Gregory Smith

Member since July 2022 Harrison, United States

Background: I am a Ph.D. Research Marine Biologist with over 40+ years of fishing, boating, and research experience. I have been successfully fishing oceans, lakes, and rivers all over the world and here in Tennessee for the past 5 years.
Techniques: One of my favorite fishing techniques involves trolling with planer boards with both live and artificial baits. I find that this method produces a better quantity, quality, and variety of species. Generally it allows me to have up to 6 simultaneous bait presentations which means more fish in the boat for you!! When the situation calls for it, I also rely upon jigging and casting strategies.

Raw Day

We picked the best of four different forecasts today and got the worst. Cloudy and cold, but we still eked out a few fish.

A beautiful day on Lake Chickamauga yielded a variety of species, including some nice 13-14 inch crappie. All fish were trolled using jigs and crankbaits trolled at 12-16 foot depths over submerged creek flats in 18-20 FOW.

It was a pleasure meeting and fishing with you and Jay, and I’m happy that we caught a some fish despite the changing weather conditions. I’m sure that your proficiency with spider-rigging had something to do with that. All the best with your future fishing experiences.

The bite was a little off, but we still caught fish. Greg has clearly researched and spent time on these waters to know the hot spots and find the fish. It was a good day on the water and a good day of fishing.

It was such a pleasure fishing with both of you. Though the bite was slow, I’m glad Ryder landed that striper, a very unusual catch for this part of the lake.

Thanks for the review and I hope to see you again when fishing conditions are more auspicious. I was glad Silas got his catfish and bass, even though on the smaller side.
