My son and I went to Lake Chatuge today, altogether a fairly decent day. Not many bites but quality spotted bass bites. Water Temp 56 degrees. Heres a few pictures of my son holding up our best catches.

<font color="#6600ff">BP202,,,,very nice pictures of some quality fish...  what did you catch'um on and how deep???  Fished a Tx up there several years ago and it was without a doubt the worst day and I can still remember the day....It snowed,the wind blew, the sun shined, it rained,  it sleated and it snowed again... awful....I did catch 3 fish and place 3rd...but don't think it was worth it.  Had to go to the dr next day...flu.

All the Smallmouth was crossed out with the Spot's,That's what happens in a shallow Lake.Sometimes they look like smallmouth until you look real good and see that faint line deep in the skin!!! But it made Chatuge a very good lake for Largemouth and Spots

I have never been on the lake before. Where would you put in?How shallow is the lake? How deep is it at the dam?

go to hayesville NC, there are plenty of ramps to choose from, ledford's chapel is the ramp to use now. get on 64 east and stay on it until you get to hayesville, as you're going through hayesville, you will see the ramp signs on the right side of the road and also the lake. normal depth is 125 feet at the dam, it's at 118 now. lots of shallow clay points and hundreds of docks all over the lake. lot's of nice fish
