I have a guide to go fishing so hopefully he’ll be able to help figure it out. Ive seen the pics and theres what seems to be rainbow trout as well. There’s some dorado fish that looks awesome. Like a river rainbow mahi. I’ll definitely take pics so you can see.

I just bought a Lund Pro-V with 200 HP Merc Pro XS. Literally my dream boat and installed some electric downriggers and an additional Helix 9 in the bow. I’m working too much to use it a lot right now but took it out and started to kind of out the stripers a couple weeks ago, caught a few nice ones

I like fishing out of Nitros. I own a lund but want to upgrade, esp if I get a place on Nip, I need more boat. My buddy who guides up there has a nitro. actually 2 buddies who guide up there do. Pretty good on the big water

Here is a real fishing story. Drove 3 hours to fish for the day with my childhood friend. 36.00 worth of Black Salties and a half a pound of Strawberriy Koolaide chicken. We are in the water at 7:00 and fish hard with at least 6 lines of cut bait, live bait and red chicken. We did not get a single bite all day!! Had a great time and would do it all again tomorrow. The End.

@iFish_CTT really envious of you and the part of the province you live in. Every time we go up there the wife and I spend the next month planning on moving up and running a camp lol.
2 weeks there on a small lake and I didn’t get tired of it at all. Covered the entire lake bass fishing and put lots of fish in the boat. Only going to get to that place for a week next summer. Diversifying my walleye tactics there was hard. I had the pattern and spots but the bite was only hot for a short window. When it was on, lots of smaller or slot fish. Not enough what I would consider eater sized.
When you get over your ptsd and venture back, lemme know and I’ll shoot ya the spots that always produced good fish.

Got these while fishing a bass tournament earlier this year. Sad thing is I only caught 1 scoreable bass.

Watts Bar? Do you know John Murray?
Caught this guy this morning, tried to revive him for 20mins but he didn’t make it.

Vacationing in Florida on the Gulf coast. I’ve seen lots of differently setup boats for all kinds of fishing in shore and offshore and freshwater. I don’t recall ever seeing a boat setup like this.
He was cruising along with the bow completely put of the water the whole time, like he wasn’t on plane ever.
My wife asked me why the bow was so high up if all the weight was in the front. All I could say is it’s probably a really light aluminum boat, over powered maybe with its fuel tank in the back. But I don’t know.
You guys ever see anything like this?
thats too bad but it happens. Today was crazy hot and humid so Im sure that didnt help much. What lure did you get that fish on?
Don’t think we do. Watts Bar is not one we fish regularly. It is about an hour or so away. We spend much more time on the French Broad River and the Holston River.
Heavy motor. Looks inefficient with his stern that low. Was he at speed where he should have been on a plane?
Yeah he was moving out. Should’ve been on plane.
I’m on vacation next week. I plan on taking a day trip to nip. Will be my first time there this season. I’m looking forward to it big time
