    I haven’t seen creeks but crossing over 109 bridge at bull creek main channel looks like a mud pit. Let us know if you go.

    Main channel is still muddy with lots of debris and current was ripping. 55-57 deg water temps in main channel. We fished up near steam plant and saw water as warm as 65. Fishing was rough. Two bites and one landed on a shad square bill. Still beats being at work.

    Thanks fort he updates! I had my son go by and take a pic of the station camp creek ramp before deciding to give it some more time to get back to normal. The ramp had lots of wood stacked off the side so people could at least launch.

    Water was much better than last time, much clearer and not as much trash. Rained on us quite a bit so that might change. Fishing was ok 4 keepers and several shorts.

    Fished the Cumberland River in Clarksville today. If there is as much junk floating on Old Stickory as we have here then y'all be extra careful. Surface water temps were right at 70 in the river, the creeks on the lake should start getting good.

    Old Hickory was good to me today. Cranked up a dozen keepers, several shorts, and four big drum LOL.

    Water temps were about 61 in the morning and up to 69 in the afternoon. I was sitting in 5-7 feet of water cranking steep banks.

    Very nice fish John. I haven't been since getting back to the states. May go one afternoon this weekend if we get the garden sorted out.

    Caught the devil out of them yesterday over 35 bass. Only problem was I had maybe 2 or 3 keepers out of all those. Looking for a shad spawn early but I never saw one.
