No, I am not famliar with the area, have you tried the states boards below, someone might be able to give you some more info there. Please drop back by and let us know how you did!

Spring Hill, Tennessee is the city and state of the place where i am looking for a place to fish. The lake i got to is 2 hours away i was just wondering if there is a good place to fish closer to my house?

You'll get some good local advice there. [signature] Re: [aku94] to fish in columbia, spring hill area of tennessee? - tntitans21399 - 11-26-2007 I live in Franklin, TN and you mainly have the Harpeth River that you could try. Their is Monsanto Lake near Santa Fe (northwest) of Columbia. I see it on google maps but don't know anything about it. I go to Old Hickory Lake (hermitage, old hickory, hendersonville, gallatin area) is a river that gets water from cordnell lake. Or I will go to Percy Priest Lake (hermitage, smyrna, mt. juliet area) it is a dammed up lake a lot deeper then Old Hickory but both are good for different reason. The dam is right off I-40 eastbound and you can't miss it. You can fish on either side of the Dam by foot, below is best right after they let alot of water out, but the drought has kept below the Dam very low until lately. Old Hickory lake has the world record Smallmouth Bass. Old Hickory Lake is about 1 hour or so from Sring Hill, and the end of Percy Priest is about 45 mintues, 15 minutes past 840 and I-24 in Murfreesboro area. Your best bet is to hop on 840 and drive east and go to Fate Sanders Marina (http://fatesandersmarina.lbu.com/). It is a prime Largemouth Bass area. Or you could go 1-1.5 hrs south to Wheeler Lake in AL. But in Spring Hill or near Spring Hill their isn't any lakes. The only fishing area would have to be a river. [signature] Re: [bigfishhunter22] to fish in columbia, spring hill area of tennessee? - davetclown - 11-27-2007 I see the nearest big bodies of big water is a bit of a drive from you... "Mississippi, Kentuckey and Berkley lakes" that being noted, do you have a particular species you like to target? I know that counties do stock some of the smaller county parks around you down in Maury just south of you, I havent a clue right now as to what and where they stock, but if your intrested I can dig that information up for you... [signature] Re: [tntitans21399] to fish in columbia, spring hill area of tennessee? - davetclown - 11-27-2007 Well, I have to start up an argument here.. HEE HEE... now I think I did hear of a fish coming from old hickory lake, but I think it was disqualified because it was transported live because the guy wanted to release it, and Tenn law prohibits the transportation of live fish with out a permit... now my understanding is that the world largest smallmouth bass was taken from Dale hallow. There are two claims to the title, one from 1955 and one from 1969. Both fish are from dale hallow... Here is a link to an article I read a couple years back...

It has been my goal in life to hold the next world record small mouth bass title.... "every body has to have a goal in life" [cool] [signature] Re: [davetclown] to fish in columbia, spring hill area of tennessee? - bigfishhunter22 - 11-27-2007 If you could dig up that info for me i would be great full.
