Striped Bass
If you're targeting striped bass near Camden, Tennessee, you'll be focused on the renowned Kentucky Lake. The tailwaters below Kentucky Dam can be especially productive, drawing stripers that are feeding on disoriented baitfish. Spring is the best time to target spawning stripers as they move up the river. The fall offers excellent fishing as well when they are actively feeding before the water cools down. Pay attention to water releases from the dam, as this can concentrate fish and trigger feeding frenzies. Live shad is a top bait, but large swimbaits and crankbaits also produce. Be aware of the strong currents in the tailwater area, and always wear a life jacket. Several public boat ramps provide access to the river below the dam, but parking can be limited during peak seasons. Local guides can provide invaluable insight into current conditions and productive techniques.
