Weekly Fishing Reports for Percy Priest Lake
Fishing on Percy priest this past week has been great for most species. Great numbers & great size as a matter of fact. Most fish are in that feeding stage right before they go into the summer time pattern for good.
Bass Fishing has been gteat this past week. If you like to night fish, then prime time is here. Day time fishing has also bee good in the morning tapering off in the after noon and then turning back on at nite. Best baits recently have been the carolina rig and the crankbait in the day time. At night, let just say pick up a hook and throw it and you still can catch a fish. Its been that easy. Best depth have been anywhere from one foot on out to 15 foot of water.
Crappie Fishing has been above normal. Trolling and spider rigs have been great or just slip out into deeper water and find schools of crappie and load the boat up when you do find one. Best baits being used are minnows & tube baits fishing around 10-20 foot of water.
Rockfish / Hybrid fishing has been below normal with a lot of numbers being caught early in the morning. On the cloudy days is your best bet to go unless you go after them at nite. Best baits have been the hp jerk shad fished slow near points & ledges.
Yellow Bellies have produced well lately, but very deep for us when you do find them. Best bait to use have been the spoon fished in 10-20 foot of water.
Catfishing has been excellent lately. Great numbers and sizes all over. Jugs & trotlines have been working well using just about anything. Catch them while you can, they will be headed deep soon. Best depths have been from the shallows on out to 10 foot of water.
