I hope you got enough to have a nice fish fry. I Love to eat fish. It's very good for you. It was a nice way to spend good quality time with your son. Thanks for sharing, Your friend, Louise
Good evening Donnie, I love this fishing video ❤It gives me fond memories of fishing with my Dad. I helped fill the freezer with trout, LM Bass, bluegills, crappie and Lake Michigan perch. Also caught blue fish in Maine and Atlantic Bonita (Tuna) in Florida. Praying for you to feel better every day. God bless you with a full recovery soon 🙏🙏🙏
Try some size 10 circle hooks. They can swallow the hook and still get hooked in the corner of the mouth! Caught a couple of bass on Watauga from 3.5 to 7lbs on the size 10 circle hooks using large shiners while fishing for walleye and catfish. The way the circle hooks are designed it greatly reduces the number of gut hooks. But you don’t set the hook like you do with a regular J hook. You either start reeling or use a sweeping motion. Sometimes you can actually feel the hook come out of their stomach and nail them in the side of the mouth! Nice catches!
Night fishing looks like fun never night fish but have been fishing usually I never catch a fish it gets frustrating takes patience but it's worth it so much fun
I had never been night fishing - didn't know at all what it was about until now! Seems like a more enjoyable way to fish in the heat of the summer. Not hot, not soaked in sunscreen, not swarmed by mosquitos (I'd hope!) Funny thing about fishing. I remember fishing with my Dad when I was young; I always felt like things didn't happen fast enough. Once I got older, I found it was one of the few things that happen slow enough.
I was raised and still fish norris grew up camping on point 19 and beach island and jump off tho old rattling bridge in blackfox crappie and walleye are the best eating raised on it great video as always uncle Donnie 😆
I live up the river (Clinch) from you , just the other side of the Virginia line . We don't get many Crappie up here , but we do have some pretty good Walleye fishing . Lots of nice Smallmouth . Always wanted to fish on Norris , but never knew anyone familiar with it . I have fished Douglas a few times . Enjoyed your video .
Thank you friend. Norris is a big lake, but it can be very good fishing at times. I haven't got to do as much as I would like fishing this year. Spring is the best for crappie. Summer night fishing is really great in the right spots. Thanks for sharing.
I know you remember me always commenting on your mining videos love your videos keep em up don't know where you live at but I live in jacksboro and we I go to the hatchery up the valley towards speedwell tn I use baby shad or minos and catch probably 5 to 12 crappie a day there depending on how they're biting keep up the good work love your channel and hope to see more mining and fishing videos I'm crazy bout both👍👍👍
Home sweet home. We dock our boat at straight creek BD . We love Norris lake. My husband loves fishing for crappy and walleye. He has caught a lot of fish. He caught a huge walleye near straight creek biggest one I ever saw and also a huge catfish that dragged him in our 20 ft pontoon but he got it.
Hey Donnie. Did you see the spider at 5:41 climbing up your left side on your britches along your front pocket? Watched several times and this is the first time I noticed it.
What area of the lake do you recommend fishing the first week of June? I am coming down that week and want to take my nephews out to catch some fish. Doesn't matter what type of fish they just want to go out and I want them to catch!
Does not really matter my friend. If you are from the banks fish the coves and channels with worms and minnows. If from a boat fish submersed trees for crappie. As for bass they are nesting now, but will be off the nest by June. Nighttime fishing will be heating up at that time too. Just have fun my friend. Stay safe.
We will be from a boat and will launch from the Norris Dam Marina as we are staying at the Norris Dam State Park. Thank you for the reply! Tight lines!!
Right now due to the 85+ water surface temps thy are most suspended in the deep creek channels, but you can find them deep sunken trees on the main channel at day break till the sun gets up. Now night fishing with lights in channel is best. They will be 20-30 feet deep around the schools of shad they follow. Hope that helps my friend.
Praying for Donnie Laws to heal! Playing the Playlist♥🙏 God bless all!
Of course, enjoyed, good to see
Father and son doing stuff together
Awesome my friend. Thanks for sharing this. God bless you.

No I didn't my friend. WOW!
LOL I saw that too. I was waiting for the dancing to start! 😂
Yep I have eaten many stripe.They are just a member of the perch family.
Thanks for sharing this.
I wish my home lake in PA had a minumum size on Crappie those idiots keep 5 inch fish and its legal. Try some Gulp Alive 1 in for your jiggin.
The size limit does help the fish population in end and the fisherman.
Hey we’re y’all set up on a point or in a cove? How deep was it?
Whey do they call it Norris Lake? Anyone know the history?
I think it was named after the designer. Not hold me to that.
any open seats?
Maybe later my friend.

Donnie, are toy fishing over cover? Or just anywhere in the channel?
