Went sauger fishing today and they had at least 8 gates open. Whats going on? Between that and 20 mph winds, made for a bumpy ride up and down from the dam. Wind blowing straight in the lock and all that current put the troller to the test. Did catch 23 and invited 4 home for dinner.
I've decided they're trying to turn east TN into a desert. Unless they've closed them and I didn't know it, which is possible, there's been some flood gates open continuously for probably 6-8 weeks.
There were mud flats at South Sauty last weekend. I've seen dirt in that area before, but not acres of it like I saw the other day.
I was the last week and they didn't have any open.....looked like they had all the turbins going though.
They must have closed them just to make sure they still worked. :RoflQuote:

I'm glad you caught some. We used to catch a lot of those below nick-a-jack and looked forward forward to the winter months and the sauger run. After they put that 15 inch limit on them it started going down. I thought it was stupid and still do. The only thing you could keep was the big egg laying females. I told the biologist if ya'll were raising kids you would kill the women. I don't think they catch a lot like they used to. I quit fishing for them years ago.
When I was up at Daddy's the first of the week, Nick-a-Jack didn't look all that low. Maybe they are trying to kill some of that grass in Guntersville. I hope it ain't floating every where this spring. I wish it would kill that eel grass and it would wash all the way to New Orleans!Quote:

Being retired I often wake up early and decide to go fishing......next time I wake up at 3am and decide to go, I'll call ya......:RoflQuote:
