Davis brought the Joy Seekers from First Baptist Church in West Memphis, Arkansas, for a full Southern Pearl of a Tour at TN River Freshwater Pearl Museum, Tour & Pearl Jewelry Showroom. It was a mystery tour for the group, a complete surprise! They were treated to a delicious catered meal from the Birdsong Restaurant. Afterwards, Diver John Nerren demonstrated the birth of the pearl from the Tennessee freshwater mussel. Everyone had a great time! Come back to see us soon!

Fishing on Beautiful Kentucky Lake

girlfishThe Tennessee River lakes are home to more than 100 main species of fish, about 20 of which are caught regularly. These lakes, especially Kentucky Lake, are justifiably famous for crappie, bluegill, catfish, stripers, sauger, and largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass.

Artificial fish attractors – everything from old tires to great brush piles to stake beds – have been constructed in nearly all major creeks holding at least 10 feet of water. The attractors create a habitat for small fish; the small fish in turn lure the larger ones. A study conducted in Kentucky Lake by fishery biologists revealed that one acre of brush in a fish attractor averaged nearly 3,000 bluegill, 1,500 crappie, 580 catfish, and two largemouth bass.
