Dad and I were thinking about going down and giving it a try in April, but we've never been there. Anyone have any tips that they'd share. Which end of the lake, water temps that time of year, and any suggestions on a decent place to stay for a couple of nights. Any help would be appreciated!

I would suggest Dayton. Fish Dayton website has a link to accommodations. Blue Water or Sleep Inn, which has power on the parking lot. It is central, and good fishing. April may be spawn time, temps low to mid 60's. Check Chattanooga fishing forum for reports.
Oh ok. I was looking at blue water, the reviews are good. Sounds good thank you for the info. Now just to check and see if I can find a weekend without a BIG tournament.

Good luck with that.Originally Posted by East TN.Hunt-n-Fish
x2. In April, the lake will be packed.
Put us down on the list that wants to find a nice place to stay on the Chick. We typically go (to any lake) for 5~7 days, but do NOT want to stay in a hotel/motel. We prefer a house, with a private dock. Anyone have any ideas along those lines? Anytime from April~June works for us, just as long as school isn't out yet.
Later,
Dixie Chicken
That's kinda what I expect, but I'm hoping that it's a good time of year to get down there

I think May into early June is the best time for the chick (April can be good). Fish will be in all stages of the spawn and that helps to spread the pressure out on the lake. While I live here, and have never stayed at either Sleep Inn or Blue Water, I have heard great things about both. If you want to rent a house, both Airbnb and HomeAway are great options, with the appropriate research.
stayed at bluewater several times...nice place and has a private boat ramp only for people staying there which is never that many
they also built a new cabin that sleep 8
the other cabins sleep 4 and al have a fold out couch for a 5th person
Very good. Thanks for all the input guys!!!
