I have a buddy that was telling me they were down below Watts Bar, and had caught a bunch of Shell Crackers in the warm water discharge of the WB nuke plant. He said they used berkly maggots(?). I figured some of the shell cracker lovers might want to hear about this. They catch them in there every winter.
 
Thanks! You are so right that we perch jerkers would like to know the shellcrackers are holding at the dam. They are so much fun to catch.emoAngler

Take a number and get in line at that spot. It isn't a very big area. But the good news is that there are other areas up there with plenty of big shellcrackers.
