Best place to launch from a kayak for them hybrids?
@StriperPursuitАй бұрын
Around end of march to beginning of June they’re anywhere from state park boat launch to all the way up river to 40 bridge. There is a kayak access upriver near the railroad bridge I believe.

@MikeHensley-sc3nsАй бұрын
Was gonna say let them breed unless a gill hook and they won’t make it…. It’s 2 per person… the limit. So This river has 2 types and struggled for a while with the strip. Local here… fishing is better at Fort Loudon.10 minutes away.
@StriperPursuitАй бұрын
Yea, if I can I only keep a limit once a year since those fish ain’t exactly safe to eat often. If I go anymore throughout the year it’s all CnR. Melton is just easier to fish if they’re there.
@TonnyMeckelvaney-ke6voАй бұрын
Great video and I'm sure some good eating... what's the best time of year to catch those Hybrids ? Did you go to Marshall fishing access area then walk down to the water ? And are there any big catfish there or White bass ?

So is anyone going to tell them that down the river there is a sign that says dont eat the fish in those waters due to the funky shit spilling out into it? 😂 Goofy bastards will eat anything 😂😂😂😂😂😂
@StriperPursuit4 ай бұрын
Mostly everyone who fishes there knows that. I’m not local to TN and I know. I’ve spoken to TWRA and from my understanding you’ll be alright if you eat fish that size once a year and have small portions. I share the fish we keep with multiple families and usually only come to TN a few times a year to fish. The smaller ones are much more preferred since they carry less of the toxins but I get what I can get sometimes.
