    Tomorrow night I am going to catch every channel cat north of the bridge on Kentucky Lake or drink all the beer in Marshall Co trying.

    My ice fishing motto is "if ya can't catch fish, might as well catch a buzz."

    Eh, it won't really be that bad, although there might be an adult beverage or two in the boat. I'm going to try and jug fish and limb line a big creek, which I haven't done in open water before.

    I will surely miss ice fishing.

    So I live a mile from Douglas Dam, have 0 interest in buying a boat, and won't be driving out into the hills to trout fish after work.

    Someone give me some options!

    Drive out into the hills before work?

    That too. The $100 one fly tournament has me interested but I've only got my 5 weight I used with my cousin on Antietam Creek on the way down.

    I'm rolling that shit next year with a 3 weight and small streamers.

    Where are you? If you're south of the Mason I'd think streamers would be a bit much. But definitely not the 5 weight.

    I don't know much about the area, but when I think streamers... I think big honking 2 inch wets, used mostly for salmon. But you might just mean a wet fly? I don't know. The nomenclature kinda varies place to place.

    But I'd do small dry and wets.

    Back home I throw streamers as small as 16 with WF line, not as cool as floating dries but with lower water it's the best bet for big browns.

    Haven't put a line out for trout in Tennessee yet as between work and life I've been too busy, and traffic to the mountains on my days off is obnoxious.

    Might just bring a 12 pack and some bait down below the dam and see what happens

    Governor Scott announced that Florida utility workers get a free fishing license until June 2018.

    I guess that is better than nothing. how much does a fishing license cost in Florida these days? And is that a mega-bundle license you are getting, saltwater and freshwater?

    Saltwater $17.50
    Snook stamp $10.50

    I think my sportsman gold is 105? Scott said we can fish salt and freshwater. I think it's cool.

    Actually had a pretty good night Wednesday night. Was windy before the cold front which made it hard, but we wound up with 11 (I think) keeper channel cats plus a couple of little channels and yellows. Learned a lot, will do it better again sometime.

    Come on. What about the real news? Did you drink half the beer in the state?

    It was a bit cool on the water after dark. Less beer than planned.

    There was a little brown liquor consumed, just to ward off the chill.

    And we only lost 3 jugs!
