Anyone fish Pickwick last w/end? 

I didn't but there may be a good chance me going this weekend, but it's dependent on the weather. If I do go I'll post a report.

I went Sun and loaded up my GPS w/ brushpiles but didn't have time to fish.  The WT was 39-41 that day and there were still a lot of floaters and birds hanging around, hopefully we'll get a little warm weather and that will pass soon.  I was marking a lot of bait and fish in the 20-30 foot zone off of points at creek mouths all day. 

You staying at the river or you going to the lake sides.

I was above the dam, Yellow, Panther, Dry Cr area.  I don't think things are any better below the dam, one of RW's buddies is a guide over there and I'm pretty sure they told us they blanked on Smallies in the tailrace Saturday before last on live bait, that is depressing. 

We probably putting in at JP Coleman or Goat Island but by the way you're putting it, Indian and Yellow maybe a bad idea.

I don't want to discourage you, maybe someone will chime in with a better outlook, but I fished it Sat before last and talked to several other people and the best 2 reports I've heard are 3 fish for 2 guys we met at the ramp, I met 2 guys there last Sat who said they had caught 6 the w/end before w/ no keepers, and had 0 that day, RW and I only had 1 keeper, every other report I heard was a shutout.  I plan on fishing close to home the next couple of weeks until the weather warms a little and Pickwick gets back on track. Another thing, if we get this snow and rain the next couple of days there may be a shallow bite up in the back of Yellow or Indian somewhere, you never know   Let us know what ya'll do anyway.

Zeroed this past weekend.  Gotta tourney this weekend and with water temps at 37-41 i am out of ideas.  any input on what to do would be appreciated.

If you get past the shad kill...

Bandit 100, 200 or 300

Dad changed his mind.......sense I'm along for the ride I can't really dispute haha. We are probably going to lower lake of Sardis for crappie but I'll try for bass for bit and let u guys know if I get lucky.

Some buddies of mine have been pounding them for a couple of weeks spider rigging minners around the channel and on flats right above the dam, good luck. 

I'm headed to Pickwick mid morning tomorrow. Not expecting much, doing as much looking offshore as fishing. Prob throw jerkbait, jigs, biffle hardhead jig, etc. I'll post what I learn tomorrow night.

Fished PW on Saturday from 10 till 2.  Hit main lake points and secondary points from JP Coleman to Yellow Creek, water temps 41 to 44 later in the day.  Threw jerkbaits, jigs, shakey head, crankbait to no avail.  Shad kill still happening.  It was beautiful with snow on shady banks, sunshine and very little wind at times.  I'm ready for spring !

Went to Lower Lake of Sardis and nadda. We only caught 10 crappie between us and no bass. Should of been spider rigging.

We got warmer weather all week, if you go by the formula of averaging the highs and lows for previous 3 days, this Saturday should show WT's in the 50's somewhere.  Kent, you busy?

Hello to all -

I am new to this forum and fish Pickwick, well, as much as my job, my kids, and wife allow.     I live 16 minutes from the lake. 

Hoping to get back out there on Friday - will report afterwards. 

If we can get an "all clear" report on the shad

kill, I'm up for Saturday. However, I don't want

to just practice casting again!

Makes me feel better about not being able to go this w/end, I bet we'll have a few reports next week though. 

Opted to Crappie Fish Indian and Bear Creek today - S - L - O - W. Plenty of fat Seagulls. Water temps varied from 47-49.
