Thanks for the “shell” bed explanation. The Tennessee River system is known for shell beds which are VERY different than what you’ve described. TN river shell beds were built over hundreds of years of native Americans shelling muscles out along the original river bank. Some are even ancient burial grounds. When the Tennessee river system was damned up all those beds now exist under the water all along the river channel and even throughout some of the main creeks. Only adding this for another “shell bed” thought because I got off guard by the title and I quickly went to Pickwick lake in my mind where I grew up fishing for smallmouth on shell beds. Don’t get me wrong we’re both talking about shell beds, but they’re just different unless those old Native American ones exist along the original channel.
Greetings Billy, This Lake Fork Shell Bed video was a high quality topic and presentation. Thank you for your renewed effort to put out top shelf “guide stuff” videos about fishing east Texas. We are all enjoying your content and benefitting from your generous efforts. H. Bird
