Buy an "Atlantic" map. They have color coded depth contours which will show you the areas with weeds (BLUE). I would stay in the mid-lake area of Goose Pond Colony. Goose Pond Colony has cabins on the water or Woody's Lodge has cabins near the water. There are a few motels in Scottsboro that accomodate fishermen too. Throw 'traps, suspending jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, crankbaits, and jig 'n pig. It's a great time of year for big bass. At least a half dozen bass over 10 pounds have been caught already this year.
