Last spring, I went to Chickamauga and the rain really killed any chance for a consistent bite. Kinda burned me as it's so river-like where I fished (upper end from Bluewater to Sale Creek.) I also wouldn't mind trying something with a little less fishing pressure (or is it about the same as Chickamauga?)
Can anyone tell me what the lake is like? Predominent cover; water clarity; how well it's insulated from being blown out from lots of rain; bass populations, etc?
It's down to Chickamauga, Lake Chatuge or Watts Bar for us. I really enjoyed Chatuge but if we go there, I feel like we'd pretty much be limited to spotted bass. Not a bad thing as I had a blast catching 20 spots a day two summers ago and they were mostly 12-19" but I would probably prefer fishing a place that has a chance for a good largemouth and decent numbers.
Thanks in advance for any guidance you guys can provide me to help me make a decision.
