    Default Nickajack.


    Had some good G2 on the white bass at Nickajack from fishing buddy John Collins. So off I headed to try for some fish. Well as shown in sonar images I found them....plenty of them. Today I used a Major Craft Truzer 6’ 5” Ajing “Hard” model UL rod. Reel was a Shimano TwinPower C2000HGS spooled with 2# test SOS line. Lure today was a 1/8 ounce pink Fin Spin with a MidNight Blue Slab Curly. I caught over 80 fish in 4 hours. All the fish appeared to be males...all cookie cutter in the 12-13 inch range. While I did not find the big females it was a lot of fun on the UL gear....these fish were “Diggin” with water temps close to 54-55 degrees. The dam is releasing 100,000 CFS of water and there are 2 sand bars I want to fish but with all that current it was hard to do.....had to stay in the flat water. With more rain coming I have no idea when those gates will be closed but you can bet with the next nice weather day I will be right back down there! Life is good!

    Regards

    Great job. They fight like mad on the light tackle you were using.

    Thanks for the comments. Yeah they give me all I want on the UL gear. Just waiting now for some of this water to get out of here to get back out there.

    I'm waiting for some of this water to get out of here also. I fish just upstream from you in Chickamauga. If you ever need a partner for Nickajack or want to fish Chickamauga out of my boat send me a message.

    Thanks, JayW

    Very kind of you. I have been wanting to make the few extra miles to fish the tailrace there. Going to have to do that soon.

    I need some MEGA lessons from you. Those images are incredible! I just bought a Helix 12 Mega SI. Can't wait to get it on the boat.

    As always, Thanks and keep up the awesome posts!

    Thanks for the comment. I find the Helix Mega to be about as user friendly as it can get. Today I just purchased a Lake Master map with the Smart Strike feature for Old Hickory Lake. I think it is worth the money. Going to enjoy checking it out.
