Tennessee Tarpon and turtles 

A lazy summer evening on the river resulted in a number of Skipjack Herring

The catfisherman should be rejoicing, the Skipjack are back!

This little Skipjack had some gorgeous red fins

My goal was to catch some catfish bait, and halfway through my session a little harmless water snake decided to steal what was left of my bait. I wish more people would take the time to learn how to properly identify snakes, it always makes me sad how many of these poor Northern Water Snakes are killed because people think they are Copperheads

I was watching the cloud to cloud lightning when the drag on my bait rod started screaming

Finally broke my dry streak at the river! First throw with the cast net I had enough bait and within a few minutes of casting out some cut bait I managed a decent drum

I’ve caught my fair share of Skipjack in my life, but this is the first one I have ever had on a lipless crankbait
