We have fished 8 days and 37 hrs so far this year. We have fished in snow, rain, and sleet. We have fished in 60 deg temps down to 32 deg, we have fished calm days to winds in the mid 20's. We have caught several different species from largemouth, smallmouth, hybrids, crappie, and skipjack. So far it's starting out to be a great year, and I'll be hitting the water again today after work to put me over 40hrs for the year. Last year we had around 800 hours on the water for the year, 2010 we just hit the 1000 hrs mark on the water. That's hard to do especially when we both average 60 hr weeks at our normal jobs and also shoot. It's great living in Tennessee we have so many great places to fish and a lot of different species also. We have been able to share our enjoyment of the water, fishing, and just being outdoors with friends, and family. This will be the 3rd year in a row that we have fished in the Florida saltwater from the kayaks. We hold annual liscenses in Tennessee with trout stamps, Alabama, Florida, and Indiana. We usually take weekend trips to Kentucky. We look forward to introducing more people to the great sport of kayak fishing.
The weather has been crazy with highs in the 50's then snow, sleet, ice and rain the next day then the day after back in the 60's. It's just been nuts. The past couple weeks we have fished Dale Hollow, a TWRA Lake, and the Cumberland river and have caught fish every outing besides this evening, but I'll try my best to make up for it tomorrow. The baits that have produced are jerkbaits, Rat-L-Traps, Big Hammers, Tiny Flukes on a Scrounger head, Bandit 200's in Spatterblack and shiners.
