Old Hickory Lake Guide Service Fishing Report- 05/22/2015- 06/17/2015
Keeping in typical form as it has all year, fishing on Old Hickory has remained very good. This year has been especially good considering just last week a 22lb bag was weighted which in years past never happened this time of year. 3 hr, 3 fish week day tournaments are seeing multiple10 lb bags right now when typically 7-8 would be winning in years past. Old Hickory has really seemed to hit its stride and is showing no signs of slowing down.
The typical summer time heat and humidity have no doubt shown up this week and really jumping the water temps up grouping fish up on offshore structure strong. We have been able to find several giant schools over the past several weeks and have also found them to be very susceptible to pressure right now and not taking much to bump the fish around and off a spot. When we have found schools grouped up right we have absolutely caught awesome numbers and depending on the school, size as well. Last week me and fellow OHGS guide Brad had several evenings where our best 5 went over 20lbs and catching over 40 fish in just several hrs. The key has been finding where those big schools get bumped to and only catching a few out of each school which leaves them intact.
Our best baits over the past week have been deep diving crankbaits, 10 in green pumpkin worms, a Bass Kandi T-Craw rigged on a Swinghead Football Jig, ½ oz Bass Kandi Jig in Magic Craw and C-Rigged creature baits in green pumpkin.
If you are beginning to struggle as the shallow fish dwindle and are interested in learning how to use that expensive fish finder, I can help. Being able to read and interoperate you electronics is of the upmost importance and can make you a much better angler. I have literally spent hundreds of hours riding and looking without ever making a cast and have gained the knowledge necessary to teach you where to look, how to look and then how to fish offshore structure.
Here at OHGS we use brand new high end fishing equipment from Denali Rods, Lews reels, Sunline, Fish Terror Baits, Bass Kandi Baits, and other top of the line equipment. I am a United States Coast Guard licensed captain and 100% dedicated to making your trip the trip of a lifetime.
