Thread: Which lake for striper and crappie in April?

Good morning. Me and the wife try to take a week long fishing trip every year or so to someplace new. We want to come to your neck of the woods and fish for striper and crappie about mid april. Several years ago we took a guided trip on Loudoun and caught several huge stripers, but that is the only time we have fished in your state. Which lake would you recommend for good numbers of stripers and pretty good crappie fishing in April? We like to troll alabama rigs for stripers but can do live bait if needed. I was thinking about Watts Bar but just because I have heard about it more than the other lakes. Any help is greatly appreciated. Also where will the stripers be that time of the year? Around here they head to upper end of the lakes to spawn.

I need to start fishing Watts Bar. It is the next lake up from me
