With cooler temps in both the air and water the fish are starting to get a little more active. We ventured out to the river this week and caught several nice catfish which made for a really delicious plate of food. The Obed river in Morgan County Tennessee was the hot spot but we are hearing reports that Watts Bar Lake in Roane county is producing some catfish. Over the weekend Brian Bunch and George Seiber hit the water on the Norris lake for some Bass fishing but Brian brought home the treat at the end of the day. He had bagged and I do mean a whole bag of nice fillet size Blue Gill. We have been hearing that several of the river systems in and around Morgan County are starting to produce some nice fish but so far we have only tried the Obed river on the Oakdale end. This coming weekend we will be doing a little more fishing and will be sure to keep you updated on the fishing report. Tennessee fishing, it's the good life !! ~Outdoorsman~ Thu, 02 Sep 2010 06:25:50 GMT http://www.tennoutdoorsman.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=41 Disabled Sportsmen of America (DSA) is proud to announce we will be hosting a youth hunter from Georgia this fall. DSA will be bringing Kaleb Stalling (15, Ringold, GA.) to Tennessee for a Muzzle Loader hunt this November and then back again in January for a Youth hunt. Kaleb is a 15 year old paraplegic who is determined to not let anything stop him from getting back to what he loves. In 1998 on the day before Thanksgiving Kaleb was involved in an Auto Accident which left him paralyzed from the navel down. Prior to his accident he was an avid hunter, fisherman, and was involved in Ti-Kwan-Do. According to his Father James, Kaleb has never complained about anything since the accident. After Talking with James we found out they were having trouble finding a place to hunt in GA. So DSA decided to bring him to the Great State of Tennessee for a hunt. DSA will be covering everything from Lodging, Licenses, and food. We feel it is our duty to provide this young man a place to hunt and some great hunting camaraderie. If you would like to help DSA help Caleb, you can send donations to help offset the cost of the license fees ($251.00) to the Address provided below. All donations are welcomed. We can provide you with a tax receipt if requested. DSA is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring everyone, regardless of disability or illness has the chance to enjoy the great outdoors. Thank You, Jackie Thomas Vice CEO Disabled Sportsmen of America Please send donations to: DSA 709 old Hen Valley Rd Oliver Springs, TN 37840 Fri, 23 Oct 2009 23:52:37 GMT http://www.tennoutdoorsman.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=40 The Coalfield Volunteer Fire Department will be starting their shooting matches back this weekend 10/17/2009. This year they will have the first 4 shoots on Saturdays due to Friday night High School football. Then it will be back to the normal Friday night shoots. They get started around 6-6:30 and will continue as long as they have shooters. They have a variety of prizes including money, hams, steaks, pork loins, rolls of bologna, block cheese, and tons of other meats. All proceeds goes to help fund The CVFD. They do have a concessions stand that has, in my opinion, the best fried bologna sandwich in Morgan county. Shooters can choose from two different classes Stock or Modified. They only shoot 12 ga. and shoot 2-2-10 shells at 35 yards. Stock guns are factory guns with factory chokes (No aftermarket chokes) and the Modified guns can be anything from a custom built gun to a gun using aftermarket chokes. Stock guns can shoot in the Modified class but, Modified can not shoot in the stock class. The shoot is located on Coal Hill Rd. In Coalfield at The CVFD shooting house. If you have never been to their shoots you are missing out, in my opinion they have the best facility, fairest scoring, and best prizes in the area. So grab that old 12 gauge, knock the cob webs off of it, and come win you some meat for the freezer! I look forward to seeing some of you guys out there. Note: I am in no way affiliated with the CVFD, I am just informing the public of a great event! Fri, 16 Oct 2009 19:45:25 GMT http://www.tennoutdoorsman.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=39 Ok folks its getting cooler here in Tennessee and its time to hit the outdoors and start doing some fishing. Most folks go after catfish in the warmer months. While this is ok its not necessarilly the best time to catch catfish. Those heavy weights start hitting in cool weather and thats what we are about to set out for. Starting out we will be fishing the Watts Bar for catfish this weekend 16th and 17th of October. We will post our report back here Monday on our success. As we are able we will fish other areas and make a report on those too. Keep in mind, later in the year when it gets cold outside and the lake seems to be dead, you can rest assured those moneter catfish are just itching for you to toss some cut bait their way. Cut shad is the best way to go just toss it in along a ledge 15-40 ft of water and wait for the big beast to come. So dont rule out cold weather fishing when it comes to catfish, this time of the year may be when you nail that monster youve been looking for.

It amazes me to find out that there are still a lot of people who did not know that TRWA now owns a large portion of Gobey. Gobey located 1.8 miles north of the Wartburg city limits on US 27 and to the right, for years has been a highly popular hunting area and has produced some massive whitetail. For those heading to Gobey during this 2009 season keep in mind you will be on TRWA controlled land. Currently TRWA has all of the property on the left side of the main road coming from highway 27. TDEC owns all of the property on the right side of the road. Both properties join at the top of the mountain near the Bunch Graves. That is another subject as well. Don't be caught messing with the graves as TWRA watches them closely. Tue, 06 Oct 2009 21:33:54 GMT http://www.tennoutdoorsman.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=34 Changes, changes, changes. Over the next few days we will be making lots of changes on the site including new themes and a few new helpful modules. This site has been a slow project but we hope to get it back off the ground and flying once again. Bear with us and we move through these changes, we are sure they will be useful.
