Percy Priest...where Are The Fish?

Featured Replies

  I have been doing almost all my fishing here and until about 3 weeks ago having alot of success.  I have been trying all kinds of different soft baits that usually I have alot of success with, but cant even get a bite right now.  I do all my fishing from the bank so my options are limited.  I have been fishing at Fate Sanders Marina but it seems like the fish have moved out to deeper water.  Any recommendations on where to fish or where they may be hanging?

Try fishing near the bridge on bluff wall side if you can.  The channel runs along it, you should be able to walk around there.  If not there you should be able to walk through the woods where the cut in the bluff wall is.  You can also go in to stewarts creek or Jefferson creek but they are usually pretty crowded.

Thanks for the reply, I have been hitting that bluff wall and the bridge a couple times here recently with no luck.  The water there is around 30 ft deep in that channel.  I have been bouncing a jig off the bottom with no luck. I thought about trying to swim a smaller jig maybe 1/4 oz with a brush hog or craw trailer around the 15ft range.

I've caught some fish there and off the bridge pilings in the past with a dropshot.  Try throwing a small swimbait (Big Hammer 1/4oz head) parallel to the bluff wall or a crankbait.
