Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 15, 2017 Global Moderator Posted April 15, 2017 How far are you wanting to drive? Quote
bagofdonuts Posted April 15, 2017 Posted April 15, 2017 Kentucky Lake. Headed there myself on Wednesday. Water is rising bass are moving shallow and catching them out of the flooded yellow flowers is lots of fun. Not many lakes you can catch trophy largemouth, smallmouth, and spots. We stay at ky beach resort in blood river area, nothing fancy but they have a nice protected bay and docks with electrical hook ups. Quote
Super User .ghoti. Posted April 15, 2017 Super User Posted April 15, 2017 Pickwick is an easy drive for you. The state park, with marina, is a fine place to stay. 1 Quote

Noticed the state line runs right down the middle of the lake for part of it. 9 hours ago, .ghoti. said: Pickwick is an easy drive for you. The state park, with marina, is a fine place to stay. Adding this to the list. Looks nice. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 16, 2017 Global Moderator Posted April 16, 2017 I'd be headed to Kentucky or Pickwick. Never fished either and always wanted to. Quote

Noticed the state line runs right down the middle of the lake for part of it. A ky or tn license should work, its considered shared waters for the most part. Here's the link that will explain it in more detail http://fw.ky.gov/FishBoatGuide/Documents/1718fishboatguideentire.pdf Quote
