Cheatham lock report
 
Went out below cheatham today for a couple hours. Flow was between 13K and 6K CFS so not bad at all. Skips are in there getting ready to spawn i guess, we were catching them about everycast on anything white and movin fast. Most were a good 1.5 or 2lb, smallest was probably still 12inch or so. Caught a couple of channel cats, prefect eating size. Didnt really fish for stripers/hybrids besides a little topwater at sundown but figure its still too early for them

I was up there Wednesday as well and couldn't keep the skipjacks off either. Did manage 1 white bass.

I probably won't go back down below the dam till late May or early June. Top water for stripers and hybrids starts to get good then if there's enough current. Started bass chasing above the dam Sunday afternoon and caught 1 picture worthy fish.

Very nice shoeman, yeah last year was my first year fishing below cheatham, first day on the boat was late May and I caught a nice striper. I'm assuming once the skips spawn and they grow big enough for bait it will start getting a lot better.
