Cheatam Dam this weekend
 

Fished it two days, did ok. Caught 3 or 4 catfish each day and 1 striper, 1 hybrid and 1 whitebass on sunday. Both days i was out at sunrise, was nice and cool haha. Flow was about 21K CFS so not too bad. Lots of boats out there. A couple of boats were just hauling in the little catfish, i think on chicken liver right in the main current. Talked to a guy who caught a few hybrids on a swim bait up near the dam and by the lock. I was using mostly live skipjack.

The pic is of the striper(top) and hybrid (bottom). Please correct me if I miss IDed these!

Congrats on your catch.

No mistake, you got'em right.
Pretty healthy lookin hybrid there.
Well, not too healthy right there, he looks kinda dead right there.
But was sure healthy before he was caught!

lol yeah merv they were healthy....and tasty lol. fun to catch too. im excited to start learning how to catch them

and thanks alpha, i think it was you who told me that white bass were good eating? The stripes/whites were a hit at the dinner party we hosted so thanks for that tip!

Yellows are the best tasting and no limit

Yup, yellows are great eating.
And there are some nice ones in JPP.
One morning I caught three at once in the castnet. Each fish was about 12 inches long.
Too bad I was looking for shad that morning, otherwise, I'd have anchor locked on that spot and dropped a small spoon down to them.

I've never caught a yellow worth keeping. Did someone put those in Priest years back? Growing up fishing the lake I don't remember them being in there.

Nice fish! Yellow Bass are great tasting but the problem is most of them are too small to be worth the work of filleting. I like all the striped species of bass. Whites, Hybrids, Striped, and Yellow are all great table fare.
