Fishing the river wild and free (Nolichucky River)

[@sethrichghost6335]

Seems like more smallmouth today.

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yeah, it was a blast. I think I could’ve caught a ton more if I had better grampus skills.

[@sethrichghost6335]

@@MichaelKaal-TriFisher Two us us had a kayak float trip further down river Friday. I used a small spinner, top water, crawfish lures. - no action Then a Ned Rig. Smallmouth hit the Ned Rig first cast. and they especially liked the Bitsy Tube. 2 guys; over thirty smallmouth landed.

[@LiterallyOverTheHillAdventures]

I am 62 years old and never heard of a Hellgrammite called a grampus....down in my neck of the woods we jokingly call them "gator fleas". Is that a Tennessee thing?

[@MichaelKaal-TriFisher]

Yes, I believe it is an eastern Tennessee thing.

[@BigBaitPosse]
