Welcome Ozzie. You got a few years on me but I understand how life gets in the way of fishing. It's been about 40 years for me since I've fished seriously. I'm 66. Just getting back to it this year. I've got very modest fishing gear but it's new. Enjoy fishing when you can and enjoy the FS knuckleheads.
Words to live by.

I'm in eastern TN. In Strawberry Plains. Just outside of Sevierville. The Smokies are about 40 minutes from me if you are going to the park. Cherokee area isn't too far from me as the crow flies.

Sorry. Not familiar with area. I'm sure if the lakes are similar there to east TN, you should have some good luck. Crappie and bass hit in March and April if the weather is right.

To be honest with you, I'm not sure I've done enough fishing to advise you. I guess from what I've learned, minnows for crappie and white or chartreuse spinner baits for bass in March and April. Check with a local bait shop. They can be very helpful.
