Welcome to the Chick, a not so secret Great Lake for crappie and Bass. Some crappie are spawning right now and expect a flurry of shallow fishing around the full moon phase in a few more days. Bobby Garland jigs rule on Chickamauga. Grin. I’m bias though.

Thanks for that info drumking. I am a big fan of Bobby garlands myself! I live about 60 miles north of Knoxville . I keep hearing alot about the wolftever Creek area and also around grasshopper. Grasshopper end is closer to me but what is 30 minutes when your driving over 2 hrs. I guess I'm asking which area would be more forgiving for first time on the lake about finding fish.

IMO, you will have more crappie opportunities around the Wolftever creek area. Very near by are Harrison Bay State Park near Wolftever and Chester Frost Park about 10 minutes away. I know a lot more about this area than Grasshopper, which can be good during the spawning time, but if you bomb out there, you could run directly across the river to Sale Creek and fish that area. It has produced good catches for others, but I haven't done very well there, but I don't fish it much either.

I hope that this info helps you decide where you are going to launch. Grasshopper has a nice dock and a nice $5 fee to launch. It is free launching at Wolftever ramp, HBSP, and CFP.

Thanks for the info drumking.I believe that wolftever area is where I'm going to start.Once again thanks for you response and good information. I will give you a update how we done.
