James ... you "might" consider Watts Bar Lake in E. Tenn. Plenty of docks to fish. But, seems like every year the fish are doing something different than the previous years, so success rates can vary widely. Tenn forum is not much help, as there are not many members posting about this lake. Chickamauga Lake is South of Watts Bar, and runs down to Chattanooga. Plenty of guys posting about it on Tenn forum, and many of them are very willing to help show members around or point them in the right direction.
OR, you might consider going to Weiss, anyway ... and shooting docks or casting the banks. No law says you HAVE to long line troll !! Depending on the weather & water level/conditions, that time frame (mid Mar - mid Apr) may be better for dock shooting/casting. Plenty of current info can be found on the Ala forum.
