I have to say for such a small tournament, I'd go to Nolin Lake, the bite this time of year is awesome for topwaters and there isn't mush boat traffic this time of year, most pleasure boaters are done for the year. There isn't any grass in the lake but alot of rock, stickups, laydowns and boat docks to fish.... Great Lake for such a short drive from where your at. They even have Cabins to rent there cloase to the Marina, I believe they cost 85.00 dollars a night. Here is the # if you like to check on the Cabins 1-270-286-4069, cost of $ 3.00 to launch your boat unless you got a Corps of Engineers Launch Pass.:-)
