Fished a tourney on OH this morning. We didn't win but we caught a lot of fish and probably around 15 keepers. We had 12 lbs and just couldn't find any bigger fish. But we caught our keepers on main creek channel banks. Points, channel swings etc. creek points were a big key. But we had a limit very quickly by fishing docks that had shad spawning on them early this morning. The shad were spawning like crazy early

We were on old hickory Friday and Saturday. We could get on the small bass, but never could zero in on the large mature fish.

Good to hear someone located shad spawning..

Take off was from Flippers and I started just above 2 foot and worked my way back fishing main lake pockets and small creeks along the way. It took just over 17lbs to win. Finished 9th

The bite was early in the morning for Mr ED and me then the tournament boats started flying in and spooked the fish and it was over. We had four bass in four casts up to 3 1/2 lbs then it was over.

Glad to hear someone shares my misfortune!!! Lol. There's two things happening and it can only be one or the other. Either old hickory is fishing totally different than it has the last few years or I just plain suck!!!!!! Well, I guess it could be both. 🤔 I've said many times this year, I'm as lost as last years Easter egg, and I'm starting to really stink up the joint!!!

Glad you posted Mr. Lucky now go find em' and let us know where the next step will be as Soon and very soon the pattern will change over to a summer bite.
