Percy Priest Lake Fishing Report 4-12-09

Weekly Fishing Reports for Percy Priest Lake

Fishing this past week has been tougher than usually due to some heavy rains and then several tornados on Friday. On a rating from 0-10, I would give this week a 4. Give it a couple days to settle and things should be back to normal.


Water Temp. - 54 degrees
Water Level - 488.8

Percy Priest Lake Fishing Report 4-5-09

Weekly Fishing Reports for Percy Priest Lake

Fishing on Percy priest this past week has been above average for all species. Great numbers and size on all species. Local bass tournaments have been winning with a combined catch of 20-25 pounds. I apologize for not being on time with the reports. Its a tough time of year for us, due to fishing season and turkey season in full swing.

Bass Fishing has been great for some anglers that have been spending their time on the water. Best baits recently have been the hoppys spinnerbait or the hp Speedster spinnerbait, jig-n-pig when conditions have been tough, and the hp stick bait. Best depth have been anywhere from the shallows on out to 12 foot of water.

Crappie Fishing has been great recently with some big slabs been caught. Expect most of these fishing to spawn with in the next couple of weeks. Best baits being used are minnows & tube baits fishing around 4-12 foot of water.

Rockfish / Hybrid fishing has been above normal with a lot of numbers being caught early in the morning. On cloudy days the bite will last a couple hours longer. Best baits have been the hp jerk shad and spinnerbaits fished in 4-10 foot of water.

Yellow Bellies have produced well lately but speradic. Best baits are the spoon and live minnows. Expect these fish to be moving up over the next several days.
