I’ll be on Douglas working the BFL and seriously doubt i can make it back to Ft pat in time. So I’m probably a no go.

65 lb braid, a couple stout rods with a frog on one and a 1 oz weight and a flipping bait on the other and HOLD ON.

Welcome Kevin.

Congrats guys. I thought shannon and I had a good bag till I saw what y’all dumped in there.

When you come out of the creek onto the main river channel, the spillway is to the left. But it’s a pretty good way down there. There’s good fishing both directions, don’t be afraid to go either way. Check out ft Pat’s generating schedule. It takes 12-14hrs for the water from ft Pat to get down there. You want current in my previous experiences. Right around the mouth of the creek at the river is good both directions. That’s where I usually start at.

I’ve used a combination of what’s Doug’s post says and this video by Jon Henry and have seemed to have good luck. Jamie, I’ll teach you how to fizz, it’s very simple. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Fish_Life_Fizz_Needles_2pk/descpage-FLFZN.html?from=Google&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIuqKx1uSX2wIVksDACh39kQjQEAQYAiABEgLct_D_BwE Order a pack of these. It’s what we use in the BFL’s for fish release. Best one to use.

Amen Wes. I hate to see a fish lost. In 8 BFL tourneys so far this year we have lost 13 fish total. And 9 of those were on Tim’s Ford two weekends ago. It amazes me how many people don’t know how to fizz their fish. I bet during the Cherokee BFL Kirk and I had to fizz 50 fish before we let them go.

We have another southernsam. Lol

Ok guys. Shannon and I are planning on being at the ramp by 5:00. The plan (fog permitting) is to blast of at 6:15 in the morning. Signup will be cut off at 6:00 to accommodate that blastoff time. Look for Shannon’s truck when you come in. There are a few other tourneys going out of Dandridge in the morning, so plan on a clogged up ramp. Everyone needs to get there as early as possible to get paid, draw your number, and get in the water ASAP. Blastoff will be done across from the ramp in the little pocket on the other side of the lake. Everyone be safe driving in and we will see you in the morning.

You mean you’re gonna drag Sam out of his yak long enough to come fish a tourney?
