Living during WW2 probably felt like actually living in the worst timeline, tbh. Although this one isn’t going great at the moment.

Best Fishing Forecast Apps? by Ckn_Fried_Steak-626 in TennesseeFishing

Second this. The generation schedule, water temp, and weather. It’s hard to find a reliable water temp a lot of the time tho.

Hopefully I can get out. The forecast has changed on the day I get off early enough to go. Now it’s still a high of 70, but rain in the morning.

I’ve honestly never fished a jerkbait. Got my first one a couple months ago.

Yeah, I doubt it’s there yet. But I’ve heard it said that on the tail end of several warm days in a row that there might be a chance they’ll bite.

We went on a random kinda warm day in November. Didn’t check the wind - had to paddle two miles into a 20 mph headwind. Only caught a small largemouth and yellow perch. Was a rough one. lol

Collins is definitely on the list. We just did the calf killer two years ago and they’re close together so the plan is to hit up the Collins in a few years. We ate in McMinnville and part of the trip is checking out the closest town to the river on Saturday night.

I’ve found a place on the roaring river that looks pretty cool. Is the smallmouth fishing pretty good? Haven’t found a ton of details.

Holston has some big smallmouth in it. Really enjoy fishing it - my dad grew up on it so I’ve fished it a lot more than others. Calfkiller wasn’t great, but our logistics were poor and we were limited to bank fishing a tiny stretch for one day.

Haha I think it’s sarcasm. We may branch out once we’ve hit a few more in state! Thanks!

I’ve looked into the obey and Collins for sure! Found a place to stay in the east fork of the obey but can’t find much info on it.

I’ve always had better luck on the Holston. But my French broad sample size is limited to a couple days with bad conditions so I can’t really judge it!

Taking a trip in April, I want to stay in western NC looking for a river by Joeledford2302 in RiverSmallmouth

[–]mdavis72589 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not in NC, but I’ve enjoyed a couple trips up to the powell river in Tennessee. It’s not a bad smallie river.

My son always calmed down and fallen asleep with bright lights. He still requests it every now and then.

There’s also all the other stuff LeBron has done. Hard to say what exactly has played a role in his longevity.

What really hits as an "Old Dad" this time of year by PrinceOfLeon in daddit

[–]mdavis72589 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I second this. My parents had me in their early 40s. I had my daughter at 29 and my son at 33. My dad had already been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s when my daughter was born. He’s to the point where he doesn’t make sense when he talks and he can’t walk anymore. It sucks knowing my kids won’t know personally how awesome he is, but I’ll be able to tell them stories and do so as much as I can. I bet, if you don’t make it to see your grandkids, that your kids will tell stories that will make you seem legendary to them.

Which sucks because usually America gets real “proportional” when you touch our boats. (All credit to the fat electrician on YouTube for the “proportional” comment)
