Old Hickory Lake has been producing trophy bass for decades, and now we're sharing the secrets that tournament anglers have used to dominate these Tennessee waters. This complete lake breakdown represents months of research using Google Earth®, Garmin® HD Contours, and other professional mapping tools to pinpoint every structure that holds bass throughout the seasons. We've identified the submerged timber along the Cumberland River channel, the rocky points near the dam, and those deep creek channel swings where the big ones love to ambush baitfish.
Our GPS waypoints package covers every inch of Old Hickory Lake bass fishing territory, from the shallow flats near Gallatin to the deep water structure around the main lake points. You'll receive precise coordinates for brush piles, ledges, offshore humps, drop-offs, and those hidden attractors that most anglers never find. The detailed mapping includes creek channel swings where bass stage during seasonal transitions, timber lines that produce year-round, and rocky structure that consistently holds quality fish. This isn't just a collection of random spots – it's a strategic fishing hotspots guide that reveals why certain areas produce and when to fish them.
When you purchase our Old Hickory Lake breakdown, you'll receive both .gpx and .kml files that import seamlessly into your fishing graphs and GPS units, making it simple to navigate directly to each waypoint. These same files can be viewed in our Simplistic Fishing mobile app or loaded into Google Earth® for detailed pre-fishing preparation. Whether you choose the instant digital download or prefer the convenience of our pre-loaded SD Card shipped via USPS, you'll have everything needed to unlock this Tennessee bass fishing gem.

On-the-Water Safety
On-the-Water Safety
Waypoints mark fishing structure, not safe travel routes. Brush piles, humps, ledges, rock, and attractors are exactly the kind of things a boat can hit. Many of the best spots sit in shallow or timber-filled water — idle in, watch your depth, and never run a straight line between waypoints at speed.
- You are the captain. Keep a proper lookout and run at a safe speed for the conditions, especially at night or in low light.
- GPS data can't guarantee obstacle clearance. Lake levels and structure change; a waypoint shows where something is, not that the water around it is safe.
- Looking for safe boat routes? Our Guide Lanes are verified navigation paths for select Texas lakes.
