Center hill? - FishingTN.com Tennessee's Fishing and Boating Community

Hey I was wondering if you guys could tell me anything about center hill? I have a high school tournament out of Ragland bottoms. I've never been on the lake before and was wondering if yall could tell me just some info about it. I'll be on the lake on the 14th if anybody sees a bright yellow boat with a older xr4 on the back that's me. Thanks

Smallie bite is still on....I can't help you with the largemouth bite. Look in 4-10 feet of water.

Regards

I don't know your rules, but asking for info is a no-no in most tournament series. Now public info such as this forum is ok, but asking is soliciting. And soliciting is frowned upon heavily. An elite angler just got in some hot water because a friend had said something about lake wheeler while atdinner. Im not trying to be a Debbie downer or get anyone in trouble. Just simply saying that you may want to double check before you get into any trouble. And I hope you do really well in the tournament.

I have never heard of rules against gathering info on fishing. The pros have been hiring guides and buying info for decades.

I too have never heard of rules like this. But I don't know everything. All I do know is you better have some black zoom trick worms in the boat. Fish that shoreline cover.

You can launch at Hurricane Bridge with no problems.....Edgar Evins has one ramp open. It is probably OK at the 629 level. Don't know what kind of boat you have but I wouldn't even try at Floating Mill.

I do know that the elites cannot "solicit" any private info or ask for info for a certain time before the tournament. Now I do realize I'm comparing apples to oranges. All I was saying to him was make sure there's not a rule like that.

Off-limit periods for the Bassmaster Classic, Elite Events, BASSfest and Angler of the Year championship event will start on a Monday, 12:01 am local time of each event site as posted by B.A.S.S. There will be a three-day practice period prior to the first competition day for Elite Series tournaments (except Elite No. 3 at Mountain Home, Ark.) During the offlimits periods, other than using publicly-available information (e.g. newspaper and Internet reports), competitors cannot solicit, receive or gather any information via phone, electronic devices or any other means about locating or catching fish on tournament waters. THERE SHALL BE NO EXCEPTIONS. All information must be opened or accessed prior to official off-limits periods.

Thanks guys for the info. I don't see there being a problem with asking as there isn't any money on the line or anything. So try a shakey head around cover? We'll be launching out of Ragland bottoms. Any suggestions on line? Light fluorocarbon?

I hope you did well, seeing as how most of your question was answered with pointless garbage, but it is the internet, trolls and trolltards, and wanna be experts run wild these days...

I fished the dam end Saturday and had 5 that went 10'lbs for 2nd place in our little deal. All mine were on natural craw type color jigs and plum worms on a texas rig.

The big fish I saw came from another tournament out of the same ramp as us, they ran to the ragland end and I was told those guys were killing them on Zarra Spooks

So other tournament anglers on here giving somebody else a bit of advice regarding gathering information prior to a tournament is viewed by you as pointless garbage and trolling?
