Has Chick turned on again?

[rmac54923]

No reports on Chick since the last CFF in early October. I have made 2 trips to try froggin and been stumped both times. Last time there was new grass following the draw down but still no fish. I mainly have been from Sale creek to Dayton. Am I in the wrong section or is the fishing just that bad? Just want a frog fish! Thanks.

If I was dead set on fishing grass for a frog bite I would go to Guntersville . The water level stays close to the same all year there

Since the loss of large mouth mega- school's, there's just not enough bass up shallow to inhabit whatever vegitation that's available, which is now at a premium unless you are fishing up above Richland Creek. You have to cover a huge amount of water to scratch out a few good bites. Many now believe that with all the tournament out of Richland, most bass being transported up river and are in that part of the lake. I can't verify that but I do believe it is somewhat true. All I know for now is you have to put in a lot of hard work and effort to do reasonably well on the Chick. It's close to being 'fished out'! imo
