NCHillbilly, if I can work out a trip to NC, I would love to do that, thanks for the kind offer!
cashvalue, I will keep that in mind when the spring rolls around and I appreciate your advice. Let me know if you need a kayak fishing partner sometime. I haven't had much opportunity to fish with anyone in the year I've had mine.
jigman, from what I understand, the saugers haven't been doing as well in Watts Bar as they would like, so it would seem that they are actually replacing the saugers with walleye, as in they are going to stop stocking the saugers. I may have that wrong though, but that's how I understood it. My dad and his buddy have had some good catches up there lately. His friend's kid caught a five pound smallmouth while crappie fishing at night, and my dad caught a six pound hybrid a few months back while crappie fishing. Apparently there is just every kind of fish in the world in that lake. LOL. In the summer, if you go down to my dad's dock you will see huge carp zipping around. Since I got into carp fishing this year, I definitely want to try for some of those next year when the water warms up.
cracker dave, your idea does sound like a good one to me. Let me know if you need a fishing buddy! LOL. I'm glad you learned something, and I definitely have too. Most of all, it's a good feeling to know I am trying similar tactics to folks that have actually had some success and that I'm not just way off base in how I'm trying to do this. Now if I could just get on some fish that will bite!
