Hey Guys,

 

It looks like I will be in Nashville for business in early December.  I was considering staying a few extra days and hiring a guide to take me out for some bass fishing.  I don't mind driving a few hours for a good lake and getting a hotel room.  I have never been to TN and would like to experience the bass fishing.  I had a couple of questions and was hoping you guys could help...

 

1) Is the bass fishing still decent/good in early December?  Is it worth staying a few extra days?

 

2) Any suggestions on a lake and guide?  I see Chickamauga and Dale Hollow are only a few hours away.

 

Thanks!  

 

   

If you were willing to go to as far as Dale Hollow...then I would go to Pickwick.

Percy Priest is very close and would probably be good.

Center Hill is also a good lake thats close....and Tims Ford.

Tennessee has an 18inch limit on smallies and there has been a resurgence on almost all the lakes because of this.

Early December is just starting to get good 

Nashville is surrounded by good waters to fish. If you want to hire a guide, Mid South Guides Captain Jake 615-613-2382

Jake only fishes Normandy, Woods, Nickajack, and Guntersville. Very reasonable prices and he will put you on fish.

Well worth spending a few extra days!
