Watts bar

jon, what kind of structure were you fishing? Were you trolling? Were you fishing channel drops or were you fishing brushpiles? Sorry so many questions, just curious.

Polo dog, I was trolling a creek channel and the fish were on brushpiles that have been put out all the way up the creek. I do not mind the questions, I should have been more specific in my post. One of these days, I will go to another lake, but Watts Bar is just about out my back door (2 minutes away).

I always think the same thing, about another lake, but there is such great fishing here at Chickamauga it's hard to get excited about going somewhere else and spending my fishing time getting there. Is the water clarity good in Watts Bar. At one point I thought that it was much better than Chickamauga but after thinking about it I would expect that the clarity would be similar.

It depends on where you go. The emory river gets really clear this time of year, along with whites creek and the piney river. The main lake is stained 2' to 4' visability. I like the chick, I just need to get off my but and fish down there some. The last time I was there, was in the spring, and we caught some really nice largemouth on the Hiwassi(sp?)
