Tackle shop around Watts Bar

[Luke]

So where are the good tackle shops around Watts Bar?
Planning on being down there for a week and go to the classic also but I always like to find a local tackle shop in the area.

The two closest are Dayton boat dock, Michael Neal's place. The other is Fish Tales in Cleveland. Both carry extensive assortments. Not familiar with shops toward the north end of Watts.

Nice thanks fellas.
So where are some good places to eat also

What part of town is your lodging? If out west, we like Connor's and Chesapeake's. Chesapeake's also has a location downtown. A little less expensive would be one of the Aubrey's locations. Cracker Barrel breakfast is pretty hard to beat. Plenty of options all over town. Hope you all have a great trip.

Try Edgemoor Outdoors if you are near the north side of Knoxville (994 Edgemoor Road Clinton TN 37716 8659459981). It is about 12 to 15 miles from the interstate and is worth the trip.

Tank's, Georgetown Road, Cleveland, Tn. I love that place.

The AirBNB we have found we like is around the Bayside Marina area.
We will probably stay on Watts bar for most all of the week and will drive up to Knoxville on Sat to go to the classic take off then to the Expo.
