Just an old man rambling

I fish the Clinch River in TN. I'm a bank fisherman, that likes to get to the river way before the Sun comes up, bait my hook, cast the line out, take up most of the slack, and set my pole against my bucket, and sit back and enjoy my surroundings. For me it is a big thrill to be able to hear the first bird sing, watch the sunrise, and to be perfectly honest, if I don't get a bite or catch any trout it's ok. I try to get to the river as often as I can, and also as often as TWRA is not running generators from the dam. Life is good.

Your not rambling B32. Merely painting a picture where many of us would rather be right this minute. Welcome to the forum, please send a pic of that sunrise next time out.

Welcome Bill. I've never fished like that on a river for trout. What do you use for bait? Sounds awesome, and I know right where you're coming from.

Welcome to the Forum, B32. I like your way of life, your attitude, your time schedule, what kind of beer do you drink?

Say Gordon, that looks like a
really nice bull red in your photo ! Wild guess at around 15 to
18 lbs., maybe ? Food or release ?

I've been having good luck with night crawlers. With a little air injected into it to keep it just a little off the bottom to prevent it from burrowing into the bottom. But Berkley power bait works well also.
