The spillway at Hoover is a good spot for smallies and Saugeye.
Above the dam is too
Alum creek is a decent fishery
Little bit of a drive but Delaware lake is a really good bass fishery.
Even further drive Knox lake arguably has best chance for a lunker largemouth. I think it’s trolling motor only so if you have a canoe or kayak , you are in business.
Not sure about the cats. I don’t target them.

Welcome RBF, I have to agree with Ben, Knox lake is managed for bass by isn’t. They rebuilt the dam/spillway last year. Don’t know how that will affect the fishing, the water was drawn down for quite some time. Looking for cats, I would also suggest Hoover. Good populations of channels and blues, Cut Shad seems to be the bait of choice. Good luck!
