Anyone in West Tn want to fish with me at Glen Springs tomorrow morning? I have been having some fun over there with the early morning topwater bite.

If I didn't have to work I would be there. I live 4 minutes from the lake and have only fished it 3 times this year! I have been working entirely too much!

I go to school in Memphis, and all my gear is at home in McNairy County, but if you have a rod and reel I could use and don't mind I'd love to fish in the morning.

I did go, bowhunterfanatic said he was coming but didnt wake up. I had a blast, caught 6 on topwater early and caught 6 on a Zoom Super Fluke.....All of them between 2-4 lbs.

I might go Saturday morning myself. Take the wife. That lake has some big fish. I have seen multiple 8+ come out of there.

I hit Glen Springs this morning before the scattered 10% shower parked over the lake for about an hour.

Had good luck working a KVD 1.5 around the shallows.

Decent one's on Jigs in the deeper water.

Nice fish! I miss being able to get out there during the week and being the only boat out there. Spent a lot of mornings skipping high school on that lake!

We all need to meet up there one morning. I live 10 minutes from the lake and I must confess, I am absolutely terrible there. I have never figured it out and must have some kind of mental block. I hate the place but want to learn how to fish it.

I went again with my daughters boyfriend Sat morning and we had some fun. We caught 14 bass and I caught my biggest bass I have caught from there so far, which was 6.2 lbs. I have to say I can only recall ever being skunked there one time, and my 15 yr old daughter is the one that skunked me. Im game for showing any of you guys how I fish Glen, just let me know when and I will meet you.

Unlike most people, I really liked it 3-5 yrs ago, when the grass was thick and grew deep. I've caught numerous 4-8 lb fish out of there, fishing deep grass in 15-25 ft of water. I have caught some decent fish out there this year, though.

It's all in the angle of the dangle of your worm in the water....:D

Yes you have but we've never been together and I'm a slow learner apparently.

I'm pretty sure the deer heard around Glen Springs Lake have been hit with CWD a.k.a. Blue Tongue. Just in the last few weeks I have seen two bucks floating dead out there and one of them was a mature buck with a very nice chocolate rack. If anyone wants pics of them just PM me your number and I will text them to you

Probably EHD since they are in water. But a buddy of mine found a nice 8 out there a few weeks ago.

I doubt the deer you have seen floating are CWD... one of the Deer I saw floating a buddy of mine turned him over, single bullet wound a little far back, and in the gut.

Authorities (TWRA GW) have been notified.... I dont know of a second one that was found floating

I have been a few times, but haven't done that well. I've been with mossyhorns, and he knows the lake pretty well. He probably has it rigged in his favor! $\:D$

My brother and I went a few years ago and caught several different fish (crappie, bass, bream and catfish) on a pink firetiger roostertail. I didn't do near as well.

Maybe I need to give it another shot!
