[QUOTE="tellico4x4, post: 5724500, member: 2474"] Back in August when it was hotter than blue blazes the catfish bite was pretty good below Wheeler Dam. Twelve year old grandson & I would fish from daylight until about 10:00. One day leaving we helped a couple of older gentlemen whose transmission gave out on ramp pulling boat out. They had fished there for decades & gave us a few tips, one was their favorite spot against the powerhouse where one of turbines discharges. Next trip grandson started in on me about going there. I wasn't comfortable about it but after two hours of slow fishing I gave in. They were running a couple turbines about 150-200 yards from where we were which created a backwash. We tied off to the "DANGER" sign as the guys had told us & first 3-4 casts grandson made back in the hole yielded a fish each time. I didn't fish as I was nervous as could be and had my hands full trying to keep the backwash from pushing boat back into the hole. After 15-20 minutes of beating motor cowling against the concrete I told him we had to get out of there. I'll never try that again as it scared the crap out of me the whole time. [/QUOTE]
