A Short Fishing Trip Today

South Holston Lake
IMG_2345Doug S. and I got on the lake about 9:00 AM. It was good to be back on the water. The fishing was good and at one point it was fast and furious. We had 3 fish on at the same time. It was difficult with only 2 people to handle the boat and 3 fishing rods at one time. We had our limit of 4 lake trout at 10:10 AM. “What now?” we asked ourselves. Well we changed strategy and started fishing shallower waters but we only caught one more fish before we headed for the ramp around noon. That last fish was a nice 3 1/4 largemouth. We had a nice stringer, which we gave away to some guys at the boat ramp. No really big ones this trip. It got away… seriously.

Knoxville
Beverly and I are heading to Knoxville soon to work on pricing items for the Estate Sale we’ll be having in a couple of weeks at Dad’s house. Anyone got any tips on how to price items? You want things to sell, but you don’t want to just give them away.
