Update
Just wanted to give a little update on this weekend at Cheatham dam:
We got there around sunrise, there were about 3 other boats there, tons of bank fisherman. We ended up catching a few small skipjack for bait, got a couple of 2lbish catfish on that. Hooked a big gar, probably 20-25lbs?, that jumped completly out of the water and broke me off....was fun to watch haha.
the other boats were doing well on what looked like live minnows catching 1 or 2lb white bass or hybrids (couldnt see all that well).
Water was flowing decently at 25kCFS, not too much junk it the water but more than usual.
I also got a couple of small catfish on a Rapala jerk bait, thought that was wierd because i couldnt seem to get into any stripers on it just cats. Cut skipjack didnt produce any fish, was all on live.
Thanks again for the info on fishing below dams guys, seems like 25kCFS isnt all that bad to fish in, dont know if i would fish cheatham at anything faster though.
