    Exclamation Y'all Watch These Lakes


    We have a tremendous amount of water coming out of the TN and Cum river valleys. Drift is gonna be BAD!!! If I didn't have to cross the lakes right now I wouldn't.

    Along with the normal trees, I've had buddies reporting everything from 500 gal propane tanks to ATV's floating down the TN river.

    We've been waiting above Cheatham Lock since Christmas day to get enough clearance to get under the Clarksville RR Bridge.

    Hey Wiskers, I was on the Cumberland river near Smithland cat fishing a couple weeks ago, who is this tow boat operator named "Cowboy Carl"

    I've never seen anyone operate a tow boat like this guy did, or maybe he was breaking in a new pilot ??

    I think North Star Marine (Peanut Hollenger) operates that boat.

    What did he do, miss that turn below the bridge?

    He took two and a half hours to make the right turn before the bridge going down river towards the Ohio there at smithland ky

    Funniest thing I've seen in a long time

    it is a nasty turn for sure, he backed up river the whole length of that stretch of the river four times before he made that turn, he did stir up the catfish that's for sure and put a few in the box for us

    it just was funny watching him try to make that turn, I've seen it done hundreds of times but never like that
