Its the Middle of February and the water surface temperature is in the mid 40's.   (what a cold winter we had this year)
Stripers  (Rock Fish) are  being caught in the tail-waters.   and in some part of  the river in 15' of water while the generators are running, Shad is the  primary bait for quality  fish.
White bass (strip bass) are  being caught on flats around  8'-10' deep on spinners or anything shiny with a hook, lots of fun....on  the upper Tennessee river and around the steam plant.
A lot of  catfish are starting to being caught in  the main lake in many areas.  Shad is the  better bait to use ( if you can find any).  Bluff  walls and docks are being targeted by a few  anglers in search of  bluegill.  Crickets are being used by most anglers.
Deep  crappie are starting to be caught while using jigs and spoons in select  areas in  the river.  Points, drops and areas where current may influence  the  crappie and give them an area to ambush bait fish are the types of   areas where crappie may be located.
Bass are being caught along  point  drops that are positioned along the main lake on one side and  shallower  water on the other side.  The side adjacent to the main  channel seems to  be the area that needs to be targeted.  Twelve feet of  water seems to  be the better depth.

If you are new to fishing you might consider hiring a fishing guide. They can also provide guidance on how to bait a hook and reel a fish in.
