Lake Chickamauga
 

I'm looking to make a long day trip there. Anyone have any info on a good place to launch from? Having never been there I'd like to kinda plan the trip the best I can

Kayak right?

Chester Frost will put you in Dallas Bay.
Also another "kayak" launch is at the back of Savanah Bay.
Harrison Bay and Wolftever are also decent launch areas.

I plan to take my boat this trip. 17' Basstracker

chesterfrost, skull island, wolftever. Harrison bay can get a tad shallow for powerboat at winter pool.

Grasshopper is pretty good, if you are looking at upper lake.

i have only ever fished it in the summer. Its a great frog and buzzbait lake.

its on my list O Lakes to fish. I was scouting some areas earlier this year to fish but never went, hard not to fish Gville since I know it. If you google WMI fishing reports and then choose TN I think there is a recent fishing report from that lake.

This lake is on my list of lakes to fish too, from the kayak. It's not too bad of a drive for me but I'd like to do a bit of research on it so I come prepared. Sure wouldn't mind getting pulled around by one of those 10 pounders in there.

Ya might try messaging the guys from Fishin Affliction on facebook....they have done a show or 2 there and might be able to steer you in the right direction. Dan is pretty good about messaging back from my experience.

Contact Rogne Brown. He is the best guide on the Chick and he is the one that was winning tournaments last winter with 40+lb sacks.

I am headed there in the morning with my brother. Will be leaving gallatin around 4:30. Putting in at Chester Frost.

Good luck and we will be watching for report.

Good luck, be safe!

Chicamauga is on my bucket list this (2014) year,

after reading this post it sounds like we need to make a group trip to chicamauga

I'm in, let's get the kayaks and go. It's on my list for 2014 but I'd like to get some to go along. I'd say mid April should be prime time.
