smallmouth hole up in certain spots on the Harpeth and its tributaries during the winter. If you find a good spot you can catch em all winter longNumberOne":11j0d653 said:CATCHDAWG":11j0d653 said:I am ready for warm weather and hungry fish. Man I need some river time!
I have always fished a creek that dumps into the Harpeth (About 5 to 10 miles away) during the Summer months and can catch them really well. Have ventured out in January to same creek and its a waste land. You don't even see them. I can start catching them around March but not near the numbers. Come mid April its like a light switch comes on and you can wax them. I am sure during the winter months they find deeper holes but will they move large distances to find these holes?

What is a jack salmon ?
I couldn't help it, I went out today. River was 8 ft above normal height, so me and a buddy went and hit a couple creek mouths where the water was backed up in the creeks.bwgarrett3":2a40wpm3 said:catman529":2a40wpm3 said:I hear you.

I love wading the rivers for smallies too. Got out of it for a few years but I think this is the year I'll get back into it. Got some float tubes I'll be using. We used to use spring lizards years ago. Nothing caught the smallies better!
