Just wanted to give a shout out to my son, Captain Ty. He runs FV-Catfish Charter Service on the Tennessee River. He fishes for monster catfish with a typical guide trip boating 40+ catfish and fish weighing in the 60-100lb range. He can take up to 4 people for a 8 hour guide trip. Check out his website to book the trip of a lifetime. Also check out his YouTube channel for some great action from his guide trips.

Hopefully The Algae Is Gone

Going early tomorrow morning to one of my favorite fishing spots. I am praying that the massive algae bloom that the lake experienced a month and a half ago is gone. I am thinking that the water should be nice and clear and the that the bass bite will be crazy good. Wait for the video to come out!!

July 4th

Hope everyone had a safe 4th of July. With so many things happening in our country (many of them not good), I hope we take some time this weekend to reflect on the sacrifice it took to secure the freedom we enjoy today. From the American Revolution, where men gave their lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor to secure a Republic and our earthly freedom for us; down thru 2 world wars until now, with men and women still serving so we can keep that Republic. We would do well to honor them. Most of all, let us not forget the One upon whom this country is founded and the One who died on a cross to secure for us eternal freedom. May God find it in His heart to still bless America.

Great Company but Lousy Fishing!!

Beautiful evening and great fishing partner but lousy fishing. Went to a very small private pond last night where we have caught channel cats before, but not tonight. The owner Chris was a good host, but we just couldn’t get hooked up on anything. Tried bottom rigs and suspended rigs with cut up chicken and cut up tilapia. Derrick caught a few bluegill and that was all. Spent about 3 hours out there. The conversation was good and so were the sugar free chocolate cookies. So as fisherman always do, we will certainly go back and try again. Presented Derrick with a new medium heavy Shakespeare cat rod and reel. Great to see the look on his face.
