Fishing and Beer

[hikertrash]

Fishing and beer just go together.
However here is the dilemma, as a guy without a boat, or waterfront property, how does one make this happen. All public fishing accesses seem to be alcohol free parks/wma. Am I missing something? Are there locations in TN (Percy Priest?) where a couple of friends can enjoy a sunny afternoon on the shore with some hooks in the water and beers in hand? (responsibly of course)

I don't drink so I don't know and drinking and driving a boat is the same as drinking and a car

Walk in off 840,way down the bank,out of sight.I doubt anyone would bother you,assuming its doesnt turn into a party.

I fish in the harpeth river which is smaller but has some good fishing, I get in anywhere from roadside spots to nature trails owned by the HOA to parks to friends' backyards...I've done 95% of my fishing from the bank. Sometimes the best spots are tough to get to but it's worth it when you get the fish you want.

Having to drink a beer to enjoy fishing?

Being responsible? Sitting on a bank drinking beer? How did you arrive at your destination?

Sounds as if you need to find a buddy with a private pond. imo

i enjoy a good day with few fish and lots of beer

A beer or two on a river bank can't be beat.
Now the ding dongs that down a half gallon of jim beam and leave their trash all over the bank need a swift kick in the a$$.

if i was you i'd find me a private pond to go to. i love drinking beer with a fishing pole in hand but only do it at private ponds and with someone driving me. beer sure as hell aint worth getting a dui over.

nothing wrong with fishing and enjoying a cold beer

I found a spot if anyone was actually interested. Land Between the Lakes allows consumption of alcoholic beverages in your campsite, many of which are lake front. Backcountry campsites will further reduce any problems, just gotta pack 'em in (AND OUT!). A campsite gets also the added bonus of no need for a DD at the end of the day!

For many years I thought fishing and beer went together, also.

I don't think that way at all, now.

x2 as long as they don't leave their beer cans everywhere and they're on the bank
