Possibly going to get to take a little fishing trip the Friday & Saturday after Thanksgiving. Looking at going to either Chick or Cherokee. I've never been on either lake that time of year. Any suggestions?

Neither if the weather doesn't cool off and stay that way to get the fish out of their scattered, no pattern state.
Can't speak for Cherokee, but the fish are certainly scattered on Chick now. Really need some consistent cooler weather and water.Originally Posted by Jb357
Last I heard about Cherokee was if you caught a fish, you had a great day
The same for a lot of people on Chickamauga right now.

Cooler weather is setting in...fishing is getting better on both...not great but better.
Check out the TN bass Fishing . Com web site. They had an open tournament on Cherokee the 28 of Oct. and i think it took around 15 lbs. or so to win.
both lakes were averaging 2 to 3 bites per day the first week of November.water temp was still averaging 65 to 67.very tough fishing but should start improving with the colder temps.good luck
keep working,your neighbor thanks you
went out on Cherokee Monday water temp is mid 50 fish should be biting but its still slow maybe these last few cool days will turn them on. will be going back out this Monday and try I again
Thanks for the help. Looks like we are going to Cherokee. Looking forward to it!
Kyhunter if you would like to fish in our Black Friday tournament out of 25e sign up to the websit then go under 2017 tournaments and sign up to fish . There is no membership dues . Tight lines
I fished Cherokee yesterday. It is dead. I threw until my arm was falling off. You can get a few on live bait. But I don't like live bait fishing. Unless I am crappie fishing. I fished Chickamauga 2 weeks ago. got a few small bass and a lot of big 13 inch crappie.
gonna be friggin cccold, is now ..heater core in my truck busted
& SUCKS to be ME!
Anyone know the water temp for Chick since the cooler weather has come through?
mid to upper 50's last Thursday, mid lake
And they're still not biting?
Was down at chick friday thru sunday - water temps started at 60 and ended at 58 fishing the upper part of the lake. Had one 6lb fish each day and around 12-20 fish total each day. Best luck was on the last day fishing points on main lake river banks with weeds. Most of the fish were less than 10'
