Now if I can find my eye drops.
Wife and I went Saturday afternoon after getting back from Arkansas. I get to the ramp at Watts Bar and people at the ramp were just standing around talking and watching one boat that couldn't load back onto the trailer. I stuck around for 30 minutes waiting and realized I was about 5th in line after the slow guy and more boats coming in. Then I found out what the issue was. Thieves had just hit the ramp parking lot and everybody was waiting for the police to file reports. Some had smashed windows and some had their tires and wheels stolen off their boat trailers. Welcome back to Tennessee. I put my straps back on and went back home.
On a side note...the 8lb brown trout I caught was with it 24 degrees and gusts up to 30 mph, blue bird skies. Had to hold onto my hat to keep it from blowing off my head and continually dip the rod in the water to get the ice out of the guides.

With 20 + mph wind.It's going to be over 70 on Thursday.
Six of my fishing buddies (retired) whacked the crappie yesterday. There was hardly any wind. When my off days roll around it will be North winds at 20MPH. 
I can't wait until I can fish any day the weather is good.

Keeps the crowds at home too. Sometimes, there are so few people fishing the Tn. River when it is cold a man has to wonder: Do live scopes work in cold weather?
It does not keep the crowds home in North MS. Those guys fish year round. I waited in line for 30 minutes to put in a couple weeks ago and it was 30 degrees.
I would say so there is guy from work that chased them all winter long with scope. Catches slabs too.Keeps the crowds at home too. Sometimes, there are so few people fishing the Tn. River when it is cold a man has to wonder: Do live scopes work in cold weather?
I will do it, I didn't buy it to let it set in the garage.
This reminded me of a line I use. It's embarrassing to tell, but my white Xpress has had a mud line on it for at least 2 years. I have a fishing buddy that washes his truck and boat religiously. Every time I see him he gets on me about that mud line and wants to know when I'm going to wash my boat. I always tell him that I didn't buy it to wash. I bought it to fish!
just hollar I'll be glad to go with ya.

Fishing has been excellent for me this winter. I can't recall the last time I've had this good of fishing at this time of the year. I've been catching bass and crappies on the fly rod; bluegills and shellcrackers on small beetle spins with the spinning rod.
