Personal best on the Caney

[lforet2002]

Went to the Caney Fork around 6 am this morning. Fished at the rest stop. Caught 5 fish real quick then people started to crowd me so I move up river towards the bridge by the interstate. Caught a few more bows then the sun came out and the bite slowed down. About 10:30 am a big brown nailed my nightcrawler and flew out of the water like a torpedo. He made 3 big jumps like that during the fight coming clean out of the water. Landed him with no problems and he measured just a tad over 20 inches. One of the most beautiful fish I've ever caught. The only part that sucks is that I was by myself and couldn't get a good pic..All in all had a great day. Caught 19 fish all on nightcrawlers.

Does anyone know if they are slucing?

They are sluicing during generation. During no generation they are sluicing 250 CFS......which is really not a problem. Best way to keep up with that is use the TVA app for your phone or go to the TVA website...and also monitor the Center Hill Facebook page.

Beautiful fish! Do you use a float with the nightcrawlers?

No float, fishing bottom. I fish it just like you would a plastic worm. I use a carolina rig with a 1/8 ounce barrel sinker...Slow steady retrieve with a little twitch every few turns.

Oh and I was using a #6 hook but found I was gut hooking too many fish, so this past weekend I went with a little bigger hook a #4 and did not gut hook any fish at all.

Awesome, thanks! I may hit the Caney this weekend, and looking for an easy way for my 9 year old to get on some fish. I was thinking trout magnet, but this might be better.
