I'm only 8 miles from the cheatham dam and have been fishing it the last few days. The skipjack are there is good number. Sorry but i love taking my 15 old girl there and watch her throw a bead head white woolly bugger. She pulled in 20 or so all over a pound or two tue in under two hours. I have been catching stripers and white bass in ok numbers all stripers under 10 pounds. I think i could do better on the stripers if i was to go with a heavier line. I mostly catch skipjack close to the surface, if you get past the skipjack and get that fly down close to the bottom you will do alot better with the stripers. I heavy white jig 1/4 oz or so does very good as well. Not seeing the thinfin shad yet on the walls and all. if your into catfishing the blues are up the river. Took some skipjack from the dam and motored down to lock B and pulled in a 12, 15, 18, 26 pound blues. They are running a couple generators so the water is moving out. With the warm weather and all do like i do if you can and go during the week even if in the late aftenoon after work.
