Below Cheatham
 

Was cold but had a great morning below Cheatham. Caught these standing on the bank using crappie sliders and yum money minnows on the Ashland City Side. Could only post 4 pictures for some reason. Kept 12 whites, 1 sauger, and one 13" spot. /images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/11/d00d73027e6ce89f4d75a9d50ccb4b51.jpg[/IMG]http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...96603207d0.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...1d96efe2f3.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01...2234051faa.jpg

I'd that your spot? It looks like a Smallie or a mean mouth.

More mean mouth than a smallie or LM I think. Good day of fishing!

Yes. That's a spot.

Were they spilling and generating or just generating? Tva app says they are running 70k cfs today

Spilling and generating. Didn't look at the elevation before I went but yesterday was around 371' and anything above 365' has been OK for bank fishing. When it's this cold and I have no partner I don't splash the boat.

wow!!! I can taste that sauger right now! thnks for the report and pics

That's a good day catchin.

How deep were you fishing?

Caught most of them 10 to 15' deep I'd say. A few of the bigger whites came in less than 5 tho. I was counting down an 1/8th oz head on 6 lb line to 15 or so before it hit bottom.

Hell ya Shoeman
 

Great catch Mr Shoeman! Hope to see you down there soon

The Ashland City side is easier to find. Take Hwy 12 west or toward Clarksville to Cheap Hill Church of Christ and turn left. I think there is a brown sign there that says Lock A at Cheatham Dam. After turning left follow the main road to the bottom of the hill. At the T turn right. There is a parking area at the end of the lock wall. Lock B and the Dickson County side also have places to fish from the bank but someone would have to drive you to those to find them the first time.
