This tip gives 42 exact coordinates of ledges that fish get on at watts bar. Some of the places will only get small groups of fish while others will get large groups of fish. About half of the waypoints consistently have fish in the summertime while the other half gets fish only sometimes. This tip also gives a list of my favorite ledge baits

FishTips is a fishing information platform built to maximize the success of your fishing trips! Connect directly with dialed-in digital fishing guides for hyper-current digital guiding, training, & fishing reports!
FishTips began with fishing guides and top tournament anglers posting tips that were detailed game plans on exactly how they would guide someone. Guides take anglers to fishing spots on every trip, so creating a digital version of a guide trip on FishTips was a natural way for guides to guide, train, and educate even more anglers online. Perhaps their boat broke down, had a bad weather day, or it was the offseason, the FishTips platform attracted hundreds of digital fishing guides that wanted to provide their same high level of customer experience and deep knowledge of their fisheries in a digital format to help even more anglers! As we grew, we received feedback from both digital guides and customers for other types of informative fishing products to help anglers stay up to date on their fisheries or learn new places to fish. We are excited to now offer premium subscription channels for the latest fishing updates and hyper-current fishing reports. FishTips also has training videos for digital guides to share in-depth videos on exactly how they approach a fishery or how they break it down before they even get there.

Are you catching any on rattle traps? if so what type and color
Response from guide
Hey Kevin, yes a rattle trap has been good on the main lake bars and the back of the creeks for schooling fish. On the main lake bars, a 5/8 ounce Yo Zuri rattlin vibe in sexy Shad, citrus Shad, and ghost pearl Shad has been good. In the back of pockets, a 3/8 ounce rattlin vibe has been better in the same colors
