Gregory Smith

Member since July 2022 Harrison, United States
Background
I am a Ph.D. Research Marine Biologist with over 40+ years of fishing, boating, and research experience. I have been successfully fishing oceans, lakes, and rivers all over the world and here in Tennessee for the past 5 years.
Techniques
One of my favorite fishing techniques involves trolling with planer boards with both live and artificial baits. I find that this method produces a better quantity, quality, and variety of species. Generally it allows me to have up to 6 simultaneous bait presentations which means more fish in the boat for you!! When the situation calls for it, I also rely upon jigging and casting strategies.

We took our fish at 15-20 foot depths on this hot July day. Most were taken by trolling crankbaits at 1.5 - 1.7 mph. In addition to those caught, several big fish were lost before they could be boated.

The early morning bite was almost non-existent, but the fish turned on (unexpectedly) about noon. Surface water temperature was 87-88 degrees and all fish were taken at 16-22 foot depths over deeper bottoms.
