New Member/New Fisher. Need Advice

[theck4291]

Just recently purchased my father in laws 1973 Fiberform 22' Cabin Cruiser Sterndrive with a chevy inline straight 6. By random luck found Whispering Coves Marina in friendsville and started fishing just the other day between my slip there and Tellico Dam. Fishing for anything I can catch, but so far no luck. Newer to the area and didn't realize the river got to over 80ft deep in some places! Looking for all the tips and advice I can get as I am a novice fisherman with only pond fishing experience.

You seem to have a depth finder but does it mark fish? If you're gonna continue fishing deeper water, I'd invest in some spoons.

Yes it does mark fish, and is ALWAYS marking schools of fish, anywhere from 10 feet to 65 feet and everywhere in between. Actually bought one spoon today to try out and I think its a casting spoon? Is that what I should try or is there something else? Thanks again!
