Hello, Ohio Transplant!

[Jammer]

My wife and I have just moved here from Ohio. I fished a lot there, mainly for Catfish and Panfish. I'm surprised at the absence of Catfishing sites in this area. There doesn't seem to be much discussion about it on here either. But then, the fishing shows on TV seldom have any Catfishing programs either, I guess we are second class citizens.
I plan on hitting the river below Nickajack Dam as soon as I get my lower unit back together, it had a small leak and I'm replacing the seals. We live near South Pittsburg and I hope to fish the Nickajack a lot.
I also have a lot of other hobbies like Metalcasting: Iron, Brass, and Aluminum, Letterpress Printing, and CNC Woodwork. Throw in some Photography, Blacksmithing and Amatuer Geology and my time is spent.

We catfishermen aren't a talkative bunch. (except for EricM). Load up on Skips below Nickajack dam and you will be good to go on bait. Get with Spurhunter for some foleys spoons (best bait for tailrace skips)

Thanks, I'll give it a shot!!

You have inadvertently landed in the big-cat capitol of the US. Within a couple hours any direction you have access to world record size blue and flathead cats. Nickajack and G-ville lakes are loaded with them!
