David Walker noted yesterday that there would be a deep bite this week at Cherokee Lake, adding, “But it’s not Douglas (Lake) deep – 45 to 50 feet. It will probably be more like 30.”
David Mullins was standing beside Walker, and he was asked about the same topic. Mullins allowed a slight grin and said, “I’d say more like 45 here.”
But here’s the thing about Cherokee, according to those two pros who know the lake well: You can do whatever suits you and catch bass.
“It’s not a very big lake, but it’s like two different bodies of water,” Walker said. “From the Morristown bridge up, it’s river fishing. From there down, it’s lake fishing. A guy can fish what suits his strengths. He doesn’t get pushed into doing something he doesn’t want to do. Bill Lowen is going to find a creek that suits his style, and David Mullins is going to school us all on deep fishing.”
