Lake Chickamauga-- Time of year

Hey All,

Me and a buddy are planning a mid-week trip next year to Lake Chickamauga but can't decide on what time of year to go. We are strictly catch and release bass fishermen. We fish out of a small 17'6 fiberglass boat so I'm a little unsure about the weather on the lake. We fish Kentucky Lake a lot but it gets very questionable with any wind on a small boat.

What time of year would you recommend knowing this? March/April-- flip for spawning fish but questionable weather and low lake levels. Wait until May/June and try to target post spawn bass? I'm just curious to what you guys think. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I want to try and go at a time where we could catch some good numbers and maybe a shot a big bass. (Like every bass fishermen in the world ha).
