you catch them on stink baits? Sure, but you’ll catch more channels than blues. Blues follow shad all day long, eat mussels, etc. to me a blue has a brighter white colored fillet and is easier to get a cleaner tasting fillet than a channel. I don’t eat flatheads but dang they fight hard! A 40lb flathead is all you’ll want on a medium heavy 7 1/2’ rod with a ambassador 6500.
