I spent 10 years in Middle Tennessee and loved it. Good fishing and good living. And the water doesn't get hard in the winter.
I am starting to think about retiring and relocating. As far as crappie lakes go, where should I consider. I want to die with a fishing rod in my hand I just want to relax and fish. No keeping track of 6 rods at once, or feeling like fishing is work in any way. Not watch a clock because I'm on a time limit. A pole in one hand and a cold beverage in the other. I think you get the idea.

I do love Tennessee. I do love the mountains, and no ice, no scrapers, etc. SOLD (unless there's a higher bidder of course)
Live somewhere off of I-55 in the middle of The Big 4 in Northern Mississippi. Slab crappie and southern hospitality!

For fishing and all things outdoors, except hunting, I am partial to Florida. South Carolina low country would be my second choice. Of course then there is Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky, along the Mississippi river. Wife would like West Virginia.

All my buddies that are retired are way busier now than they were when the were putting in 40 hours a week! Better move away from family lol. Im working my retired step-father to death right now hahaha. But you can also bet i will be there to take care of him when he can no longer do it anymore.
I've lived on the Alabama coast all my life so I don't know any different but I have salt water, brackish water and fresh water all within 30 to 40 minutes. That's gulf, bay, delta, rivers, and lakes. Kinda warm in the summer though. And we do have the whitest beaches in the world and freshest seafood.
Every day is a holiday and every meal is a picnic.
D4D mentioned taxes.. Kentucky exempts Social Security benefits from state income taxes, and it allows residents to exclude up to $41,110 per person in retirement income from a wide variety of sources, including public and private pensions and annuities.
And here in western Kentucky we never really went through the housing boom and bust so real estate prices are not outrageous. You can still buy houses around here with 10 - 20 or 30 acres for reasonable money.
