Wow, now there's a lake from my past! I used to live in Mt. Juliet, TN off Cooks Rd. I was less than ten minutes from three ramps. This time of year we fished the off river side of the milfoil beds and the back side of the islands. Lot of good spawners caught out of Spring Creek (east of hwy 109 on the south side of the lake). Spinner baits, spinner baits and did I mention, spinner baits. White and chartreuse with nickle colorado/willow combinations #3 and #4 respectively, with white 4" curl tail grub trailer.

The water is stained it has alot of really shallow coves and the water temp was 66 yesterday. Did catch one on a spinner bait but most were on a jig or a crawldad flipped into grass or boat docks
