Default Found some..

We went last night and found a bunch in a grassy field next to the river that was flooded, had to get out of the boat with hand helds, but it was fun..

Nice.

I love wading for them. It's a whole different challenge to sneak up on them on foot. Congrats on the catch.

I was looking at the satellite photos of the Clarksville area. Looks like an awesome area. What ramp do you use? It looked like a real nice ramp up-steam of the dam.

There is a nice ramp right above the Dam.. The one just below the dam isnt to good unless you have a big 4x4, but there is one south about 5 miles that is really good at Rip Rap Landing..Plus Rip Rap Landing has some great bowfishing in there sloughs, but it is walking and shooting which we do alot of..
