The spillway was definitely spilling a lot better during the spring filming. I would think that would increase your striper chances. The skipjack herring was cool. The hybrid striper spillway you described to the other angler sounds like a sweet spot - don't give up on it!
Cool video and place to fish. That skipjack shad did look like a mini tarpon, and its not an Engineering Hookset video without the Drum catch lol. Keep up the great content.
The guy in the boat is Melton Hill Bill fishing guide... He only releases fish and encourages others to do the same... and he is probably the best Stripper guide in east TN...
You can never get away from the drum😂
Dude this was awesome to see!! Love seeing all the catches on customs man!! And the TN Tarpon cracked me up - another species to your list!
Thanks for the baits, man!

Yeah I follow him on Instagram. He catches a lot, but man, his prices are crazy high.
What time would be the best time for fishing bass and such? I keep going with my dad and brother at like 11am-5am and recently we have caught nothing.
What are the best lures for musky and stripers there
@isaachensley-s8y I don't know, lol. I've only caught 1 striper and no musky in the clinch 😂
What water proof boots/shoes do you wear on your trips?
For bank fishing I usually wear muck boots. For wading I wear non-waterproof NRS backwater
Where is that
Thats gotta be a joke
