Fishing out of River Park

[wweaver]

Does anyone ever do any good up in the Chickamauga creek area. I have tried it several time in the spring and have never caught anything past the 1st 100 yrds.

I have caught a few farther up but never anything but small fish. Don't know why but I keep trying.

Yeah its never that good for me either. You could always find some bluegill on a nightcrawler, but that may not excite you!

I've only caught small bass, as far up as green way farms

Just small ones for me too.

During Bassfest a few years ago, They had a "redemption" day, where they sent the guys who didnt make the final day cut to Nickajack, with the winner of that day earning a spot in the final day of competition. I cant remember who it was, but a guy sat in the mouth of South Chick creek. and sacked em up that morning, including a 9+ to earn his way back into the final day of competition. He was using a texas rigged worm.

nice tip, was the current over a 100000cfs? stained or muddy?

Skylar Hamilton, he was 19 at the time and sacked up almost 26lbs that day. He blew away the field! 2nd was only 17lbs. It was impressive!
