Shakkin to Sucess on Pickwick!

Featured Replies

Well it's been a busy couple of weeks so I'm finally getting around to post about the Pickwick extravaganza! My old man and I arrived late Monday night to our Cabin to a tall shadowy figure who I swear to god said "How ya doing Pilgrim" . I was just about jumped out of boots with "Oh **** it's John Wayne!". Of course it wasn't but rather the long lanky figure of Long Mike. It wasn't long as we got settled in and we were impressed. Guys I'm not kidding this place is beautiful. The cabins were absolutely amazing and I didn't hear a peep of snoring from Long Mike and RW.

The next morning my dad and I hit the lake with my new GPS and spots loaded up! Our fist stop was Panther and man was it fun! We moved off the bank some because there were some serious rain the day before but we didn't feel the fish had moved up into it yet. So we did some work with some electronics found some nice breaks in 10-15ft of water that had some brush on it. Well my dad busted out a shacky work for the fist time in is life I do believe and I threw a tube. Well we weren't there 5 min and he had a 4-1 fish ratio on me so I switched to a shacky head and didn't take it off the entire trip! Here are some picks from that spot. We must have caugh 20 or more fish on that spot before we moved.

We then North to some rock ledge that the river channel ran up against. It got deep really quick and the key was to throw that worm right up against the the rock an you would get bit. I will always remember this area because it's where I caught my first Small Mouth.
