Carl Perkins Bass Classic

The water on the Tennessee River will be busy on Friday, October 9th & Saturday, October 10th. This will be when the Carl Perkins Bass Classic has more anglers on the water than bass fish can handle. The Carl Perkins Bass Classic will be hosted from Perryville Marina at mile marker 135 on Tennessee river. Since this is the lower end of the Kentucky Lake, most fisherman will be locking through to Pickwick Lake. This Average Fisherman will be heading back north to my normal spot.

Keys to winning are:

• Make sure your fish stay alive, if you are going through a lock or traveling long distances flush your live wells to keep fresh water for the fish.
• Ice your live well if you are done fishing and waiting to head to the tournament weigh in.
  
• Watch for Shad movement, food always brings the larger fish.
• Fish Ledges and shallow water early in the morning.

And of course always fish with your Fishin Tool Bag in your boat.
