So I live in the Suffolk/ Chesapeake area and was curious if anyone could guide me in the right direction to the best / closest body of water I can fish for smallmouth out of my bass boat. I have heard there is a great body of water on the west side of the state but that's a 5 hour trip for me and well if I don't have to travel that far to get some bronze backs in the boat than why travel that far
any and all assistance would be highly appreciated
