And it sounds not uncommon to catch many 12-15 inchers which to me sounds like a blast!! Just to even catch and not eat! Anyways, to get to my question. Are there good spots to shore fish these crappies this time of year and throughout the winter around downtown nashville. Percy? Percy Tailwaters? Old hickory? OH Tailwaters? Any info will be greatly appreciated. I don't need specific spots, but am curious as what to look for? Brush? Moving water? Shallow? Deep? Thanks for any response!

If the Cumberland is backed up into Stones River....Percy tail waters...you can catch some Crappie there up next to the left wall area as you are below the dam and looking straight at it. I have caught some really nice ones there. You may also want to try on the exact other side on the lake. If you are facing the dam it will be on your right. You have to crawl down the rocks and fish that area where dam and bank meet. A lot of people fish it so be prepared for some shoulder to shoulder. But it holds big Crappie during Spring and Fall...but I have never fished there in the Winter.
