I am not saying from experience, but they should be in the boils at Old Hickory, I caught one a few weeks ago further down from the dam a few hundred yards, so I am willing to bet they are in the generators.

There is a shad kill going on from Gallatin Marina to the Dam. Not a massive kill off but some. Don't know if this affected the skip jack but it shut down the crappie I had been catching. Water dropping didn't help either.
