We finally got the boat out on a big lake.after searching for a launch that wasnt dry , the tva has been working on the dam for years,the lake level and generation schedules are useless.fished for hours ,massive schools of shad on the sonar in 40 60 ft.of water.once they go up the creek arms im told the spotted bass bite is crazy.we finally found some hungry ones (navionics,bend in the river close to a point) no bass but tons of shellcrakers. .went yesterday with a friend of the wenches to try the caney fork.we caught no trout...just long nose gar! Saw some giant trout in the tail race...no takers.
...Cordell Hull next week.more stable/ predictable water levels.

.not a clue why the shellcracker pic is blacked out.? Couldnt get my hand around them,big fatties.

Aparently the dam base is on limestone...natural ph issues are undermining it ...army corps of engineers...they are not real popular around these parts.

Actually..."as popular as a hair in a cathead biscuit".

Thanx jay for the fix.

Cordell Hull dam.The TVA puts out out the red carpet for fisherman here, yes those are rod holders welded to the wall..stripers going crazy across the river,we picked the wrong side today...40 minute drive to the other side.

i lost a monster channel after a 10 minute brawl...guessing it was 12/15 lbs.hook wore right out of his mouth.7 drum landed,biggest 10 lbs...wench did well heavy current.
