Re: Moving out! (to pikeville)
top waters work and will be able to go over some snaggy spots where they're hiding, spinnerbaits work well for that too. sturdy gear to get them away from snags. I usually start with buzz baits or spinnerbaits just cause it's so much easier to deal with a single hook or even with a stinger hook. plugs work better sometimes though.
late spring is great, early fall too, but you can catch them pretty much any time of year. there's a lot in the 25-32" range but you have to be prepared for a 35-40 incher.
also if you do wading be careful it's very muddy, you can go into hip deep mud off the edge or worse! I just stay on the shore in the small sections and put the jon boat into the medium sized sections, no wading for me on that river.
