Whats old hickory have to offer in first week in november??? Just curious cz i qualified for aba nationals that week there n never even seen the lake except on tv!!! Lol js curious is all. My home waters are the same lattitude in the midwest n assume condtions will be similiar to here but dont kno much about her at all except that. I figure fall-winter transition depending on how the temp is in a month cz u never kno... Thnks

Unless the weather changes a lot in the next 2 weeks I would imagine the water temps will still be close to 70.  Should be getting good real soon. 

I dont see it changing too much really but its totally new to me so wel have to see. Is mostly clear water/ dirty water? Brown/bllack spotted bass lake??? Like i sd man, i have not a clue! Lol but gonna give hell!!!

Most of the time I would say the water is not clear but not dirty either.  Light stain would be the best description I guess.  Usually a ft or more of visibility, unless it rains a lot in the next couple week it should be fairly clean.  You wont catch many smallies if any, they are in there but hard to come by.  You may catch a spot or two but they will be small and not what your looking for in a tx, find some bait and focus on the largemouth.  Stay in the channels too it can get shallow very fast. 

Seen water like tht for sure man!!! 2 feet 20 feet outside bouy spells trouble real quick!!! Thnks man!!! Lookin forward to this!!!

Good luck!

Thnks man!!!
