Middle TN Streams Report

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:07:20 -0400

Fishing Tuesday was tough. Doug and I started at 6 and were out of the water by noon. The fish were not very active in the morning. I threw Case magic Sticks and Jacks worms almost dead sticking them and sometimes twitching with a very slow reel. The fish that did hit would hammer the baits and provide for some great excitement and aerial shows. Doug ended the morning with a 16-incher that slammed a X-Rap. Wish we could have stayed for the evening bite. Some days are better than others. Our Streams will only get better through October so get out and enjoy them. If you want to learn more about our Middle TN Streams feel free to call I am booking October now and limited dates in September.

Porcupine Fish Attractor

Wed, 20 Feb 2008 11:21:25 -0500

How many times have you been on the lake and just by chance found an old sunken tree that someone planted that you couldn't see? Chances are depending on the season, and if you didn't get hung up in it, you may very well have caught any number of species of fish out of it. Of course the Key Word are "If You Didn't Get Hung Up In It". Right? Planting structure has long since been a key way for Bass, Crappie, Shell Cracker and Blue Gill fishermen to increase their catch potential. In past years the structure of choice many times was a discarded Christmas tree, which definitely will attract fish. But they are hard to transport in your boat and because of their buoyancy and depending on the size of the tree took a lot of weight to secure them to the bottom of the lake. Then, someone thought of using PVC pipe which was a great idea. The PVC helped eliminate having your bait hung up but to get the attractor to resemble a "Tree" or a "Bush it took several different size of pipe and multiple elbows and t's. And depending on the size a bigger chunk of something to hold it down. Then a gentleman (and Crappie fanatic) named Larry Harper helped improved on the PVC idea to create what I believe to be the best attractor on the market today. The Porcupine Fish Attractor. Let me explain how the Porcupine works and what it is.
