Old HIckory-Chrysler Jeep Gallatin Access


Caught about 40+ fish today using jigs tipped with minnows in about 10 feet of water. Caught mostly crappie & yellow bass with some largemouth bass and a nice catfish. Very nice fishing day on Old Hickory. I took home 9 keeper crappie in the 10 to 12 inch range.

Percy Priest Crappie Spring Bite


Fishing at the Fall Creek Ramp on Percy in the Spring was quite an experience. I caught several large white & black crappie on chartreuse & yellow paddle bugs tipped with medium & small minnows at about 7 feet suspended in 10 feet of water doing a slow backwards troll in my kayak. The crappie were difficult to land because they were so aggressive and kept getting off. I had to have my net in the water as soon as I had the bite. Overall it was my best crappie day yet in Tennessee. Beat that Speicher!
