Tough for bank fishing right now but any evening put some tight lines out in the deepest water you can find and I’m sure you won’t be disappointed in the catfishing in the Tn River

I live about 50 miles west on the Tn River and fish wheeler a lot so to answer your question I will just say this River offers up great fishing for multiple species large catfish , Great bass fishing large and small mouth,, stripes around the dam locks crappie and bluegill in abundance so I guess we all need to know something about like do you have a boat or will you bank fish also what you like to fish for usually you can stand around any boat launch and get a lot of info from the locals as they are at the dock or the local bait shop might be some help

I used to hit several Little ponds scattered around base when I got off work they are everywhere

Definitely get familiar with eufaula grew up in ozark worked at Rucker as a flight mechanic in the 80s there used to be a great fishing lake on base but haven’t been on base in years and don’t know the status of the lake but the are a lot of fishing ponds scattered around the area I suggest goggle maps and find them

I recently took my 30 month old granddaughter on her first fishing trip knowing how easily she is distracted I unloaded everything out of boat except for 1 bream buster and a dozen minnows with the expectation of taking her to one of my slab crappie holes and getting one on the hook for her well they were stubborn and could only manage a few stragglers over an hour and a half so she was distracted right up until a fingerling bass Maybe 6 inches long got on the hook when I handed her that pole watching her wrestling that little bass for the next 20 seconds was probably the happiest time in my life when she finally got it in the boat by herself she was just shaking with excitement we looked at it and released it truly not a better feeling in life sorry no pics from this trip but there will be in future I know I suck with no pics but I really want to save that for when she does it ALL by herself because that will truly be her first fish

Yep 4 inch is a common size for them here

Sorry Sam her loving master

You got it wrong the dog loves to fish and just gets overwhelmed with excitement and wants to help his loving master get those darn fish in the boat

Actually I have 3 different trim switches and I believe mine is at the pump itself because it’s the same no matter which one you use first but once it goes no more problems rest of the trip

Same motor same problem got a cruddy connection somewhere I just keep bumping mine up then down and it goes to working guess I will figure it out when it just flat quits 🤷

A suspected Covid-19 male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student female nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.
"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"
Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."
He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"
Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and
pulls back the covers.
She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles gently in the other.
She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."
The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly,
"Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very,
very, closely:
"Are - my - test - results - back?"

My fishing buddy Bebo shared this tale of when he took his wife to the mountains for the weekend. And Bebo never missing an opportunity to wet a hook looked forward to slipping out early while the wife slept and getting some stream time in well as it turned out the weather tanked and Bebo woke up to chattering teeth and seeing his Breath in the faint cabin light so he thought about how to get his wife up to light the fire while he stayed warm in bed then he had a brainstorm and woke her up and says
Baby why don’t we tell rhymes and the one with the best rhyme stays warm in bed while the other lights the fire. She thought for a second still half asleep but agreed So Bebo says I’ll go first and proudly says “ 3+3 is 6 and 6+3 is 9 I can put mine in yours but you can’t put yours in mine. Bertha his wife smiled and responded that yes 3+3was 6 and that 6+3 was 9 and I know the length of yours but you don’t know the depth of mine and would you put on a pot of coffee while your up

From one old fart to another very well said and how true

Had me right up until the corn got ungrounded lmao

I agree with dolphin 60 just use mine for nav and depth in unfamiliar water I also haven’t found the button to tel me what bait,, retrieve speed or any other nifty tricks to catch fish I fish in a long slew off main river that’s covered up with fallen trees on both sides so fish are there just got to hook em no electronics can do that for you
