[Fff 2011 Final Results]

Congratulations to all the winners, and thanks to all the sponsors I am glad I live in Tennessee, a great place to fish on New Year's Day

[Kingston Tn - Thanks To All The Giving.]

Apparently TVA hasn't ran the steamplant this week. Wish they would put that coal to use and warm the water a bit.

I enjoyed visiting with you Willem. Kingston will fish better if TVA discharges some warm water or we do more chumming over several days.

[Is Someone Having A Birthday Today?]

Happy Birthday Tim. I didn't know that you were that old

[Kingston Tn]

Be careful about where you are boating. This sign used to be standing near the boat ramp that is beside the bridge. The sign has been knocked down but the rules are still in effect. Also, the bank north of the boat ramp is closed to the public during this time.

I will do my best to at least come by to visit on Friday or Saturday. Good Luck!

[What did I get for my 25.00 ? Part 3 of 3]

Great photo-journalism John.

[The fight...]

Nice pictures. How do you deal with the grass growing in the pond?

[Dale Hollow + Patience = REWARDS]

Good work figuring out how to deal with the grass. Congrats on your catches! Beautiful and awesome fish aren't they?

[Life Time Carp Angler]

I am glad there is finally a CAG member in West Tennessee. Sorry to hear that you have found no other carp anglers there. I am looking forward to seeing some more photos of the carp you catch. The Tennessee River system has some big carp in east Tennessee and should have some in Pickwick and Kentucky lakes in west Tennessee. Someone just needs to find them.

[Over 20 Carp, a PB Mirror and....................]

Congrats on your new PB Horace. I am sure that you and Tim have made the rest of the crew jealous after such a great day.

[new record gold fish]

Well the fish pictured in the story is obviously a koi, there is a barbel by its mouth. Goldfish don't have barbels.

[New guy and new water!]

The easiest thing to try is canned sweet corn. Throw out a handful near a swirl and then cast your baited hook nearby the corn you just chummed. If you have a hair rig, put the sweet corn on it, if not put the corn on your hook(size 4 or smaller). Use the amount of split shot necessary for an accurate cast. You should try to use some 12 to 15 lb mono. Leave your spinning reel bail open and watch for line movement. Unfortunately, turtles like sweet corn and infest shallow backwaters . Take a camera and take pictures of anything you catch . Good luck.

[Record bigmouth buffalo for TN]

The Tennessee record for bigmouth buffalo was increased by 10 lbs this spring by an angler on Percy Priest Lake near Nashville. It seems the big buff was probably snagged on a lure but the fish was released alive back in the lake. See story here: http://www.wkrn.com/global/story.asp?s=12376983

[The new Grassie Whisperer (in situ)]

Looks like a beautiful spot and no crowds. Too bad no commons showed up. Nice grasser Brad.

[The men of many patches]

Awesome work Zoomie!

[New PB.............]

Did you have a witness that you caught it? LOL.

[Georgia’s Pay Lake Fish-In…]

Nice turnout. Sounds like several "teachers" did a fine job too! Did any of the bigger carp show up today?

[My BVille trip 2010]

That is tough that you all have to wait til dark to catch in your area. Some of the leaders haven't caught anything since 11 this morning either. But some anglers were scratching a few more out slowly in the daylight. The team with the most weight is nearing 800 lbs.

Anyone chumming with chow?

[Baseball Carpin’]

I am glad to see the Coweta Carper is back also.

That snaggy area will certainly be a great training field. Being tall looks to be an advantage in directing some of those runners home

[25.5 pound common]

WTG. It is nice to read about some carp catching from wild waters in North Carolina.

[Hello from Fugas]

Well, the pictures sure are big.

[Notes from the War Zone]

Great story Zoomie. I will have to come back and read it again for more laughs in the future. Excellent work with those kids.

I used to burn my eyes with sunscreen. Now I use a "sensitive skin" sunblock from Neutrogena and there is no more eye burn. I may look like a zombie but my eyes are not red. Put it on before leaving home and cleanup should be easier.

[Short-courses, bangers, and carp gear buy]

Very nice write up! Thanks for sharing.

[Three days with a “Redcoat”;]

Great write up Captain. You sure know how to make folks feel welcome.

[The BIGTIME at Wallace Dam!!]

Good angling Joe. Hope you catch some more at the fish-in.

[The Golden Ghost Whisperer]

Glad you guys got one. We had thunder and lightening yesterday afternoon. Tell Cool Dad not to be "conjuring" if there is thunder around, something scary might happen.

Good luck with the fish-in. Any idea what the water temperature is there?
