Thread: Big -0- On Hickory

Took the boat out for the first time this year. The motor run good, and I finally got to troll for crappie. This type fishing is new for me. o bites, but I can tell I am going to enjoy spider rigging. Looks like my set up is going to work good. All my rods were stable, even with the wind. I was in spence creek.

Yea I need to learn how to troll, still crappie fish the old way I guess....treetops and boat docks.
I've got to get up Douglas and let sinkum and the boy's teach me how it's done.

I cant believe no one is fishing hickory besides me and lloyd??

I was there 2 weeks ago and found crappie in my "secret holes" . I had 6 keepers and several others. all on a chartruse feather jig in about 5 feet of water.

I've been wanting to get out on Old Hickory and check out some of my old spots in Rocky Creek and Little Cedar Creek. That's a good half hour/45 min drive for me to put in at the Hunter's Point Ramp. I can walk out my front door and have my boat in Percy Priest lake in under 5 min.

I think that they is a lot of current on the lake. The river below the dam is still up about 4 or 5 feet and really running. Monday morning it was up about 8 or so feet and muddy. Someone said that they had Center Hill gates open and were really running a lot of water out of there. The color here is back to about normal and not so many trees, trash etc coming down now. Should be OK in a few days.

Just got back from spence creek.... more of the same O. did find some promising spots. water temp 50 to 52 in spots.
