Fresh Chickamauga Lake Fishing Reports

Over 60 white and yellow bass were caught and the largest were kept. Several crappie and a small largemouth were caught as well. The biggest crappie (to 13.5 inches) were kept. All fish were taken by pushing and pulling jigs and crankbaits in 16-24 foot depths. The crappie fishing should only get better as lake levels and temperatures stabilize.

A short trip today yielded a few nice crappie and white bass and a couple of largemouths. Lots of small fish kept the action lively.

Got out on the water with Ryan who was in town for a few days from Colorado. After talkkng it over, we decided to go to the river and hit a pattern that’s been productive in the past. The bite was not dissapointing, with Ryan hooking uo with several quality fish. Unfortunately, the best ones got away but he still managed to rip plenty of jaws while enjoying a southern fall.

Got some beautiful crappie and white bass spider-rigging with jigs and crankbaits around shad baitballs.

Despite the advancing cold front and difficult fishing conditions the last half the trip, we managed to put some nice fish in the boat today.

A slow day for crappie, so we mixed it up with some largemouth bass, white bass, and blue catfish. All were caught spider rigging and trolling jigs and crankbaits at 15-16 foot depths on Lake Chickamauga.
