    Old Hickory 4/27

    Ive been keeping an eye on tva's website and so far the water hasn't come up, but they're pulling it hard today.

    If anyone is near the lake today and can give me an idea of water conditions that would be great. I plan on doing some prefishing tomorrow! Thanks.

    drove over and looked a little while ago. Looked kinda semi-sweet in cedar creek, couldnt see out on the channel. Really wasnt too bad IMO. We've had a lot more rain in MJ since then so I'd say everwhere will be ya-hoo in a short time

    Ya-hoo at 231 bridge. Didn't see to much debris. Water level up but not bad yet. Yet being the key word!

    Fished today, water was about 1ft high when I put in this morning but they pulled out about a foot so it's right at summer pool now. Fish were on and chasing bait like crazy. Good day to be on the water. temp 65-67. Color wasn't bad either, even better in the creeks.

    A few floaters to watch for but not too many.

    Fished the Gambler tourney yesterday. Lots of good bags brought in. 14-15lbs is pretty solid on the hick. Took 18lbs even to win.

    Water 66-67 degrees main lake.

    I fished yesterday evening 2:30 to 7pm and whacked 'em. 7 keepers and probably that many shorts. No giants though. The water in the hardbottom creeks looks really good, and it actually seemed about 1' low...

    It's been low since Friday. I can't figure how everywhere else is so high but the pull the chit out of OH and get it low???... We fished Fri, Sat and Sun. Had limits in tournaments Sat & Sun -11.xx on Sat and 9.90 in the gambler T. For some reason we just can't find a good one or two to throw in on top of our chunks. Never even had a good 4+lb fish on in 3 days straight. It's gonna break loose though, they're there and we'll find em.

    Had 18 today with 7 keepers. No big fish. We fished slow on deeper secondary points.
