I've been all over the duck river and normandy lake in Tn. I've caught three cat fish...only 2 were keepers. We've tried every bait, we've tried every rig! They just simply aren't biting right now! Frustrating

hey neighbor. We live on the duck by 82 bridge. We just moved and are doing all the things an old house needs to have done to retire in it so I've not been on the lake yet this year but run up Firelake arm to get cooler temps with oxygen. Go past the Manchester road bridge. Also, do you know where the falls are? Water temp stays low around them and this time of year get misty...

normandy. Put in a fire lake ramp, turn left and keep going past the bridge. You can almost get to powers bridge road. There is a right turn that in the winter is almost another falls, gets to about a foot deep real quick in summer. I go about anther quarter milt, stick the motor in the gravel and chill.

Ooooh I see! We usually put in at the dam, but I could definitely try the other end
