Thanks CP. I was actually lookin up directions to soddydaisy and yahoo was saying like 5 1/2-6 hrs, dang, thats KY lake distance(im sure like u said it can be cut down). I have to admit tho, I was zoomin' in hard on google Earth last night checking out the lake and those big river docks!!!!:p. Looks like some good fishin but like u said docks are mid to lower lake. I gotta work like crazy after all this rain and before real bad weather sets in but as soon as I get some time off chick sounds like a real sleeper, I checked the tva website surveys and chickamauga was the best for black crappie(and whites too) of all the tva reserviours by a long shot(numbers/size/pressure). I like the fact that it doesnt seem to get tons of pressure for crappie (maybe it does and I just dont know), but seems like a lot of chattanooga ppl bass fish it way more often. It does get drawn down though. Anyways, guess Ill keep dreamin, maybe the river will turn on soon....Wish we had docks up here.
