Everybody complains about boats idling and casting torwArds them. Some of y'all need to see how the pros fish offshore community holes they'll be 3-4 lined up rubbing rub rails casting at the same spot. It's ledge season chickamauga isn't like Kentucky or pickwick with miles and miles of productive ledges there 5-7 good places they get on and there obvious places that 90% of the people on the lake know about. It's just funny how all these guys complain about people fishing close to them when there more than likely fishing a major community hole. If you don't like fishing close to people take up golf or tennis
X2 everyone says I'm tired of people fishing "OUR" lake. It's everyone's lake and everyone has a right to fish it. Some of y'all complain just to hear yourselves talk. There plenty of room at the golf course for y'all griping about the oressure on the lake. Worse than a barber shop hearing women complain and gossip.
Y'all must be the two guys that came in on canecutter and I... I understand a community hole, KVD probably taught you that word when bassmaster came here and you watched it on TV and heard him say it. Fishing a big point or a some sort of structure or a known ledge spot is one thing... Cutting in front of someone by about 20 yards over a random spot of the river is being a douche. And of course it's not "our" lake.. Just like "You" shouldn't feel entitled to come in on a spot someone else is fishing, acting like "you" own the place. It's called courtesy, learn it or one day you will be catching some hands from someone.
Your post comes off as moronic. Neither of them mentioned being okay with cutting someone off or did they bad mouth anyone.... So why would they be catching hands from someone? I know both of them personally and they are both stand up guys who I'm willing to bet can catch their own fish without the need of being rude or in your words being a douche.

I couldn't agree with you more paul. The way those guys on elite series do, is telling everyone that it is ok to pull in on someone and start fishing, when that is not the case. It's not ok. I didn't grow up that way. I don't accept it and I won't tollarate it happening to me. If it's a community hole sit somewhere and watch it till they leave, because you ain't part of the community. Then go fish it.Paul Nichols - 5/17/2016 7:34 PM
+100000 Good fishing means more boats, more boats means more idiots...law of averages. It absolutely blows my mind what people think is "okay" to do on the lake these days. No one owns the lake but if you pull in on top of people with that attitude odds are YOUR part of the problem. Common courtesy is being lost in hunting and fishing these days.
I agree with Paul and bntpolpatrn. These guys that think this is alright are wannabe's. They all want to be big time tournament fishermen. I have nothing against tournaments or the people that fish in them as long as they use common sense and courtesy.

The lake is crowded, it's only gonna get worse before it gets better. Deal with it. As for the idiots, they are everywhere. You are probably setting near one right now. The real issue here with all the traffic and tournaments on the lake isn't the over crowding, it's the 6 or 7 dead fish I see floating at the dayton boat dock after every big tournament. This will get worse as the fish move deeper and these same FLW wannabe's just toss the fish that came out of 20ft of water into the live well with no ice or anything. I myself still am too new at the deep water fishing game to feel comfortable enough to fish a tournament without fully understanding how to properly take care of my catch to insure a safe release. For that reason I'll remain on the sidelines until I know what I'm doing. As for the rest of you practice some respect both with how to treat each other as well as your catch.

Great point about the ice. Doesn't matter how well you recirculate the water in the well or pump fresh water in its still way to warm in the summer. Gotta keep the water cool in the well in the summer time. It would probably help too that the weigh in set up some water tanks, if they don't already, so that the fish aren't stuck in the bag for 10-30min waiting in line.

I agree Rod we were out in the John boat Monday night on a hump and had a big bullet set down 20 yards from us. I can't help but think if we had been in the bass boat they wouldn't have stopped so close. PLEASE respect all boats.

Precisely only Monday-Sunday
Both boats from Georgia. Yeah Georgia is the problem. Today on a freaking Thursday I was fishing a ledge when some of Soddy Daisys finest assholes come and literally drive over my line as I was reeling my crankbait back. Then the douche bags sit on the waypoint I've been fishing for 30 minutes before they even got there. That's okay though the boater whacked his co in the head with. Jig and didn't catch a fish that I saw. And they were looking at me like I had done something wrong. And of course they arrived at 6:37 right on time for the prestigious Thursday night dog fight.

Etiquette, ethics, and respect are three words that are not known by several supposed fisherman on this lake. I grew up fishing here and have been a guide out west for trout and salmon, in the Caribbean for snook, permit, bonefish and tarpon, carolinas offshore and inshore for all species and gave it all up for the largemouth. The strategy, technical aspects, and competitiveness beat all of what I've done in the past. Competing on the famous Santee cooper lakes in SC was never like any of the shenanigans I've seen pulled on this lake. Offshore is one thing because most people are stationary on a hump or trough or channel or whatever it may be, but to cut someone off on a bank where they are obviously moving and fishing up or down a bank is absolutely ridiculous and disrespectful. I have not one single person to point out but the past few years I've been back here fishing for fun, pre-fishing or in a tourney this has happened to me countless times and those who are guilty were most likely not taught those three words I spoke of in the beginning, but should. They are ETIQUETTE, ETHICS, and RESPECT. They will probably help you out in everyday life as well.....
I may be wrong in my thoughts but as great as this forum is it is just as dangerous! So many members so many post and so many pics of big fish brings so many people to the water to catch these fish it is definitely getting dangerous out there. the biggest prob is that with the growing population of people fishing is the number of fish that are being killed and I assure you this prob will grow as well until big fish will be no more. Chickamauga will become a memory of great catches. What has become will soon go away but thats ok keep bragging and keep posting and keep pilling on the honey holes it really great effect on the lake and with all the traffic other lakes are nice and quit calm and producing good fish as well. Keep it fish forume doing a great job. Everyone be safe and keep dodging lures.

internet posts could increase traffic but I have heard plenty of stories of big catches on chickamauga for at least ten years just by word of mouth, not the Internet. If anything all the posts about crowds and tournaments keep me off chickamauga

Bphillips, this forum exists for the express purpose of members making fishing reports and helping other fishermen. Being a recent member and having made 3 posts, it seems a bit presumptuous for you to think that making reports that can only be read by other members is causing a horrible downfall of the lake. I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to attack a great, friendly, helpful forum (of which you chose to join and be a member), but I for one find it mildly offensive and less than helpful in any way. If this continues to be your attitude, maybe you might want to fish all the other lakes that are nice and "quit" calm and producing good fish.

Recently while fishing shallow bays in a tx, during our 1st heat wave, the water was 83 and I had the wrong aerator (double livewells), switched on. I had 3 fish floating sideways so I immediately put my frozen powerade bottles in, added g juice and worked with the fish. took about an hour with frequent checks but I brought them back! You can also freexe g juice mixture in gatorade bottles, take off the cap and add them to your livewell. Avoids bags of ice cubes which don't last long. You can freeze say-6 bottles of g juice and add one every hour. Remember to run your recirc pump only! Otherwise your pumping in warm surface water and defeating the purpose of iceing down the fish! Its more about sufficient oxygen anyway rather than temp. Cooler water only slows them down.
Eric, I believe this bphillips is a close neighbor to you as he discloses his home lake...just glance over your shoulder occasionaly & see if he is observing your record breaking catches,,,, emoApplause ..sounds like a great fisherperson to know with all that experience. Bet he does have quiet trips ALL ALONE due to mouth disease..... emoPoke ............. emoUSA emoGeezerbphillips - 5/22/2016 7:13 AM

20 bags over 20lbs, appears to me some folks ain't bothered much by the traffic. Hardly any traffic on Nickajack at least during the week and also not many 20lb bags!
