I'd say fish both... but I did hear they have a new 12 step program for Nickajack addicts..... that lake is finicky at best. But if you know where to go, it can be very good to you.

When you're on the water pay close attention to where the boars are sitting. Always be courtious and keep your distance (50 yards or more) But sometimes watching is as helpful as fishing.
Most fishermen are glad to give advice or flat out brag. When you get a chance, pick their brains, Good luck! And be careful in unfamiliar water!

Pretty good advice i guess? but nobody has answered your question. If you are going to Nickajack or Guntersville. Fish the coves. It is spring man. Throw a spinnerbait or rattletrap, lizard etc. The fish are moving to the pockets and banks. Look for areas with a hard bottom. You cant expect to go and whack a 25lb sack without spending alot of time on the water. Yes, you can run into a school on accident but truly learning the lakes takes alot of time. Go to Mullins Cove, Bennetts Lake, Browns lake, Mudd Creek, Jones Cove they are community areas that give up good fish. Jump in there and start flinging. Your chances at a big old toad are as good as anybody's. For the next several weeks, fish will be pulling up. Big, medium and small ones. If you will spend more time learning the areas rather than observing others, you will be much better off. I have caught alot of good fish this spring by just being patient and making alot of casts (most of the time in used water because everyone that has a boat loves this time of the year) including myself. Time on the water is the only answer. Do not depend on anyone but you and your fishing buddy. As you have seen so far, nobody will tell you exactly where to go. The beauty of it is that this time of the year, you can go and catch em without any help. If you will stay persistent, you will catch em. Crod

Great advice Crod, shoot I learned something!

Fellow's Crod really has given you the best advice. Most of the guys on here are tourney fisherman who have already put in their time learning usually without much help. Therefore they are not to willing to give up their possible money holes All of the places that Crod advised you on get a good lake map and study those he named. They are usually very productive area's. When it comes to what to fish with, throw what you are comfortable with and throw it a lot. Every fisherman is a little different on the lures that work for them. It really is going to take time. For Instance I recently went on vacation at goose pond. Spent three days learning trying and getting skunked all three days. However the fourth day I figured out a pattern that work for me and kick some serious tale. I took consistency and patience. Good luck to you.

Oh yes one other thing!!!!!!! All of those places Crod mentioned can be boat killers if you don't know how to run them, be sure to exercise caution. It is easier to just go fishing again than it is to repair your boat
