I am taking tomorrow off to chase Smallmouth over a long weekend - finally! Curious what you all think. I'm on the fence between Pickwick, Tim's Ford and Center Hill. I'm saving Dale Hollow for winter time. I know Center Hill well but curious if you think Tim's Ford or Pickwick would be any better for smallmouth? I have yet to fish either of those lakes.

I want to think I could pop a couple bonus walleye with a stick bait after dark at Tim's Ford or Center Hill but I've said that before and struck out (at Center Hill). It'd be fun to find some hybrids busting bait at Tim's Ford.

Maybe at Pickwick if I can't get on smallmouth I can pick through some grass midlake for a couple weenie largemouth.

Any advice is appreciated! I will be sure to post the outcome on Monday.

Here is a link to info about Pickwick. I have followed this guy since 1992 through one media or another.....plus have met him a few times. He is a Smallie guru on Pickwick. Whatever he says you can take it to the bank. If I had to pick one over Center Hill for this weekend it would be Pickwick for Smallies.
