[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5113865, member: 220"] I am on some local lake fishing groups on social media. Every day there’s a tournament going on out of Watts Bar and Chickamauga that they are advertising or promoting. On Chickamauga there’s multiple ones going out from various boat ramps each day. There’s not a day that goes by during the spring - early winter when there’s not one somewhere. It doesn’t ever get a break. I’m sure it’s similar on other local lakes. 98% of them are bass fishing with some catfish tourneys here and there. What I have noticed that is starting to happen in this area is that the TVA ramps have people that lease/bid on the rights of ramp. Usually this is if a campground is tied in to the property; I don’t know of any yet, that doesn’t also have a campground attached. Examples are Hornsby Hollow and Sandy Bottoms on Watts Bar. For years, Hornsby Hollow ramp was one of the most popular for tournaments. The guy that is currently over the campground and ramp, does not like bass fisherman. He’ll flat out tell you he doesn’t like them and he put a stop to all tournaments fishing out of there. So the people that had been having tournaments there, had to relocate. [/QUOTE]
