First of all I surely didnt mean to upset anyone just new to the catfishing game started watching Catfishing America heard about this website and that 'catfish candy' started a new thread and o'boy.I had no plans of robbing Tenn of there skip jack population,just looking for a few until it warms up.Then i can get in my jeep hook up my boat and drive about 2 miles down on the Ohio and catch some Kentucky skip jack. Where the fishing is good and the people are even better.So when it warms up alittle and you boys need that 'catfish candy' come on down or up and spend that out of state money in Kentucky .And thanks to Leroy Wilkerson who saved me a trip to Tenn,where it sounds like i'm not welcomed.P.S I still like Bruce Pearl.Thank You and have a great day. Aaron

Arron anytime you have a feel to go try for some skips in tn just give me a shout and we will do our level best to get yo8u some and make you feel welcome. One person doesn't speak for us all and I don't know who posted to you on this and don't think I need to know.
You boys come on over to east tennessee. I'll help you catch them next month they will be running below the dams here. Long as you don't stop in wartburg where the city fathers dont want the traffic. You will be welcome everywhere else.
aaron just let me know when i like to bring them skips back to north an south carolina have frezer will travel besides i dont think its posable to hurt the popalation of them things with a poll more than that die of old age but some people cant catch them anyways :wink::wink::wink:
Well I grew up in middle Tennessee and now live in Western Kentucky. I thought that everybody had skipjacks until reading on here about how hard some were finding it to catch skipjacks. I guess I'm just kinda spoiled. We can catch skipjacks just about anywhere we throw out a line with jigs. We dont even have to drive to the steamplant or the dams. We just go to the lake and cast out and catch them . They are everywhere here. I dont think that the skipjack population is in any danger. We usually catch just enough to fish with and after we have enough we just throw them back or stop fishing for them. They sure are fun to catch. Now I am ready to catch a monster Flathead on a skipjack. Most of mine have come from Bluegils...but they are harder to catch right now than skipjacks are. Well good luck fishing to all!!!:smile2:
