I was frocked to 3rd Class Gunners Mate under the the guns of the USS Wisconsin when she was still mothballed in Philly. I was on the USS Coontz that was in the shipyard back then.

Here is an old one I picked up for $600.00. It's decking and carpet were rotted. I pulled up all the old wood and replaced the deck with pressure treated deck board. I then coated them with truck liner and laid down new carpet. The outside needed a little TLC. A few spots needed some fiberglass and sanding because it looked like someone had it in the river along with a new prop. The carb needed rebuilt and it runs like a top. It's a tri-hull with a little 25 hp on it, but its fast.

I used to walk past the Newport News when she was mothballed in Philly.

I'm fishing this tournament tomorrow night at the Cherokee Dam from 7:30 until 2:30 a.m. and I haven't fished a tournament for money since I left the FLW tour. I mean don't get me wrong I know my fish I know the seasonal patterns and you know all the clouds in the wind and all that but it's just getting back into it because I open my own restaurant and does not leave time for me to fish. But I appreciate the information and I will adjust and adapt accordingly thank you very much
I fish the upper parts of Cherokee from the Holston River to just south of Poor Valley Creek and I have had luck with the wacky rigged Senkos and some Texas Rigged soft baits. Haven't had much luck getting them to bite on the hard baits yet, so I would start out with the soft baits first.

I have 4 Sharkey III, bought 4 more for gifts, they all are very smooth, cast great. All are 3-4 years old now and never had a problem with any of them. One of the best brake systems I've seen on a spinning reel. Keep fishing. DEEJAY
Yeah, the brake system on them is great compared to the really high dollar stuff out there.

I just bought a Kastking Speed Demon that is 10.5:1 ratio and a Lews med-hvy 7'2" rod for flipping into the brush. It's the fastest reel I have seen and seems very strong and durable. The $115.00 price tag was amazing.

Bass Pro has those rod holders for cars that put the rods inside the car on the roof liner. $22.00 If you don't mind driving with them running the inside of the car above your head.

A quick rule of the thumb is dark colored worms in muddy waters and light colored worms in clear water. I stock my box with the watermelons, green pumpkins, and the black/blues with flake.

Good News, Bass Pro bought up Gander Mtn and will run it as a division like Cabelas.
