[QUOTE="Crow Terminator, post: 5203699, member: 220"] Everybody knew about it before the guy drowned. It was just such a hassle to get to with a boat that not a lot of people fooled with going. The kayak fishing explosion/popularity made it easier for people to access it without having a boat and the internet/YouTube, etc put it on the map for non locals to find. Don’t forget about TVA draining it too (can’t remember the exact yr but its not been too long ago). The bigger quality fish all came before they drained it. Now it’s choked full of numbers of fish all the same general size. I like going up there for catching numbers of fish. I don’t like eating them though and throw all of them back. I took some home to try and wasn’t particularly fond of them but they are fun to catch. With that said I fished it several times last year and only saw 2 other boats the entire time and was only there on Saturdays. When I go there I make a day trip of it too. Maybe I just got lucky and hit it right. The last time I went, I was the only person there and I fished from about 1 pm until dark. If you want to see a real circus, go to Dayton boat ramp or Wolftever on Chickamauga. I took off one day last week and was at the ramp before daylight. I pulled in and there was 6 trucks ahead of me in-line to launch and the parking lot was already 3/4 full of trucks and trailers that had already launched. By the time it was my turn to launch, 6-7 more were in line behind me. I asked if there was a tournament there that morning and they said no, just a normal day there. I’d hate to see it on a weekend or Friday! [/QUOTE]
