Probably because of the growth of tournament fishing -- people simply don't want to discuss details, especially on average lakes like priest and old hickory where most of the year fishing is tough. The only guys whacking 'em are good anglers and unlike Guntersville and Chick which are massive, have current, and grass, and even an amateur can catch a limit, you're up against at places like Priest hence the limited number of "good spots" are kept secret. I've come across posts on Guntersville with freakin' GPS coord. on positive areas. You won't find anything like that on Priest. And, I think a lot of the more serious guys from the Nashville area -- the ones that can offer the best advice -- drive the extra hour to get to to KY, Pickwick, Gunt, etc. A vast majority of bass fishermen on Priest are like myself, weekend warriors, who pound the bank in the spring and fall and spend the rest of our time trying not to get hit by a jet ski.
