Bass trip early November

I want to plan a 3-4 day bass fishing trip for early November, roughly November 2-6. Possibly interested in fishing lakes along the Tennessee River, but not tied to only those. I've fished Kentucky/Barkley and most of the lake in KY quite a bit and thinking of heading south into Tenn or Alabama to try new waters. Never been to Guntersville, Wheeler, Wilson, Pickwick, Chickamauga.

I'm flexible for those dates and would be willing travel up to about 8 hours from Central KY.

Where would you go? What would be your recommendation on which lake for those dates? And why?

I know I'm asking alot but looking to venture out. Thanks to all those who reply.

Guntersville could be good........

If you really don't have to plan it today, and you're open, I'd watch the reports closely the next few weeks and try to see where the lakes are with regards to fall transition. If you hit it right, you can pound fish in the grass at guntersville.

Likewise, if you hit it right, you can get into tons and tons of schoolies bustin shad on KY and Barkley.

It just depends.

I think Bassmaster had an article on how good Pickwick has become rated it pretty high, this should be a good time for those small mouths.

St Clair in Michigan. Bring your long Johns and get ready for some big ol' Smallie Action!!
