On April 22, 2013 Nickajack lake is up and very stained . The water temperature is 64 degrees on the river and 68 degrees in the backwater.
Crappie - The crappie fishing is on fire right now with big numbers and big fish being caught around culverts and rock. The bait of choice is bobby garland grubs in white and chartreuse with a 1/16 oz head . The key is a slow retrieve on a two count .
Bass- The bass fishing is up and down with fish going on bed and some still staging. Fish are being caught around wood and isolated cover on lizards and plastics. There are some better fish being on the river still but they are few and far between. The river fish are being caught on jigs and crankbaits and rattlebaits.
Good luck and good fishing!
