Percy Priest: Crappie have moved out of spawning areas and can be fround around deeper structure. Some anglers have already began trolling for the, but that fishing should only improve through the summer.
-Bluegill fishing is good. Fish shallow areas, shallow points, or coves with crickets or tiny plastic baits and jigs.
-Hybrids and stripers are being caught extremly early in the a.m. until a tad after sunset, according a few anglers.

On Priest, bluegill are biting in large numbers. Go to coves and look for bedding bluegill in water that is 2 to 6 feet deep. You can fish crickets, worms, or small plastic baits. A good method is to fish small plastic grubs below light bobbers on light line and twitch the bobber every few seconds. Wait for the hit.
Water temps on both lakes is a tad under 70 degrees. Probably hitting 70 by the end of the day with air temps. now reaching 80 plus degrees in Middle Tennessee.
