I do a lot that's for sure. It doesn't always pay off either. Today was a bust for what I went after. The stripers and white bass are usually stacked below Pickwick with a big water release. But the past two days I came up empty on those. But I did finally find a few fish up in the lake....but my target specie was a complete bust.

I went below Old Hickory for awhile this afternoon just to see what it was like.
I cast in front of the generators for an hour without a bite.
That water is really rolling!

Merv I read what TK said about the stripers not being there when they let that much water go. Is it always muddy when they open the gates like that? Pickwick remains pretty clear releasing 100,000 CFS and I have seen it at 200,000 CFS but even then the water would be just stained. Most of the time below Pickwick the greater the water the better the fishing. I guess that is the difference between the two systems.....and the Cumberland has monster stripers and Pickwick has their baby brothers.
