old hickory lake fishing report 4/21/2014

[tacklemake]

I went out early this morning and the water temp was 64.3 with no wind. I was using a slip float set at 5' and a jig with a twister tail grub black body w/ chartreuse tail. I caught four real nice crappie, one bass and a bluegill. Sorry no pictures. The crappie went from 13" to 10 1/2" . So till the next time out good luck and GOD BLESS.............WOODY P.S. The crappie were all males.

Woody - My son and I hit the water at daybreak in the Cages Bend area. We ran to a long hard bottom point and started with spinner baits and an Excalibur Swimmin' image moving up and down the length of the point. The shad were all over the point and as the sun began to hit the water the bass just came in waves and crushed them all morning long. We caught over 30, all 1.5 - 2.5lb chunks with a few keeper length fish mixed in. All appeared to be males gorging on the shad in preparation to move into bedding areas. A great morning for sure but rather confusing on locating the bigger females. At 64 degree water you would think they would be ready to pop.

I see the bass on the finder pairing up in 8' water and I'm checking out the gravel shore lines and mounds. The problem is the temps keep going up and down not steady. I'm still looking for my 12 pound bass.................woody
