    The John Day river here in Oregon. I like some of the deaper holes on this river. They dredged it for gold in the old days and it left behind some nice pools. Another place I like to fish is the coast of outside of Lincoln City, Oregon.

    Best part of deep water fishing is watching the other folks leaning over the rails chum'n for top feeders.

    JimmyBoss, I have caught a lot of crappie and stripper in Lake Guntersville. That was a long time ago, before I got into Bass fishing. My brother tells me they are catching a lot of Strippers in Smith Lake, in Cullman County (Ala) now. He has caught some 25 pounders. Smith Lake is a HUGH lake that you may want to check on.

    Thanks---Peabo

    Peabo,
    We caught rockfish(stripper) down below Cheatham dam that go over 35pnds and here on Old Hickory 40+ up near the steam plant. I try to make it to Guntersville at least 2 a year and fish the Goose Pond area. I love rat fishing and pulling a senko off the edages of the grass mats.
    How about the spots down there? I have heard some rumors of big spots going 5-6+pnds[:0].

    Jimmyboss, I haven't even thought about Old Hickory in a long while !
    A friend of mine, his family and my family went up there on a picnic one day and he was going to show me a new rod and reel that he had just bought. He put a lure on it because he couldn't check it out without some kind of weight on it. On about the third cast, a game warden came up and asked for his license. He told him that he was just checking out his new rod and reel and was not really fishing. The game warden asked what he had on the end of the line. Well, it was a lure designed to catch fish ---- got a ticket for fishing without a license. We both lived in Smyrna and didn't have a license because we always fished on Sewart AFB and didn't need a license to fish there.
    When I was a kid, my step-father would schedule a crappie fishing trip every spring. We would usually fish at Brown's Creek area or at the hwy 69 causeway going into Guntersville. Occassionally we would fish on the high side of Guntersville dam for strippers. I saw the biggest catfish of my life hanging from a fence post. That was below the dam. Looked to weigh at least 100 pounds.[:0]
    I'll stop rambling now and see if I can think up some more lies ![:D]

    Thanks---Peabo

    Where the Mississippi river empties into the Gulf of Mexico is in Venice, Louisiana. We have anchored in one place and caught sac-a-lait (crappie), bass, very large stripers, rod breaking redfish, and absolutely huge speckled trout! There are several more species such as flounder, croaker, the largest catfish I've ever seen, and white trout etc...

    Right off shore can be found the best of North America's "Blue Water" biggies such as tuna, marlin, swordfish and dolphin etc..

    Just about every time we run into visitors down there, they are amazed that more people don't know about this paradise. They cannot believe how many freshwater and saltwater fish can be legally taken each day! And, most guides can fill your limits.

    I have no relationship in any way or fashion with anyone in the industry. Just would like ya'll to come-n-experience paradise at least once before you die. Katrina treated the people and houses down there pretty harshly but, the fishing is unreal right now!

    *, La. has some awesome fishing. The "big freeze" in Galveston Bay years ago, changed all the limits on sport fish, while putting a lot of guides out of biz. LA. still has liberal limits, and plenty of great fish to fill them.

    ...Some of the best red snapper fishing I have done, was out of Cameron LA. I have to agree with you that LA. has some of the best saltwater fishing to be found, and what your tag line says on your state plates, is true...[;)]

    Cameron Parish is directly right under us, they really got whooped by Rita. I concur on the Louisiana red snapper fishin, I've fished Alabama and Florida. Neither one cuts it close to our coastal fishing, however, Alabama was better then Florida. I drove my cuz down to a heliport not to far from Grand Isle last week, I just wanted to pull over and fish off the road.

    I'm extremely fortunate to have the Red River minutes away...I don't know of many other bodies of water that can give you the variety and size of fish that we have... The best part is you never really know whats on the other end of the line until you bring it in!!!!

    Lake Fork has WAY too much pressure. I'm from Texas and a devout bass fisherman....BUT I'd take a quiet day in trout stream in northern New Mexico up in the mountains south of Taos ANYDAY of the week.

    Florida Keys, any of em. Port Canaveral for offshore runs and Crystal River for keeping close and occassional scalloping.

    As I get older, the choice is simple...next to my family.

    Location does not matter to me. As long as it's a warm summer night of fishing catfish with good firends and a cooler of frosty beers. I've had many uh late night with my old buds sitting around the pond telling stories and fishing for catfish. Ahhhhhh, those were the days. [^]
