Norris Lake

You're not alone. Only thing I ever catch is a buzz.

 

I have no discernible skill as a fisherman either, but I sure do love it.

 

I'm game for a fishing trip.

Thermocline can be found on a good depth finder.

I'll teach a walleye 101 class. I can't give away all my secrets though. You'll think I'm crazy for fishing some of the places I fish, but I'm not psycho.

 

Hit me up when we have an 8th golf tourney. If I go a fishin' I'm merely there to provide comedic responsibility and to make others feel more adequate. Much like I did in the locker room.

 

The world needs ditch diggers, too NY.

I am the ditch digger when it comes to golf. Back won't take it.

 

I have two goals when it comes to fishing. 1.) Get drunk enough that I don't remember how bad I suck. 2.) Don't drown.

 

That's a win win where I come from.

 

Haven't drowned yet and I don't remember getting home most times. I call that a successful fishing trip.

 

I would enjoy this. The only walleye I've ever caught has been by accident.

 

Would be cool. Set it up. Trolling season is in the summer only. Lake levels of 1015-1012 are optimal.

 

I would like to try and figure out the crappie there too.

I've fished all over the Tennessee River, Priest and Reelfoot for them, but Norris is a whole different animal.

 

I got nothing on crappie. Only fished for them a couple of times. After I tasted walleye, all other endeavors seemed fruitless despite crappie being a fine tasting fish.

 

And I would love about a 6 lb smallmouth as office decoration

 

I've got a pontoon, and have been thinking about getting a light rig to go out one night.......JayVols is in.....anyone else?

 

I have 3 weddings I have to go to in the month of June so those weekends are shot all to hell.

Other than that, give me a time and place

 

Really wish I were in Tennessee this summer, but I got a teaching gig in Denver and the economy is too sucky to get picky.

My best fish skills are for the Pacific Northwest, anyway.

 

North Fork of the Holston. Just don't eat it.

 

That would be going on the wall. I would warn the taxidermist.

 

Float and fly with a medium minnow has drug many lunkers outta there.

 

Oh, and I'm off till the end of July. I just have a clogging trip to Charleston the last weekend of June and a family beach trip the middle of July.
