SO it takes me a good two hours to get to old hickory. but my wife and i went for my birthday this past weekend... After getting my [censored] pounded with 5 foot high waves and everything in the boat soaking wet in water (just have an aluminum open fishing boat) I decided to pull out of old hickory lake park, and ride further towards the river stayed at cedar creek campgrounds overnight... I didn't find where I wanted to fish until about dark saturday night, but it was about a 100 acre spot, close to 2'-5' in depth great cover under water and good shade over... Fished it hard until dark with only one fish caught.
I went back out to that spot again the following morning to see what would happen there in the morning time, I figured the water was just too hot, even in the evening. In the morning, not even a bite... well I found another cove under a bridge, prolly the next cove up from my previous "great spot" but I didn't get there til around noon... OK so at NOON in about 2'-3' of water, I was NAILING the bass on a WACKY WORM, with no weights, not even a jig head, just letting it float on a hook, Then my wife started catching them on a texas rig... SO we were on top and bottom catching fish in the shallow water with the wrong stuff... I thought that the fish go deep when it is hot?

Nah, you didn't fish it wrong. You fished it wrong for big fish. Surprised you didn't get in to the stripe in that spot. It usually holds a lot of them. It's about 5 mins. from my house. But the left bank before the bridge is a notorious summer bank for good fish.

stripe is a white bass from what I understand.
And a striper is a true striped bass. I know that for sure

Well I did catch around a two pounder, which happens to be my biggest fish, I haven't caught a monster yet, I'm still waiting for my chance.
