9/9/11 old hick
Braved the rain yesterday, my dad was in town for my sons birthday party this weekend and wanted to do some fishing. So we hit old hick at daybreak, three top water a lot, caught some decent fish on buzz baits. None out or around grass at all. Idk if that’s just my luck or what, but couldn’t buy a bite around grass. We boated 12-15 bass with 6 keepers, had some nice healthy fish, dad lost a 5+ on a buzzbait. He was heartbroken. I had to hear about it all day. By the end of the day it was a12lber 🤦*♂️ hopefully the lake is about to turn a new leaf and get to fishing better. ROLL TIDE!!!

Way to go Skillet. Wish I would have seen your post before I went out this morning. I fished Station Camp and Town Creek coves; heavy overcast skies tossing a black buzzbait in and along grass. NOTHING. I tried squarebill and deeper cranks, again no bite. I guess I just don't know what the hell I'm doing! Any tho'ts?

Zoom z craw and white 1/4oz buzz bait. That was all I caught them on. I threw a shakey head, squarebills, rat l traps, sexy dawg, and a Texas rigged worm. I should’ve put a white spinner bait on and tried that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I don’t use a trailer. Straight up old skirt or no skirt with a swim bait on it. But prefer the skirt. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I’d hope so!!! At least when you follow him you catch fish. If Tnbronzeback follows him he can’t catch a cold!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I still chuckle when I think back to the TWRA flipping you guys crap on JPP two winters ago. LOL

Way to go Skillet. I'm starting to get a little OH itch. I think I'm gonna spend the next couple of weeks to see what I can grind out. The weather is supposed to be much nicer for the foreseeable future and I can actually fish in some daylight hours.

The TWRA agent just couldn’t believe out of the 10-20 boats in the area, that WE were the only ones to not have a fish in the well. He proceeded to let us know how bad of fishermen we were and that maybe we should get a new hobby. But we were trolling and holding our rods with our hands and only had one rod a piece, unlike all the other boats that were pulling boards and had multiple rods out. Either way, we managed to catch a few. And I caught my personal best striper. Wasn’t a great big one but around 10-12lbs!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Really hoping for good conditions Saturday and Sunday. We have our club fishoff and it’s a two day deal. I’ve been praying every day and night to let the good lord shine some light on this dogs ass and catch some fish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Old hickory sure can/usually is pretty stingy this time of year. Wish I could be some help to you. After early morning buzz bait I would prolly be throwing big worm or shakey head. Good luck to you Skillet.

Gojo sucks, those ain’t my hands anyways. And I’ll NEVER wear a UT 🤢🤮 hat. You better hope I don’t see your truck and trailer at the river....it’ll have a Bama sticker on it when you get back!!! 😂😂😂 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Shakey head has been a big producer for me this year. If it don’t, then the neko usually will. But as of late, it seems that bite has fallen off. The jig bite picked up for me though, which was a shocker. I’m ready to get after it this weekend. Honestly, I’ll be glad this tournament season will be over, I’m ready to focus on some crappie or sauger or something different. I love bass fishing but this last 2 months has been hell.

Thanks guys....i ALMOST forgot about the day i got laughed at by the TWRA guy for not catching anything. It was not a good feeling to. Lol. The surprise on his face was torture enough! lol.
"you guys SURE you havent caught anything? Everybody else out here has" I offered to let him board the boat and see for himself. Sad, sad day. But, my man Skillet did catch his PB striper so that was cool. |
