Report Contributor Billy Wheat, Follow on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/riprapfishingadventures and www.riprapfishing.netChickamauga is better mid lake and down to Chester Frost as the dirty water has spread around on the main channel. The A-rig and Scope Minner and a Jerk bait has been the deal in 8-12 ft. Looking off the main points with a blade bait and heavy Minner from 12-25 is great. The bait is crucial as you graph these areas they are moving around a bunch. Seek opportunities as quickly as you can if you see them. You can check a spot then come back later and they are loaded on it. The shallow bite never ends for the power fisherman on this lake you can bust a bag in 5 feet or less any time here.

Largemouth Bass: Grass edges along the open water are the better place to find bass. Plastic worms are the best bait.
Crappie: Fish under lights at night or seek out the deeper docks during high light hours. Use minnows or jigs at night and jigs during the daylight.

Always wear your life jacket and remember to take a kid fishing.
