They were in 4-6 ft of water up the river arm this weekend.

Had a good day upriver Saturday. Stayed north of New River all day and found fish in a number of places. All 4 ft and less. Had to work through a lot of smalls before lunch, but the bigger fish got...

Nice haul. We fished up river on Saturday with decent results. Found some really nice fish on the mudlines.

The best fishing from now through the summer will be on brush piles that people have put out. Night fishing the bridges is also a good bet.

In the Ringer/219 area the fish are up shallow. Good friend caught some nice fish super shallow on Friday.

Caught some nice pre-spawn females up river on Saturday. They were gone by Sunday. There are a lot of fish on the banks in most of the major main lake creeks from reports I'm seeing.

I fished upriver Saturday and Sunday. Did well both days, but Sunday afternoon was non-stop. Fish were in 2-6 ft near timber. There was a lot of bait in the area and the fish were feeding hard. The...

I went again Tuesday afternoon. Same as the day before. Tons of smaller fish biting and right before dark I found a brush pile in 6 ft of water loaded with bigger fish. There were still a good many...

It was 68 yesterday and they were biting better than Sunday. They had moved up into 5-7 ft and wanted it trolling about 1-1.3 mph.

Fished late yesterday in the Ringer area. Tons of smaller fish in 8-12 ft of water and were easy to pick off long lining. Found some larger fish in 5-6 ft around brush. Water temps were in 60's and...

Ventured north from my home waters of West Point this past Saturday. Met up with a good buddy and we hit the docks of Lanier. We caught fish pretty steady all day. Even though the schools were large...

Jumped on the water for a short trip after work yesterday. Caught 20 in a little over an hour up near Franklin. Had a handful of nice slabs. Also had a mess of white bass and a couple small stripers....

I put in at the bridge in Franklin and went as far as Snake Creek. There is plenty of water right now. It has gotten low only a couple times this winter but the rain has kept it up (and muddy) for...

Dad and I caught 64 up river last Sunday. Water temps in the 46-48 degree range. No giants but some decent fish. The bigger fish will show up in the next week or so.

Nice Haul!

Fine job as always Doug!

You got that right! That makes a trip right there!

I'll let you in on a secret trip on why we have so much success on the river. I spend as much time on the water in December and January when the water is dead low. I just slowly ride and look and...

Keep them down there for me for about another week. Having too much fun catching crappie and the white bass will be up any day.

Spent this weekend upriver is my favorite haunts and it paid off big time. Saturday may have been the single best day I have had for catching crappie. We caught exactly 100 fish in just under 2...

Take a look at this link. It is my report from Monday. I'd be looking for blowdowns in pockets and fishing them with...

I had the opportunity to take a few friends and their kids out on the lake today. They live in Florida and came up on spring break to stay with some family. Although they love to fish, the kids had...

The river was close to being out of the bank this morning in Franklin. I would imagine the top end of the lake is quite muddy.

I fish upriver and from my observations the fish begin moving up to spawn somewhere in the 1st-2nd week of March. Take last year on March 6, we were catching fish in 2-4 ft and the water temps were...

I agree. I always have my best luck the first week of March through maybe the 3rd week.

The water is looking real good upriver. But as said, the water is about 8ft. down and if you are thinking about running the river go SLOW.

Had a very good day up the river yesterday. The crappie and white bass were going good. All fish except a few were caught in creeks. The crappie are just about ready to spawn and were in 4ft and...

You won't be fishing the Hooch above West Point. It is a mess and will be for the next 3-4 days.

At least you were out there. The upper hooch has been a dang mess every week. About the time it gets right...bam...more rain.

Not far. Depending on how fast a boat you have probably 10-15 minutes. I stay upriver this time of year. January and February can be excellent even with low water.
