Finally got back out on Old Hickory
« on: June 04, 2011, 07:51:05 PM »
After a year of being off the water I finally got out again.  Fished Old Hickory Lake today with a friend of mine.  Started out at dark thirty and fished till around 11:00.  A great day on the lake with a good deal of fish.  Caught shellcrackers, bluegill, warmouths, crappie, drum, catfish, largemouth bass and a few smallies.  Topwater was a little slow but the sizes of bass were good.  Used sliders, buggers and a few large nymphs.  Feels great to be back.  Hope you all get out soon.

Ron, Love the 6wt you sold me two years ago, I finally broke it in.

Go catch a fish,

Gary

Great to have you back Gary.
Wherever the standard of freedom and Independence has been or shall be unfurled, there will her heart, her benedictions and her prayers be.

But she goes not abroad, in search of monsters to destroy.

She is the well-wisher to the freedom and independence of all.

She is the champion and vindicator only of her own.

Sounds great Gary. We'll need to get out. I had a very large bass take a small bluegill,  while I was pulling it in. I was using  a 3 wt with a small nymph.  It startled me. Never had a chance!!   Should have used the 6 wt ;D ;D
