Im new here, im 17 and i LOVE to fish. Ive fished every single day this sumer whether it be for Bass, Bluegill, Catfish, etc. Fishing is in my blood and im hoping to contribute to this site as much as i can!
With all that being said... i do NOT have boat.

ive been working with my dad, trying to find a good deal but at the moment i do not have a boat. Ive probably fished Old Hickory at every spot from the shore and im on the Hendersonville side. But i would love some advice on Catfishing cause im mostly a bass fisherman. Me and my friend have had luck at some boat ramps here and there, we went below the dam but didnt have any luck. Talked to a couple of people that said theyd had luck but i want to hook into a big one.. (20lbs+) any advice would be greatly appreciated (bait, good spots, time of day)
