Thread: long month

what saltwater gear we have is already packed. lodging is bought and paid for. the fishing reports are improving every day. it's gonna be a long time until june 15.

Right there with you. Heading down from Dallas about the same time. Looking forward to hitting the pier for a day or two.

Us too! Heading down on Saturday 5/25for a week, expecting to be on the pier everyday!

same here slowly counting the days until 6/22 until my wife and I can try our luck again for the second time this year. Was down there in march and had good luck with the sheep head. Now I want to put my wife on a big king or jack! Love watching her catch a fish that makes her reel sing! Never seen a woman get so into fishing when she hooks into a big one! When we haft to leave and head back home to TN the timing should be right to put her on some big stripers on the Hiwassee River! So hope we have two weeks of back to back awesome fishing together!

my wife also loves to fish and caught her first king last summer and a big jack.. we may have to give them hiwassee stripers a try this year.

Can't hardly wait myself

And another Tenn bunch will be down 16th to 21 can't wait.See ya'll on the pier

WOW! I never knew that there are so many tennesseans that count down the days until they get to go out on the pier. I told my wife that i wasnt crazy. Ill be down the first week of June.

Yeah if you havent tried fishing for stripers in the hiwassee you need to give it a try! It is the closest thing to catching big saltwater fish! catching a 30 to 40 pound striper in the fast moving current feels like hooking into a hundred pound tuna! My wife got spooled several times last year until she finally landed one then she was hooked!b,jkmbjbmb.jpgj.k.l,jihkh.jpguntitled.jpg This is just a few we landed last year.

CB1983 I have heard that twra has blocked off a big area below the dams due to the danger of the swift water. Have you heard anything on that subject? I go stripe fishing below cordell hull
