Where is the best place to snag one? I have never been able to get one, but I have a rod rigged and ready for this season. I always try but always end up with a bunch of shad and carp.

It's legal below Ky dam and Barkley dam.Spoonbillmallard said:I might be wrong but last time I cheched "snagging anything below dams was illegal. There is a season for paddlefish but I don't know if its legal to snag them or not. You might want to check on that.
I've only eaten them once (a friend brought some to work), but BOY WAS IT GOOD!Hangnail said:I would suggest below Old Hickory, Cordell Hull or Cheatham dams. The Cumberland has quite a few. Used to snag a lot of floating trotlines fairly often on Old Hickory although it's been a number of years ago. The season is short and you can't cull.

If I ever get out to the hill or the caney I should look into it and see if I can give it a shot. Maybe if I am out at Rock Island again some time, where the caney forms into the hill, I could try but I have no idea if that's a good place or where to look for spoonbills. Basically I am clueless about how to find or snag them. The only snagging I've done is on buffalo sitting near the surface.
