While practicing for a tournament I got on some walleye this week. I have been catching them on a sexy shad KVD deep diving crank. They seem to be hold around 8 to 12 feet on points with small rock. Good luck.

Forgot to mention.....on Norris lake.

Well the area lakes are trashed and last nights cold spell didn't help matters much. Only ramp you can launch on on Priest is Hamilton creek.

Old Hickory is very murky to muddy and the fishing slowed way down from a week ago. Hopefully with temps on the rise and dryer weather on the way things will get back to normal a little. I think there might be one more wave of spawners on Old Hickory and that's going to be it. They've just about done their business for the year.

Time for the bluegill spawn and bluegill colored crankbaits, this gets good when the temps approach 70 and we're almost there.

Topwater time is just about here also, my favorite bite of the year.

Nothing better than seeing a bass come up and hit a buzz bait, frog, or a popper!

I'm going fishing tomm at Percy priest dam, for catfish, and possibly striped bass. Anyone done any fishing there that might have some suggestions? I might try some trout fishing there as well.

Chicken Liver and corn. Shrimp will work but the cats will like the liver. Haven't been fishing down below Priest for trout, but cats like liver anywhere you go and trout will eat corn or flies if you do that.

You might think about taking a trip below the Old Hickory Dam when it gets good and hot. We run up to the boils and drift back with 3 way swivels, big piece of liver, 1 ounce weight or larger depending on how many generators they have on. We normally do pretty good down there. 40 cat days aren't uncommon when they have at least two generators running.

You can catch them from the bank but you'll do better on the Hendersonville side.

I think we're about to get into a dryer spell, lakes should stabilize and warm up nicely. If you're thinking about getting out with your family or child the next 4 weeks will be about the best fishing this spring will have to offer. Something to think about.

Anybody know how Ky lake looks? I thought about hooking up and going tues but wasn't sure if I should hold off until next week. I know the Austin Peay tourny got moved back bc the water was still high, or thats what I was told at least.

Since my tournament on Guntersville got cancelled, we got out on Old Hickory yesterday. Water was murky water temp 65 in most spots. We quickly picked up a limit of bass in the 9-11 pound range. Caught around 20 for the day, biggest going around 3 pounds. All coming out of water ranging from 3-8ft. We caught a couple on plastics , but we did most of our damage on shallow running squarebill crankbaits.

We also got into a huge school of white bass, we probably caught 50 or 60 in about a hours time. Caught them until we got tired of catching them. Great day out there and if you haven't got out yet this year now is the time to go.

I'm going surf fishing for the first time in a month. Going down to Seaside, Florida (near Destin). I just bought a bunch of gear on the Bass Pro Shops website.
I've never done it before, but I've got big circle hooks for some shark fishing, as well as bottom rigs for when I just want to catch some Whiting.
Anyone with any experience/tips?

We catch a dogfish every few years, just "lucky" if you call it that.

Boat motor took a crap , in the shop for a rebuild, too many long runs up the lake i guess. Time to gear up for some night fishing at the golf course ponds for a couple weeks until i get it back, kind of sucks.

Sounds good, i bet the bite on Barkley is pretty good right now. I haven't talk to my friend who fishes Kentucky lake all the time. I need to give him a call as well.

I should get my boat back by the end of next week. I'm getting ready to take me a trip to Guntersville as soon as it's done. Grass and Spro frogs, good times.:yes::yes:

I think were going to hit main points ledges with 6xd crankbaits and carolina rigs. We are going at 1 in the evening tmmrw. I'll post as soon as I get back and if there are any pics worth posting I will post them.

Very cool to see all these names like Old Hickory, Percy Priest, and Hermitage. I used to live in the Southfork neighborhood off of Old Hickory Boulevard between Hermitage and Lakewood, and adjacent to Food Lion.

Yeah i have a few customers in Southfork. I lived here when there wasn't a Southfork or a Food Lion, just a big field and one barn. Times have definitely changed the look of the area.
