Can someone fishing Old Hickory lake in Hendersonville Tn give me a few pointers. I am just really starting to fish since fishing with my dad about ten years ago. I was doing decent in the spring but the last several times I have been out folks I cant even buy a bite. One of my big problems is I really only fish about 3-4 hours a week so I dont get to really get a good pattern going so I have you just go with my gut and boy has it been wrong lately. Anyway I live closer to the lower end of the lake but would drive just about anywhere or put in close and run my boat up to a good spot. I don't tournament fish I just fish mainly for my sanity and to relieve some stress. Any way any advice on location and technique would be very helpful. Thanks

Go  to flippers tackle just off route 109 and hook up with some locals while fishing the cove out front plenty of fish in that cove.

Check this COE website for temps and general conditions: http://www.lrn.usace.army.mil/pao/lakeinfo/OLD.htm

The water temp has remained pretty stable, especially considering how late in the year its getting and the number of fronts that have come through.

If all else fails, go shallow on Old Hickory......
