Help an Old hickory Rookie

[noahtn]

I'm looking to get out to Old Hickory this weekend to try and catch some largemouth. I've never fished it before so looking for some advice. Where do I want to load and fish? My hanks in advance.

Closest for you would be to put in at shutes branch. Shoot across lake and head upstream to drakes creek.

Not to derail thread, but living in Lebanon and usually loading at Davis Corner, would it be more feasible to pull the boat to Hendersonville or boat there from Davis Corner?

It depends. What drinks more gas, your boat or your truck?

Definitely the truck. LOL! 5.7 Hemi vs 90HP Johnson.

I guess my thinking is more along the lines of distance in a boat. My boat runs like a top and has never let me down. However, a previous boat left me stranded a LONG way from the dock about 7-8 years ago. After fishing all day I didn't have enough TM to get me back and had to paddle. I guess it did something to my thinking because I've been leery to go way out in a boat ever since.

I guess I answered my own question. LOL!
