New from Northern Ohio

[RangerTim]

A guy on Bass Boat Central told me about this site. I saw that he was from Hixson so I asked him a few questions about Chickamauga. And he suggested that I join here too. So here I am. Most of my fishing is done in Michigan and Lake ST Clair and Lake Erie chasing Smallmouth. We fish for Walleye on Erie as well. We are heading down to Chick for the Christmas holiday. Fished there 2 years ago with a guide for 2 days. This time I am towing my own boat down. Hoping to catch some Largemouth but after reading all the reports about the Crappie fishing. I think we are going to have to give that a try as well. Is there a bait store near Island Cove Marina to get minnows? Or maybe they have some there. Never done the shooting docks thing so I think we will just stick with minnows under a float....lol

Any how just thought I would introduce myself

HWY 58 sport shop is within 1/2 mile of Island Cove and has minnows - good guy that runs it and he is always helpful. I just moved to this area about a year ago so I am still learning too - I live near Island Cove and keep my boat there in the winter - send me a PM if you need anything while you are here.
