htr, your boat will be fine on most any lake we have. Old Hickery, JPP are great areas close and some of the ramps will put you right in some of the best fishing without a lot on running. JPP has Stewarts Creek not to mention West Fork boat ramps that will do this without putting you out on the bigger water. Tons of good fishing in those areas.

If ya don't mind the drive you have Normandy and Woods south of Nashville as well. I enjoy taking the family to Woods due to area down there. If you want to learn a lot about the lakes over this way and be around a bunch of good folk that enjoy Crappie fishing link up with the Middle Tennessee Crappie Club. The members will be glad to help ya out. Right now we don't fish JPP but hope with new members up this way that will change in the future. Hope to see ya...be glad to help.
