For the rockfish: pull the boat aroud to Carthage and put in the river right there in town below the bridge. Catch some big shad at the mouth of the Caney Fork River with a cast net and then run downstream a mile or so and fish the right side. Then rig on a big circle hook and pull out about 8-10' of line, put on a planer board that will run the bait up next to the bank, under the trees. Hold on to your rod real tight and you better use a big rod and 65# braid too, there's freaking hawgs in there. I mean 50lbrs. They're slick too, first thing they'll do is run up near the bank and hang you up. I have a buddy that fishes up there for them a lot. This is the perfect time of year for that. better get there real early though it don't last long

The lakes nice though. It's a good place to go in the middle of the summer. I thought that maybe I might go up there and fish Sunday and fish to get away from some of the morons around here.
