Top Catches This Season

Let me tell you, the bass fishing in Tennessee has been on fire lately! We've been seeing some monster Largemouth coming in, with quite a few in the 5-7 pound range. The Smallmouth action has been just as hot, especially in some of our cooler, rockier spots. And don't sleep on the Spotted Bass – these fighters have been giving our anglers a run for their money. We've been having the most luck with soft plastics and crankbaits, but every day is different out here. That's the beauty of it – you never know when that next big hit is coming. Our guests have been leaving with some serious bragging rights and photos to prove it. Trust me, you'll want to get in on this action while it's hot!

Species You'll Want to Hook

Largemouth Bass: These bad boys are the kings of Tennessee waters. They love to hang out near structure – think fallen trees, weed beds, and dock pilings. Largemouth can grow to impressive sizes here, with some topping 10 pounds. They're known for their aggressive strikes and powerful runs, making them a favorite among anglers. Spring and early summer are prime times to target them, but we catch 'em year-round. There's nothing quite like feeling that tug and seeing a big ol' bucket mouth break the surface!

Smallmouth Bass: If you're after a true fighter, Smallmouth Bass are your ticket. These bronze beauties prefer cooler, moving water with rocky bottoms. They might not get as big as their Largemouth cousins, but pound for pound, they'll give you one of the best fights in freshwater fishing. Fall is a killer time for Smallies, but they bite well in spring and summer too. When a Smallmouth hits your lure, hold on tight – they're known for aerial acrobatics that'll have you grinning from ear to ear.

Spotted Bass: Often overlooked, Spotted Bass (or "Kentuckies" as we sometimes call 'em) are the dark horse of Tennessee bass fishing. They're like a mix between Largemouth and Smallmouth in both looks and fight. Spots love clear, moving water and can often be found in schools. They might not grow as large as the other two, but what they lack in size, they make up for in numbers and feistiness. Late spring and early summer are great for targeting Spots, and they're a blast on light tackle. Don't be surprised if you catch more than you can count!

And let's not forget the stories – every trip seems to produce that one tale that gets told and retold for years to come. Whether it's the one that got away or the personal best someone landed, these memories are what it's all about.
