Title: Finally got back out on Old Hickory
Post by: Gary 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

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
