What is a good color for up on the Tennessee River this time of year on Nickajack? Red or Green Pumpkin?    Thanks in advance winter fishing is tough, but still fun ?

 

 

Ain’t fished nickajack much but I don’t like either one of those colors haha. I’m a purple, black, and/or blue kind of guy. Or any bait that moves I like white 

 Thanks for info ? We got a club tournament up there and I don't have a clue. ? Appreciate it maybe the fish head spins in white will work with keitech paddle tails. ?

Hahah! The water is actually faily clear up here in Knoxville so green pumpkin may be ok. But that is subject to change between now and Saturday! 

  The way its raining here in NGA now and wind blowing wish they would cancel it . lol   I am sure it will be tough sledding ?   Bad day of fishing still beats a good day of working though. ?

Are you launching anywhere on the upper end? People are catching big smallies up that way but then again they always do, just few and far between for keepers . Also there’s lots of spots up there to maybe fill a limit then go for monsters

 Yeah on upper end you got any secret baits for up that way? A-rig, NEd Rig or Jerkbaits ?

I sure don’t but plenty of spots are caught cranking along the rip rap below the dam. You might have to sort through a lot of drum to find the big bass haha. I think the big smallies are always biting there but it’s usually 1 or maybe 2 if you’re lucky
