Chick, what do you think?

[Shark]

Thanks to everyone here; for posting so such information. It would take me a very long time to gather that much about the Chick. I have a bad memory so I rely on my eyes to help. What I mean by that is - I'll be coping, cutting and pasting all this valuable info onto a word document and then edit the info and print it. Next step will be to laminate it and keep it with my fishing tackle and have it as a reference while fishing the Chick and the Hiawassee river - An instance on the water guide. emoCool

If anyone has an objection to me printing thier advice, please let me know and I'll delete the info from the document. IF.... anyone is thinking I won't delete it, I will do it and email the final product to them as proof. In fact - Anyone wanting a copy for use on the water can have one too, just PM me your email and I'll get it to ya when it's ready.

P.S. This document will be for my personal use only!!! Not for posting on other sites or given to others outside of the CFF family.

Hats off to the local pros for helping newbies to Tenn fishing.

Thank you,
Steve B.

Great Post Jmax. First of all we are very fortunate to have such great fishing in our back yards. I no this may sound weird but the chick reminds me alot of the gulf of mexico. When I lived in florida and was Grouper crazy the rule of thum applied 90% of the legal grouper caught inside the 10mile offshore mark were caught by 10% of the fisherman. Most rec fisherman didnt have the boat to run 40-60 miles offshore. You need to no where to go to find the structure, if you had a small reef that nobody new about or didnt get fished much you could load the boat. If you fished the marked reefs you would get bit but it was alot harder to put big fish in the boat. THe gulf is miles and miles of sand bottom, then all of a sudden there is a reef, or rockpile, and there are your fish. Like you said the chick has alot of bottomless features and bam there is a rockpile, or brushpile, and there are some fish there. I firmly believe the chick is very similair especially when the fish go deep. I watched a boat last summer pull up to a spot make 5 cast catch 3 fish and then move on, stop a little ways off and do the same thing. I was fishing that same area catching nothing scratching my head. Those guys new exactly were to throw. Who ever that was they new something was down there that held fish. How many times have we seen 14ft john boats driving around full of brush. They are not just doing yard work. The few spots I found last summer that i felt like I could go and catch fish most days were brush piles,rock piles, or like you said drops, and creek channels. I found them by mistake, or was showed them. They concentrated fish and most didnt no about them. THanks for the great post. THis lake is definitely one of those lakes too consistenly catch big bags, you need to no where to go, what to do, and when to do it
