old hickory lake fishing report 8/30/2013

[tacklemake]

I got out today and found no wind with blue bird sky and hot as hell. I got in the lake around 6:30am at lock 3 ramp and found some braking fish not many. The water temp was around 84 deg so I started with a KVD top water with no takers then I switch to a KVD 1.0 and pick up a small drum trolling and no other hits on this lure. So I pick up the rod with the 6" black lizard by zoom and caught a nice LM around 11/2 lbs in 8' to 10' of water. I always like to try something new so today I put on a lure made by Rebel called the Rebel Raider. Its a small lipless lure about 11/2" long that sinks so I put it under a float about 3' and troll it with the bow mount at 3 speed and pick up a white bass. All the fish that I catch I release so someone else can have fun catching them. Its was getting to hot to fish after 4 hours on the water so I stop and came in but I will be back out there tomorrow morning if it dosen't rain.......................woody

Good report Woody.....nice looking fish. Maybe we will get some relief from heat this coming week.

Good job Woody. I'm glad I've been working a lot lately, it's just too hot to be out on the water. Be careful out there, stay hydrated, and wear appropriate clothing.

Nice going, Woody. Those drum sure aren't picky, are they :)

Hi Guys, New here but thought I would stop in and say Hi!

I fished Drakes Last night with no luck and with all the boats and high pressure it's gonna be hard for me to find them I fished the banks with black worms then switched to spoons on the channel.

I'm finding alot of fish in 20' to 24' but I think alot of them are drum , at least that is what is hitting. Most fishermen are using deep diving cranks but I like 1/8oz feather spinner baits just up off the bottom or using lizards. I'm not killing them but least I'm catching something. Tomorrow I will try something diffrent if I don't get shot by a goose hunter. This was todays catch a bluegill in 3' water, a LM in 8' water ' a drum in 23' water.............woody
