Thread: Minnows around starkville?

You can catch some on the river rite now fishing 10-12' deep on old blow downs next to deeper ledges. Be prepared to catch lots of little ones

Thanks for info. I'm kind of a newbie as far as fishing rivers. About the only places I've fished are the corps lakes

There are some places where you can catch them shallow during hot weather but you gonna have to put some time in to find them. They are usually pretty good quality for the river. If you've been fishing the corp lakes the river fish are gonna be a lot smaller than what you are used to catching. Check out the last few tourney results and you will understand. When I fish Nader for a couple months and then go back to the Ten-Tom, I have to change my attitude about what a good fish looks like. If you can catch a limit of 3/4-1 1/2 lb fish you have had an excellent day.

Just my 2 cents, but i's opt for the Tenn Tom over Bluff. Feeshrman was right about Bluff being tough. I've still been catching them on the river 3-6 feet deep near deeper water. Fish early and find shady spots when the sun comes up.
