Best Fishing Times for March

Here are your best fishing times for March of 2014. Catch a big one and send us a pic.

Ruff time for fishing on Percy Priest Lake

 To say the least, Percy Priest Lake has not been very exciting the past 3-4 days. With temps hanging around the 0 degree mark, the water in the river actually froze all the way across yesterday. Here is a picture we took two days ago. I think by tomorrow, everything should be completely thawed out with mild temps during the day and not getting below the freezing mark till next week.

2014 Outdoorsman Calendar

   We have a new Sportsman`s Calendar coming out in about 3 weeks. If you would like to have your business or event in the calendar, send an email to tnfishing@rocketmail.com with your request and information.

Best Fishing Times

The best fishing days listed by the Farmers Almanac are next week. Try to wet a line next week and you will have the highest success rate of any other week this month.

Fishing Tennessee

 To cold to fish today with temps hoovering around the zero degree mark for today and tomorrow, but we did have a client out this weekend and managed to get a few bass. This one was a nice 4.5 pound largemouth bass. Weather will warm up a bit by the end of the week, so maybe this weekend fishing will be better.

Due to an abundance of christmas trees this year, the reservoir crew on J. Percy Priest Lake has installed four new deepwater fish attractors in addition to the shallow tree sites, stake beds, and fabricated structures normally maintained in this popular reservoir. Each site contains 30 christmas trees anchored to the bottom with an attached float to hold the trees upright. The trees are situated in about 20 feet of water at full pool and should provide good cover in all but the hottest months.
Since these structures are located away from shore, they will not be marked with a fish attractor buoy which could pose a navigation hazzard. Instead, anglers can locate the tree beds using their GPS units and depth finders. The new site are at the following locations:

1) Cove on the northeast side of the lake between Poole Knobs and Fate Sanders Marina.
36.05251° N
086.49754° W
2) Upstream of Bryant Grove on Northeast side:
36.07175° N
086.50670° W
3) Island between Long Hunter State Park and Bryant Grove:
36.07602° N
086.53461° W
4) Suggs Creek Area:
36.11634° N
086.56350° W

In addition to these four christmas tree sites, we have also placed several prefabricated stake beds in 14 to 16 feet of water (at full pool) around Percy Priest. Anglers can locate these structure by recognizing the telescopic markers made of two bullet shaped floats secured over a PVC pipe floating above the water surface. These markers are identified with TWRA decals.

Please bare with us. We will be updating our blog for fishing reports on Percy Priest Lake. Priest is one of the best year around lakes in TN and our blog will prove it. Thank you for your time and please visit WetlandOutfitters.com for more info and products.

Percy Priest Lake Fishing Reports 1-31-10

http://PercyPriestLakeFishingReports.blogspot.com

One word describes this past weeks reports, still Tuff. Stripe fishing did some what improve, but for the most part, fishing has been a little below average. This was due to the lake being frozen, then finally it thawed due to a ton of rain. Water temps did warm up, but the rain brought the lake level up 6 feet. Top all this off with 6 inches+ of snow and what do you get, still boat ramps that you can not even get into to go fishing.

It can only get better, and will if we can keep the water temps at least where there at. Good luck and good fishing!

Percy Priest Lake Fishing Report 1-15-10

http://PercyPriestLakeFishingReports.blogspot.com

Two words describe this past weeks reports, Tuff & Frozen. The single digit temps we have had the last couple of weeks has frozen over a lot of the lake. You can go up in the river and its frozen all the way across. I have been fishing for over thirty years and have not seen it this bad in a couple of decades. The weather is warming up some this week and everything should improve in a week or so.

My advice, stay home. If you go, the ice may scuff up your boat or you could get a chunk of ice caught between your boat and motor and cause you to get thrown out. Play it safe and stay home till next week.

Water Temp: 35 Degrees
