Raccoon Mountain Pumped Storage Dam and Reservoir is a reservoir in Tennessee, near Marion County.
Raccoon Mountain Reservoir is a reservoir in Marion County, and on a first trip I would start around one short section of bank and stay there until I see enough in the first area. I would keep the opening plan simple around one nearby shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.
The useful physical figures for Raccoon Mountain Reservoir are about 528 surface acres and 36,340 acre-feet of storage, or roughly 11.8 billion gallons, giving me enough scale to decide how much territory to include while I work one manageable shoreline stretch until I get a useful answer from the first few casts.
The fishery at Raccoon Mountain Reservoir is lightly documented, so I would use a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one manageable section of water and let the first trip stay broad until I get a useful clue from the first hour. The best first setup on Raccoon Mountain Reservoir is a simple one around one easy-to-read section of water, and I would leave it alone until I get a clear read from the first hour.
I would approach Raccoon Mountain Reservoir by choosing one promising part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change depth before changing every bait after I find a repeatable bite in the opening stretch. If I get a useful answer from the opening stretch, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward part of the lake properly on Raccoon Mountain Reservoir. If I see enough in the opening stretch, I would make a note of what happened around one sheltered part of the lake and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Raccoon Mountain Reservoir.
