This weekend i had the opportunity to fish with Ryan Lawrence. Ryan is a pro angler with B’n’M poles and is an all around great guy. We put in at 630 Saturday morning and fished until lunch up and down through the downtown Nashville area. I have never had much luck for catfish on the river in the past and after this weekend I know why. Our first three fish were over the 34 inch trophy regulation! One really big blue and two 20+ flatheads.

I learned that I was fishing in the wrong areas and was in fact using the wrong bait. More to follow in Mid West Outdoors and Mid South Hunting and Fishing News!

We loaded up the Hummer and made yet another trek to Scottsboro Alabama . I have always had a soft spot for this small southern town with all its charm, and proximity to Lake Guntersville. Its the kind of place you just can’t help but fall in love with.

Normally we are down there on some kind of fishing adventure, but this trip was all about bird hunting. Since it was only a two day excursion we didn’t take the camper. We booked one of the new cabins in Jackson County Park. It appears that we have been missing out as these cabins are very plush.

The Master bedroom had a very comfortable queen bed, television, closet, and lamp. A very spacious and comfortable room.

The second bedroom had the same queen bed and a pair of bunk beds. This room will sleep 4 comfortably.

The living room is both large and comfortable. Add in the fireplace and big screen television and its home away from home. A leather couch and love seat added to the rustic feel of the cabin.

The kitchen was surprisingly large and fully equipped with dishes, pots, pans, coffee maker, and electric can opener.

The park has a top notch boat ramp and marina, kayak rental, and the best food in the area can be found right in the park at KC’s BBQ.

Make sure you check out these cabins on your next trip to the Scottsboro area. You will not be disappointed. If you are fishing a tournament not only can you sleep 7-8 people, but they have outlets on the outside for boat charging.

I know I wont be pulling a camper down and going through all the set up and tear down ever again. These cabins are turn key and ready for you to just relax.

Priest is fishing well as of late. The crappie are back on Brushpiles and willing to eat again. BnM double minnow rigs have been producing limits of good fish.

The bass are holding mid depth, early and late have been the better times. Mid depth crankbaits and soft plastics have been key.

The night time hybrid and striper bite is getting fired up and is expected to continue through July.

Catfishing has been slow due to the spawn but the channels have been biting well. Flatheads and blues are the shallows but will be slow to bite until then spawn ends.
