New Johnsonville Tn Bass Fishing Report

We got closer to the spot, fished about an hour back and forth, and neither of us got a bite, Williams said. I knew the fish were still there the depthfinder was lighting up. After about the 4th pass Brandon Hunter, the co-angler catches one over 4 pounds on the worm. Really, he caught a keeper before that, so that made it four keepers on a worm. He knew then he had a chance to win, and gave me some of his worms. (bassfan.com)

I m still fishing a Bass Pro Shops Kermy frog in black or a black and chartreuse color. I m fishing this bait on 40lb test Seaguar Kanzen braid, with a Lews 7. 1 reel and flipping stick. Most of the bass I m catching are in 1 to 2 foot of water. I m just fishing grass and listening for the bait to make a smacking sound in the grass, or motion under the mat. Whenever you here the bait smacking under the mat you better get your frog rod out and go frogging. I don t think this pattern will last much longer, most likely another cold front will push this bait out and the bass will follow. But I m still catching some and it s a fun way to catch them.

From Beech Johnsonville area, Kentucky Lake becomes more of a serious largemouth destination. Some number of tributaries, as well as the Duck River, add their goes and form intriguing backwaters. In the meantime, the major body opens enough to offer good-quality largemouth habitat, particularly in cuts just off the Tennessee River channel and in eddies behind islands. Bass densities still are lower in general than in the northern half of the Tennessee part of Kentucky Lake, as indicated by Broadbent. But, populations tend to be more consistent from one year to the next in this part of the lake. (gameandfishmag.com)

Bob looks for bass shallow, about five feet deep, particularly when there s a little algae bloom. But when the river s clear the bass will be deeper. I can typically find bass on stumps in the creeks, usually near the mouth. I also find them on steep slopes. I don t know why, however it can be that baitfish hang around because of some underwater eddies I can t see. When I used to dive Bob is a former mussel diver, I d find places that break real fast into a bluff or steep bank, then come back out, and eddies form there and the eddies hold food for bass.

The hard winter kept most fishermen off the lake in mid January, however the brief, bearable warm spells were kind to the few who went. Crappie should begin to bite in the 18-24 foot range as they become more active as March wears on. Slow trolling with minnows is your best bet. Seek out ledges that have crappie suspended over them. Good electronics are a must. We could see an early spawn as the full moon is on the 23rd. It just depends on the weather. Bass fishermen could be told to concentrate on main and secondary points with slow moving lures like jig and craw or suspending jerkbaits. (mshfn.com)

    Lake levels are comparatively stable. Elevation at Kentucky Dam is 355. 6 and up somewhat form last week now. Upstream at New Johnsonville elevation was projected to be 355. 1 in the next few days. Those readings are some inches above the low ebb of winter pool but pretty much on track as to TVA’s curve for reservoir levels throughout late March. (parislanding.com)

Paris Landing State Park, located in Henry county Tennessee, is beyond doubt a great choice to host such an event as the American Bass Anglers national championship. The park itself has some great buildings; the campground sits inside walking distance to the water, the ramps are plentiful and well maintained and the marina store offers ice and other necessities also as fuel. The park also offers a hotel located just across the street from the ramps, the rooms are big and most offer a view of the lake. The restaurant located inside the hotel offers great buffet style dinners at reasonable prices. (probass.net)

Most inland trout streams in the neighborhood are in good fishing form, but some of the bigger creeks are running a bit high and swift. There’s still not much bug activity except for occasional hatches of blue-winged olives and hendricksons. The most of action is below the surface on nymphs like stoneflies, scuds, pheasant tails and caddisflies. Small streamers and buggers work also. Productive offerings for spinning anglers include worms, salted minnows and small inline spinners. If you’re a catch-and-release angler and use spinners, it’s good practice to outfit your spinners with a single hook rather than a treble hook. (dongasaway.wordpress.com)

From its origin in North Carolina at the confluence of the Toe and Cane Rivers, the “Chucky”, as the locals call it, comes out of the rugged mountains into the calm town of Erwin, Tennessee. Our trips begin from here and work their way down river towards Limestone, Tennessee. From the town of Erwin, the river changes character considerably. The Chucky goes from being a fast flowing narrow gorge to wider softer flowing water and continues toward the French Broad River and sooner or later into Douglas Lake. (foscoefishing.com)
