    Where are you?
    If you are in Memphis, I doubt you want to go to Watts Bar in Knoxville.

    Dale has an amazing population of gills and shellcrackers. The crackers can be tough to locate however.

    Williamsport also has a panfish only lake that I have been told holds monsters.

    We usually have good luck on center hill, in the back of cove hollow marina. We went Sunday, and they wasn’t really there just yet. We only caught some small bluegill, but normally have good luck catching shell cracker in that area.

    We used to catch quite a few in Old Hickory. I lived in Gallatin at the time and used to catch a bunch on wax worms. We usually fished Spencer or Station Camp Creeks.
