Watts Bar report 4/24-4/27

[mess]

Nice report. Did you happen to spend any time on the next lake down..Chickamauga?? Was there a few years ago after they had killed alot of the weeds. Was wondering if the weeds are back. At the the time, we had better luck on Chick with the bite for bass being tough on watts bar. Just curious...

didn't get down to the Chick. Yes, the weeds are back. I have heard nothing but good about the Chick this year, the fishing has been really good for both bass and crappie. Back to where it once was back in the 80's. Watts Bar bass fishing is the best it has ever been. I have been fishing this lake for over 40 years. The TDNR did a creel shocking study about 3 weeks ago and they were shocking 70 bass an hour. Normal results the past few years has been around 40 or so. Even with the terrible conditions we caught bass everywhere we went on the lake. Main, creeks, flats, way up in the creeks, it didn't matter. It was the best I have seen this lake since back in the 80's when Watts Bar had weeds too.
