My wife took the kids to Mississippi for the rest of the week which means...I get to fish again!!!....and I just bought my first bass boat!!!! I am pumped up, geared up, and ready to do this. I am taking the boat on it's maiden voyage with a friend of mine this Saturday and my dad on Sunday. The question is where too? My friend and I have been talking about big strippers for a while and I was thinking that the Cumberland river might be a good choice for Saturday (I've never been to the Cumberland). For Sunday I was thinking maybe Dale Hollow for smallmouth with my dad. But to be honest I have no idea how the bite is in these places right now. I was hoping maybe some of you guys could offer some info or suggestions. I don't get this kind of opportunity to drop a line very often anymore and would love to have some success. Any and all advice appreciated.

I'm off this Friday too and plan to kayak the Caney from the damn to Betty's. If any of you guys want to meet up then let me know.
