Thread: Anyone Fished O' Hickory Yet

Crappie USA fished there this past weekend. Had a couple of local club friends go up to fish it and they placed with with a nice bag of 7 fish. Tourney was won with 11.62 in semi pro div and 10.86 for the amateur div. Point is, there are some good fish being caught up at Old Hickory so go enjoy your fishing there.

That's good news. Thanks for your comments. I will Google and see what I can find with regards to the Tourney... I know the weather has sure improved of the past week or so.

My son was out Monday, he shot docks in 6 to 12 fow and put 24 in the boat, he fished the upper end creeks with 1/16 red jig and KY Killer southern pro hot grubs. Most were black crappie and a bulk of them were males. Most fish came after 2:00 pm. Its been hit or miss this year so far but will be getting better over the next couple weeks.

Good luck,
Ray

Thanks All, I took my boat out on Tuesday with a couple buddies. Oh my what a trip. Though I had check everything but forgot to check the trolling motor battery I guess. I charged them a while back and I did start the motor at the house with no problem. But once on the water at our first stop we had no trolling motor. Oh well guess I need to put myself up a checklist. So we were at the mercy of the wind and current which proved to be difficult so I hit a few coves and we did catch a mess of nice blue gills which my wife loves to eat.

While drifting I had my friend motor us back into a favorable position now and again. Suddenly the motor wouldn't start. I then went down to try it and nothing. We though the plug got fouled so we played with that for a while then found we were not getting spark at the plugs. Turns out my buddy Fred had accidentally hit the kill switch to the off position. So after about 1 hour we were back up and running.

Still a good day on the water. First one this year. Hope the next one is less eventful and more productive. On the way back to the ramp I was told that Fred had backed over my other friends mailbox when they were leaving...hahaha

I charged the battery when I got home and the trolling motor worked. Will be taking the battery out and have it checked and get a new one if its even marginal. Its not easy being Tom

I thought that I was the only person that happens to.

Thanks for all of y'all's reports
