Can the fishing at Old Hickory Lake actually get any worse? I have been fishing around here for 10 years, almost EVERY DAY, while I made this show. I have to say, the fishing at Old Hickory Lake is the worst its ever been. I've gone to multiple parks on this lake lately, and the fishing is just terrible. Today I manage to catch 3 bluegill in about 3 hours... and I lost a skipjack as well. But that's it! All of these fishing spots used to produce bass, catfish, and panfish. But over the last few years the fishing has really declined. Try fishing here for the slowest fishing day of your life. #tennessee #fishing
