My name is Todd, and it looks like I'm going to be moving to the Nashville area.  I have been fishing all of my life.  Most of it has been here in Michigan, on the Great Lakes and Lake St. Clair.  Lake St. Clair is practically in my back yard, and is arguably one of the best smallmouth fisheries around.  I have done a little fishing in southern resevoirs, but not much in this area.  I have my own boat, and it is set up with pole holders, downriggers, planner board mast, electric motor, the works.  I have my own equipment, just looking for a possible new fishing buddy that might know the area and the tactics.  I would appreciate any help I could get,

Thanks,

Todd

Hey guys, I am packing the truck now, I will have my boat in TN the first of March.  If anyone needs a ride, and knows a little about the lakes or rivers in the area, I'm will to take m boat and gear.  I have fished resevoirs before, and have what I think is what is needed, but that is the help I'm looking for.

Todd sorry no one has answered you but welcome to Tenn! We are glad to have you join us and I know you will love it here.

Welcome to Tn. Todd. I have never fished in Nashville. If you ever get to Johnson City, About two hours away, Call me and we can fish either Boone lake or Watauga Lake. Contact me at Ted Johnson, 423-794-8683, or eagles840@hotmail.com.

welcome to tn my friend i am also from michigan as well as my fishing partner, we live a few hours away, from the nashville area but if u cant find any info or help we would be happy to lend some local knowledge just reply back if interested and as always great fishin to you

Thanks for the welcome.  Are you located in Eastern or Western Tn?  I have done a little looking around here at the accesses and lakes, but have not been out yet.  That is something I hope to correct soon.  I have my own boat (19' Starcraft) set up for all kinds of fishing and a little float boat that I used on the Pere Marquette for salmon in the fall.  I have heard that there are a few Muskie around, but few and far between.  I have fished Cumberland and Cherokee in Tn, and Laurel in Ky,  Cumberland and Cherokee the tarket was stripers and hybrids, in Laurel, mostly bass and trout.  Which part of MI are you from?  Hope to hear from you soon.

So Todd you moved to the Nashville area correct? If so I can't help you as I'm on the eastern end of the state but welcome to Tennessee bro.
