Thread: Spring Break 2022 Finale

The last two days of my Spring Break have been drastically different from the first two. The week started with bank fishing and a few Largemouth Smallmouth and Spotted Bass receiving their lip piercings and photographs, a freaky Goldfish catch, and even the White Bass took time out to play a little. Wednesday was rainy and cold so shopping and a meal over in the Sevierville Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area placated the wife and gave me a chance to get the boat prepped for some end of the week fishing. Thursday morning, dead cranking battery, it has been a little draggy and just wouldn’t take or hold a charge overnight, so time for a new one. I was hoping to receive the remote for my new trolling motor in the mail on Thursday, but no dice.

This new brushless technology is awesome, and Friday was looking perfect for a trial run. Let’s go try this thing out and maybe catch a Crappie in the process.

It didn’t take long to get my first victim, a fat Black fish couldn’t resist the Blue Chrome BGBS on a Daiwa Gekajibin glow jighead. I can’t say enough about this Varivas Avani Saltwater Finesse PE line, touted as the world’s smallest diameter braid, it is an excellent open water cast and retrieve line.

I stuck several keepers and non keepers with this set up, the 7.6 ABU let me know real quick of any interested parties.

Even the Crappie with the Racing Stripes were digging it, such a cool fish and this one had some shoulders on him. I closed the day out on a super nice White Bass, gave me all I wanted on the long stick, and after a quick pic it was time to head home.

A decent haul for my efforts.

And of course as soon as I got home the wife said “Your Remote came in the Mail today.” Oh well another story for another day. Thanks to Russell Marine for all the help and questions answered, a fine board sponsor. After everything was said and done for the week, this weather forecast for the weekend made me frown.

Such weather as this should not be allowed….until next time get out there and fish, something is biting.
