Largemouth Bass
Just northeast of Nashville, Gallatin, Tennessee, is a great base for exploring the fantastic largemouth bass fishing on offer in the Cumberland River and Old Hickory Lake. Old Hickory is renowned for its healthy largemouth population and diverse habitat, including submerged timber, grass beds, and rocky points. The best time to target largemouth here is during the spring and fall, when the fish are most active. During the spawn in spring, focus on shallow bays and coves. In the fall, look for bass feeding on shad in the creeks and main lake points. A practical tip: the Drakes Creek boat ramp provides excellent access to the mid-lake area. Old Hickory largemouth are known for their aggressive strikes, especially when targeting them with topwater lures early in the morning or late in the evening. Remember to check the TWRA regulations for creel limits and size restrictions.
