I took a trip below the dam this past weekend looking for some big brownfish but with the (new) high flows TVA was running it pushed the bait and bass out of their regular places and screwed us up. We salvaged the trip with the always popular in my boat Foley spoons and had fun catching some of...
You should be able to net them around Wolftever bridge right now, or even Nickajack dam.
The skipjack are running at Chic dam as well which are a better bait in my opinion.
Dang some friend you are! I mean, hes stopped smoking and all, but to call him a Chic Hog is a bit extreme just cause he put a little bit of smoking gut on....
The fish is nice though!
Stripe do not get anywhere near that big, stripers however do. They will eat virtually anything they can catch when they get into the skinny waters up there, ESPECIALLY the stocker rainbow trout.
