The big ones do not come out of their holes until there is Generation ... ( Log Jams around Interstate supports, Train trestles ..etc) The only way this can be fished is by boat ... trolled or cast ... But this is dangerous be very carefull around the moving current around the inbuttments ... under toe current will suck a boat down if it gets caught crossed ways from a upper river flow ... Trust me know from Experience ! <'TK><

You aren't the fella that donated those boats that were submerged in silt on the Caney are you?

TK,
Thanks for the advice. An old mutual friend of ours shared your story with me. If anything I am super cautious when on the water especially when around any structure. My motto is "Live to fish another day."

Yesterday was my first time ever fishing heavy generation in the caney (only because I just bought an aluminum jon that is 70" wide). It can be unnerving! There was swirling water in sections that appears to be a wide open stretch with no visible obstructions.

Before the heavy generation caught up to us I did catch a brown just over 20 inches on my very first cast then blanked the rest of the day. Spent a few hours bass fishing on the Cumberland and only had one bite.
