Took a quick trip to Watts Bar this weekend, mostly to just get away. To my surprise the crappie were hungry. I didn't take the boat just fished off the rocks but there were plenty of boats there. I caught 2 short eyes and 6 keeper crappie with one being 13.5 . I also landed 12 short crappie. Monkey milk and Weiss lake killer were the colors that worked best for me. Mother was happy as she has been wanting a fish dinner for a good time now.
Good job in such swift current.
Nicely done!
Always wanted to fish Chickamauga for Crappie.
Been there 4 or 5 times staying at Bluewater in Dayton.
Always fishing out of my buddies boat for those Green fish.
Next time we go I’m taking my boat and leaving the chunking and winding to them.
Thanks for the report.

Yep, gettin' about time to get up there and chase some walleyes. Hoping I can carve out some time to do it in the next few weeks.
:cheers2
Nice catch with the current that they are running up there now. I have caught some nice Stripers up there lately and my biggest White bass 17.25” and 2 lbs 5 ozs.
...anything with teeth lately??Quote:

I wanna chase some of those walleye. Do you recommend the Chatt area of the lake or further north ?
Not that I know crap about these fish...From now through April, i'd be focused on the upper 1/4 of the lake. Wouldn't discount headwaters of major creeks and tributaries as well, much fewer fisherman. From May through the fall, i'd be focused on deeper ledges much further down the lake, and fishing almost exclusively at nightQuote:
