If you go to Cordell Hull dam and catch skippies, just put them on a hook and troll downriver a coupla miles to the Caney Fork river and go up there. This is where I'm hearing the big stripers are being caught now.
If you do want to fish around lock 5, put in at Hunter's Point launch at 231, and go right (upriver) a mile to Cedar Creek on the right side. Go back in there, 1st cove on the right, and catch all the shad you want. Lock 5 is 1/2 -3/4 miles upstream from Cedar Creek.
