Thread: Anybody here fish the Tenn-Tom?

Say u had to use one pole up there in the 2nd weekend in may. Where would u fish?

Thanks for all of the posts! I really appreciate the info.

@Donald, how close will they actually be to the individual stumps? Do I need to try to get right up to the stumps and jig vertically, or will they be found anywhere in the stump field?

@Tritonman, I'll definitely keep that in mind. I guess I'll head that way after I get sick of fishing and not catching at Pratt.

@RooleyT, I might just see you out there this week yet. I do excavation work so I'm not too busy now when it's so wet, so that translates into more fishing time. Unfortunately, if it's wet that also usually means that there will be dirty water in the river.

Without a doubt in 5 to 10 foot of water in stump fields. Post spawn fish in the stumpage is my favorite time to fish.

it depends on the pattern you have for that day they may be right on the stump or they may be in a ditch leading into the stump field and it will depend on the weather shade lot of things i guess i say just fish until you figure out a pattern there is always one for every day

oh and dont forget to fish on the bank for them shallow males

Just let me know what kinda boat your in and I'll have a look & see . The water I'm sure is a bit muddy with the rain. That's just something to work out and make it a challenge. For sure they haven't packed up and left. Hope to see you on the water.
