Sunrise on the Clinch Rivet

I would like to know how to post pictures here also, just have my phone, no computer.

I have fished (or enjoyed the peace and tranquility) as early as 3:00 AM. Can't seem to get past 7:00PM as I get tired.

Sorry, but I don't known any Coffeys.

I'm a tea totaler😊

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.

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.

I like to arrive at my favorite hole prior to daylight, I so much enjoy hearing the first bird to chirp, the sun to rise, and ocassionly seeing deer cross the river that i could care less if i catch anything. I am fortunate to fish one of the Premier trout streams in Tennessee. So to answer your question, I much rather the solitude of fishing alone, gives me time to get my mind right..
