Im going on a 3wk long road trip to unwind from work beginning next week. Any tips for the stated bodies of water? I grew up fishing Lanier so no worries there. Never been to chick but understand their winter patterns, a rig, trap, crank, chatter bait, swimbait etc on channel swings and transitions. I know nothing about Tims Ford other than giant smallmouth, any help here would be appreciated! Big G should fish similar to Chick.

Shallow shallow shallow on chick and big G is what I'm hearing. Be ready for big crowds on those two lakes also, Tim's Ford should be much more peaceful. I've never seen it though
