This was the best day of fishing I've had in the last two years.
And now that my wife says she prefers the yellow bass over the crappie, I guess I'll have to start targeting them and learning their habits and haunts.

I love the things. You are in the right place as JPP seems to produce those bigger than any place I have ever been....plus no limit...so stock up....LOL.

Very nice day of fishing sir. Those yellows are the largest I have ever seen. I told my wife I would not fish over the next two weeks so I can hit Guntersville up the first weekend of March but after seeing this I may have lied to her.

How are all you guys in middle and east Tenn catching all these fish and how is the water so warm. West Tn just thawed out a few days ago and the water is still low 40's. I always felt middle and east were colder than west Tn. I only got to fish the first week of Jan on 2 days and only one small bass to show for it. Last year Feb was one of my best months of the year. Hoping they turn on this weekend when I can finally get back out on the water. A buddy that is a crappie king caught 10 yesterday with a 16.5 inch kicker on one of our local state lakes. (Read, yes I am extremely jealous)

Pickwick is cold...and Nickajack is cold....west and east....cold, but Mid TN is producing. I have two guys giving me reports daily from below the dam at Pickwick.....one of them is staying there for the week because as you said...this has always been a productive time there. The other guy will go back tomorrow but they are not catching anything below the dam to include whites.
Regards

Although I don't fish it myself (hope to start some) Reelfoot has not produced a single bite yet after thawing Fri and Sat this past week. My buddy that caught his fish yesterday almost never comes home without 2 limits from the lake he fishes. He knows this lake like the back of his hand and fishes everyday pretty much year round and has for the past 30 years. When he doesn't limit I know fishing is tough!!!
