Well, it was like my coworker said...no one in his bass club likes fishing Cheatham Tough fishing all the way around. Between him and myself, we caught around 30 fish but not ONE keeper LOL.
We started out in Sycamore creek and went up that a ways, fishing top water. Nothing. Then, I wanted to fish the Harpeth River because I saw some good rock bluffs on Google Maps so we went there and fished from the mouth till the end of the big rock walls...nothing. Beautiful scenery though (attached pics). I had really thought that early in the morning we would catch some fish along those rock walls. Boy was I wrong.
We then went back out to the main lake and fished deep with big worms, caught some small ones. Then we went into an inlet and started fishing in the shade and started catching spots and LM, but could not get a keeper. Came back down the lake and fished a rock wall almost across from Sycamore Creek; I was using a watermelon/pepper ultra-vibe speed craw on a 1/8 oz. shaky head jig and they were nailing it but again, no keepers. The tournament was won by a guy bringing in ONE fish that was 16 inches. We tried almost everything; frogs, poppers, buzzbaits, crankbaits, 10" worms, jigs, finesse worms, Senkos...just about all our fish were caught on shaky head (my partner) or the speed craws (me). Tough day fishing but that Harpeth River sure is scenic; that scenery and the beautiful weather made it a good day out on the water.
