Striped Bass
If you're looking to tangle with some hard-fighting striped bass in Tennessee, consider a trip to Pikeville. The primary target is Chickamauga Lake, a Tennessee River impoundment renowned for its thriving striper population. Spring and fall are prime times, as the stripers move shallow to feed and spawn. During the warmer months, focus on deeper water near the river channel and main lake points. Trolling with large crankbaits or live bait rigs is a productive method. Local tip: Check the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) generation schedule, as striper activity often increases during and after periods of water release. Public access is readily available at several boat ramps around the lake, including the popular Chester Frost Park. Pikeville offers a fantastic opportunity to target trophy-sized stripers in a scenic setting. Be sure to have your Tennessee fishing license and familiarize yourself with any specific regulations for Chickamauga Lake.
