We'll be prepared for the cold, which Lake Cherokee needs. My intel source from there says that the lake is still too warm, but a good cold snap should help get the fish more active. I had a couple of buddies go up last week on a scouting mission and they did not catch a fish in 4 days of fishing. They said that the lake surface temp was around 71℉ which is high for this time of the year there. But we're coming regardless, we come up there once in the spring and then always the first week in November.
Sorry to derail your thread...
