    Late March in Tennessee...

    Took the last week of March off to come to Tennessee for big Bass. What lake am I going to get the most Bass bang for my bucks? Some in mind are Dale Hollow, Reelfoot, Kentucky, Chickamauga, Pickwick (below Wilson Dam)... Thanks for the advice!

    For Chick late March will be OK for numbers, but the big ones have come and gone.

    I caught a 10lber and had a 33lb bag last week of march last year on the Chick. They were starting to spawn. I will be back there again this year the last week of march. Last year they had an Open in April and they were several large bass caught off the bed.

    If you go to Chick, we might see you. My boy and I will be down there for Spring Break before his baseball season starts.

    Be aware that Ky lake is still at summer pool in March. Stay in the buoys.
    Might want to bring some jerkbaits.

    What I don't understand is ky lake is way up, and they're still running all the dams on the east side of the state wfo when we haven't gotten as much rain as the west side. Chickamauga is lower than it has been in 3 years and they aren't closing the dams. You'd think they'd hold a little
