Josh...Welcome to the site. We don't get alot of activity or reports here on the Tn. board like the ky. board unfortunately, but we are still hoping people will share their good times and bad on the water with us or just chat. I live east of you around Cookeville and usually fish center hill and dale hollow and occassionally cordell hull. I use to fish in a club down your way that encluded old hickory and priest and a few up in my neck of the woods as well. On the hich, I usually would put in at flippers and head straight to spencer creek or the one across from it on the main channel called station camp is about the only area (besides the steam plant in the winter time ) that I have fished. There is some good grass in the back of spencer creek on the left bank as you go back out and the riff/raft bank by the bridge or road has put some pretty good fish over the rail for me as well. Seems like you are pretty familiar with the baits like the rattle trap and all...but I like to flip a blueberry or blue flake worm around also. As far as the stink hole... I have never heard of it, but it sounds like a good place. Hang in there, I am sure you will come up with a depth finder pretty soon by the sound of your zeal and enthusasim of your post. Again THANKS for your post and keep us informed on the fishing in your neck of the woods when you go. Tight lines and be safe out there on the water...283
