I'm not concerned with winning anything, just looking to meet a bunch of the guys on this site and make some new friends.

Sounds great! I am not worried about winning anything either! Just looking forward to a great day on the water with new friends!

But if you go below OH dam you will not be close to everyone else. There is some great jug fishing at Spencer Creek where the Gathering will be located, but you need to check the regs. Last I thought jug fishing was not allowed on the weekends during the day due to heavy boat traffic.

On TWRA lakes there is a no weekends and certain holidays during some on the year but not major reservoirs. Pretty much the only jug regs are Name, TWRA ID# on each, limit 50 per angler with a single hook on each, can't be within a 1000 yards (just over a half mile) of below a dam and must be ran at least one time a day.

Well, that knocks out the thought of juggin. Below OH dam begins Cheatham Lake so apparently that would remove it from the list of fishable lakes on the weekends.
I'm glad you brought this up as I didn't know about the 1000 yard distance you couldn't jug fish below the dam. And hadn't given much thought to juggin the "river" on the weekends. But it has been explained to me that below every major river dam in TN begins the next lake/reservoir technically (and legally).
Looks like I'll have to try something else.

You are fine as long as you don't get within that distance.
Old Hick, Cheatham and are Corps of Engineers not TWRA managed lakes.
TWRA lakes are ones like Marrowbone where you have to typically pay a fee to use and be off at a certain time.

This is correct regarding regulations and in some instances if there is a tailwater running into it like say the Stones does then it will fall on the regs of what body its running into.
The Stones from mouth to Percy Dam is under Cheatham regs.

Just throwing this out there...
I already mentioned that I don't have a boat so would like to get in with someone. If anyone happens to be a striper guy, I'm dying to hook one of those things so if for this gathering you want to take a boat ride to below OH Dam and get after stripers or anywhere else on OH that you have knowledge of their existence, pick me! I'll gladly pitch in for gas since it may be a long boat ride. It would be a great opportunity for me to not only make a new friend/fishing buddy, but also finally hook a striper (or 7).

Thanks Travis. I have been unclear what lakes are TWRA and which are Corps of Engineers. What you are saying is that Center Hill, Dale Hollow, Cordell Hull, Tims Ford, Old Hickory, Cheatham, and Percy Priest are all Corps of Engineer lakes and not TWRA lakes, is this true?

Tim's is not Corps its TVA (check my links).
TWRA techincally manages not just all lakes but all flora/fauna in TN.
The difference is the 18 TWRA managed lakes are designed and regulated especially for family fishing, these lakes prohibit alcoholic beverages, houseboats, inboard motors, water skiing, personal watercraft, and swimming. Usually, there is also a fee to fish and rent boats if available. They will have some special regulations for creel/size of some species too.

Bumping this since it got pushed down quite quickly before many had a chance to see it
