Nickel Branch definitely. It would be better for tourneys for all the reasons mentioned and for other fisherman as well being close to the canal and access to both lakes. I can't imagine why you would destroy the wooded area of Gobbler's Knob when there is already access at Nickel that could just be renovated and expanded. I hope this works out. I don't really like the Kuttawa/Lyon Co. ramp for big tourneys and there aren't any other ramps on Barkley suitable for a 150+ boat tourney.
