Lovin Chattanooga, looking for some good fishing

[Slaw901]

My family and I recently moved from West TN to Chattanooga. I have already done some fishing at Chickamauga dam but haven't had much luck there. I'm hoping that I can pick up some advice from those that have more experience locally.

Do you own a boat or bank fish?

 

[Slaw901]

Unfortunately right now I can only bank fish.

I'd say your best shot right now is early below the railroad bridge from the bank.

I agree. It's probably really good down there at first light. Once fall sets in, it can be really fun down there! </p>

The rip rap above the dam is always good this time of year when they're pulling water

Out of curiousity, offshore, above the dam along the rip rap bank, what are you talking about catching?

About the only place a bank fisherman is on an equal footing with a boat fisherman is in the tailrace of dams. When water is running (current present), fishing is at its best.
