Cherokee lake

I am going fishing on Cherokee lake in a few weeks and was wondering if anyone has some advice how to catch some fish up there?

Find chunk rocks off of island points in 25-40 fow. Throw 3-4" swimbaits, small carolina rigs, drop shots, and shakeys for smallmouth

Thanks a bunch. I am fishing Co Angler in the BFL up there on the 10th. That will help me know what tackle to use. Do you think green pumpkin and white are good colors

 

[jb366]

Green pumpkin did good the other day. Plum and bullfrog are historically good colors up there

should I rig up a rod with about 6 or 8 lb test?

 

[jb366]

6 or 8 should be fine. Id definitely make sure it's fluoro

Thanks for the info really appreciate it. Now I have to go catch some smallies and hope my boater gets us on some fish.
