Arjeje Loc: Cherokee Lake, Morristown, Tennessee
 
I made some outriggers, and I put a trolling motor and battery in my kayak so that I do not have to paddle. I can now get much further away from the boat ramp in order to find the fish. I have not been able to find any fish when leaving from Panther Creek. Any help that you might give would be highly appreciated. For example, as I come out into the main lake, if I turn right, how far would I have to go to find the proper bay that has weeds or grassbeds. I’m thinking that all of the people that win the bass tournaments are not fishing in the areas that I am! It seems that every place I fish is either a rock or clay bottom. I’ve been fishing five times per week from either Panther Creek, or Cedar Hill, and all I have gotten were a couple of catfish, which were quite tasty. But I would prefer to catch some bass for the sport of it, and some walleye, or similar, in which to eat. Do any of you have any advice for me?

I caught some bass around the coves at Noe's Creek boat ramp. It's about 4 to 5 miles up from cedar Creek. Alot of yak guys launch from there.

You need to get you a good map or an application on your phone of the lake. That way you can learn about your lake and pin point likely spots to fish. Good luck.

I went to Noe’s Creek boat ramp today, but the wind was a constant 10 kn and all I spent my time doing was fighting the wind with my paddle, trolling motor, anchor… And getting my two lines mixed up with each other… It was very frustrating. I’ll give it another try tomorrow

I usually always launch from there. I basically focus on stripers and hybrids.

I’ve never fished for stripers (I was a bass fisherman when I moved to the Virgin Islands back in 98), where do you target them? And I’m guessing that like most fish they will hit anything that looks appetizing…something that triggers a bite. At what depth do you find them? I googled stripers and found a lot of information on them, but it seems that salt water is their norm? How did they get into Cherokee lake? Stocking?

They routinely stock stripers in Cherokee. In summer they tend to congregate near the dam, holding at depths around 60 feet. I have the most success with live shad. As temps cool down they start moving upstream towards the steam plant near Rogersville. In cooler mornings they sometimes hit top water plugs. They hard part is finding them when they start moving. If you like bass fishing you also have Douglas lake. Leadvale access is great place to launch a kayak. It near white pine off Leadvale Rd.

You can tell when you hook a hybrid. Pulls like a freight train and fights like a fish twice it's size.
