Hidden gem!

I’ve lived on Pegram lake for about 12 years now and I hate to let the secret out but there is some monster bass here. In the evenings the entire lake is is nothing but topwater blowups from the yearlings chasing wild golden shiners. I have caught several 3-4lb chunks and a couple 6lb largemouth bass just in the few months of this summer. All in all Pegram lake is an amazing lake but keep in mind it is private so if you are uninvited YOU WILL GET RAN OFF!! Love y’all🤘🏻tight lines!

The thing that I’ve come to know with new river is that it comes with a variety of fish, I love this river because it is quite literally right by my house and I get to fish it just about every day and whenever it rains, the river flows new fish into the water, which gives me new variety every time a storm comes through… Whether it’s flathead catfish or red breast sunfish one thing is for sure. You always have a good time in this body of water!
