Put in at Riverpark. 84 water temp. Started at rip rap about 100 yds. from ramp with topwater. Minnow activity, no bites. Downstream, 3# off wood with Trick worm, green pumpkin. Next was a short on wacky rig, attached with o-ring and "nail" weight. That is a #6, 1/2" sheet metal screw . The pack has 31 pcs.. Third was another 3#, on the wacky. All three caught on downstream side of barge bulwarks or metal retaining walls. Worked to Moccasin bend. Fished I-24 rip rap. Several tap-tap playmates, but nothing hooked. Current was now 1.2 mph. Quit around 1, got pretty warm.

Thank you for the report, reports are one of the main things the forum needs. Your report is timely because I haven't been able to get out but was thinking of trying Riverpark when I can rather than super jam packed Chickamauga. Good report, at least you got some quality fish, when I get to go Riverpark it will be

Id always rather fish below the dam, the gorge is my fav, get a nice mix bag of spots, largemouth and smallmouth
