What to pack?

[minnleu]

Coming down from Minnesota (where the ice is 30+ inches thick) next week for LM,SM and SP. Can only bring 4 rods and limited tackle. Will be in the Knoxville area. What do you guys suggest for gear? Did the same trip last year (even posted the same ?) and is worth the few hundred $ gas.

Thanks
Tony

Well what did you bring last year and did it work? Not trying to be a smarta$$ but a little more info will probably be needed by those in the Know.

I know it can change and is diff. from lake to lake but what range are the water temps, high 40's? Your air temps have been all over the board lately making it tough I'm sure. BTW it's -10 here right now, can't wait till next week.
Thanks FA for the earlier response.

On the good side: You just need to come down this way to thaw out.</p>

On the bad side: You have to go back</p>
