In March on Nickajack lake or almost anywhere on the Tennessee River system you can throw a one knocker Rayburn red trap or a strike king thunder cricket and have one of the best days of fishing of your life.

Drove around trying to find shad around seagulls but to no avail. I switched and started paralleling rip rap with chatter bait. Caught fish in 5 feet of water where there was a slight rounded point protruding from rip rap. I caught another bass about 100 yards down bank on Alabama rig. TVA was filling reservoir up as water was flowing into cove as I passed under bridge. Had another bass follow my rattle trap on grass flats.

Looking for spawning bass. Found them in the 3 foot range. Caught first fish on chatterbait then switched to lizard. Fish would kill it then pick up lizard and drag off bed. Fished jerkbait on deeper banks with brush and boat docks. Last fish came off old road bed. Ended up with 8 fish for 13 lbs and change.
