Hello everyone. I asked a few questions in another thread about a few of the bigger lakes in middle tn. I was just wondering if there were any other smaller lakes in middle tn that provide good bass fishing. If anyone is willing to share some of there good spots I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks and hope everyone is well.

Well, normally i don't like to give up info on my favorite hot spots around middle tn, but to someone who serves our country it is a must. My number one place to fish is Portland city lake, cats out of the bag now. On a serious note, that lake holds some monsters if you know how to catch em. It is an electric only lake, so no outboards.Best part about the lake is all the locals are bucket fisherman fishing for catfish and don't believe in artificial bait. i go there at least 3-4 times a month,sometimes more and as much as i go i have never seen another bass fisherman ( besides a few friends i have told) my PB came from that lake weighing 8.9lbs. This year i have caught about 15 that were over 5lbs. Just make sure to slip the fish back in the water so the bank fishermen don't see haha, because i know they will eat anything that swims.It would for sure be worth the drive from franklin for a day of fishing.

There is amazing fishing at Montgomery Bell parks.  Same thing, electric only.  Crappie are crazy there.

Thank both of you so much. I really appreciate it. I will let you know how it goes.
