    Lake Hickory Water level down 3ft Clarity 1-5ft This was my first time on Lake Hickory, I covered about 17 miles worth of shore line. I'll say this, the area I launched my kayak from was NOT the right spot. It was tough all day (10 hours). I only caught 3 bass all 9 inches, one was just shy of 10 inches. Tons of boats out, only saw 4 other catches, that weren't very big either. This is a tough lake, the fish are already running deeper, in the middle section of the lake. This place is deep, most docks are floating because it's still 20 ft, or more, at the walls. But there is a good mix of sand, rocks, grass...etc. I threw everything; Ned, drop shot, wacky rig, shakey head, chatterbait, spinner bait, crankbait, buzzbait, and jerkbait. I'll be back again a couple times this month gearing up for a tournament, but I'll be breaking down the lake section by section to get a more thorough idea of what this lake is showing.
