Post Spawn Bass Fishing On Lake Chickamauga!

Jump in the boat with Tim for an awesome day on the water! Tim targets fish with swimbaits, chatterbaits, and finesse baits, as conditions change throughout the day. Lake Chickamauga is a vast fishery that is ever-changing. At one end of the lake Tim is faced with clear water and finesse conditions, but at the other end, he power fishes in muddy water for big bass.

Lake Chickamauga is a world renowned lake for good reason. It's packed with bass! However, it's also packed with anglers, as most great fisheries are. As a result, you'll see Tim adapting his techniques throughout the day as he tries to fool these educated bass into biting. It doesn't take long for a successful pattern to emerge and Tim quickly loads the boat with quality bass.

Below you'll find links to all the baits and gear Tim used through the day. We've included his exact colors, trailers, as well as the rod and reel combos he used to fish the baits effectively.
