What would you recommend to anglers fishing in Rutledge, Tennessee for the first time?

Go early, very early and with a guide . The lake is very large and deep , the guides definitely know where to go.

The fish were in a pre-spawn mode so the bite was in the morning or in the afternoon middle of the day was dead. The captain even said that you could fish at night and they were getting good results.

Prepare to have fun as Captain Ryan knows this lake like the back of his hand!???

Don't do as I did, don't mis spell the captains name.. it Captain Bobby.. not captain Booby.. sorry. Lol

Before booking a date & time talk to the captain about the best dates & times to fish for that area.

You must book with these guys. There polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and just dam fun.
