I see boats coming through on plane that are not in the creek channel (according to my Lake Insight map), but I'm just not confident enough to do that yet. Would you recommend I start at the mouth of the creek or run all the way up to the source and start there?

I've been fishing Old Hickory for about 12 plus years and still hit new spots or try to when I'm out or at least scan with my HDS7. Learn it slowly no reason to rush anywhere and try to cut through hoping its a shortcut because if you're on the main channel doing that it's probably a foot deep. Learn where the buoys are on OH is marked well. With that being said fish the wood off the channel it will hold some good fish if you are persistent. Right now I've seen bait holding in these areas (Picture below of old Hick log) While your headed to the wood watch your sonar for drops and humps off the channel ledge. If you see other boats fishing offshore areas make a note go back later and check it out. They are there for a reason. Docks close to deeper water are good places too. Fish a frog in and around the grass anytime of the day. I could go on an on but hopefully this helps. Dakota
