Hey, I am planning a trip to Pickwick to fish for Bass (large or small), below the dam next Saturday 11/5. I recently moved to Southaven from Indiana and have not been there on my own yet. I would like someone who has some experience there so I dont get myself in trouble. I have done fairly well finding fish on other local lakes, but 2 fishing is always better than 1. I would leave early Saturday morning and arrive back after dark. Have boat, will travel.... some gas $$ would be nice but let me know what is possible. Thanks

I'd sign up now, but Saturdays are tough for me....work! Big football games that day as well, but someone will take you up on the offer, probably RW. He's been there lots and a good guy to fish with!

Hey man pm sent

Be careful of fishing with Roadwarrior. For some reason he has a fetish about stealing boat plugs. I'm not sure what he does with them, but I lost two the last time I fished with him. You will know that he's been up to his tricks when your boat starts taking on water for no apparent reason. The best cure is to have him fish from the front deck with you. That way you can keep an eye on him.

Man, I want to fish with RW too. I'll ask to take his boat I guess.

lynyrdsky1 has signed up to go this weekend. We will post on our day, hope they want to bite for us. Sooo excited to get back on that water!

Well, he had to cancel. Spot is back open. Please contact me if you can go. Thanks

I'll be there, too!

I'm fishing with my friend and Pickwick guide, Speedy Madewell.

Stop by and say hi! We are fishing from a 2180 BayRanger, white

with blue trim.

This weekend we caught smallmouth, largemouth and

spots. Our best bronzeback was around 4lbs, 3 1/4 lb

largemouth and 2-3 lb Kentucky bass. Probably around

twenty bass, a dozen cats and a couple of drum.

:D

Uh oh...somebody made a river trip! Good to hear the report! I knew you had a drum in your future!

jeff

I'll be there, too!

River shiners would be my best guess.

Jeff

the fishing was horribly awesome. caught my new pb smallie at a fat 4 lbs. and a 6 lb blue cat. lost a nice striper and a few more bass on the way in. fished 930 -1 .im still pumped over my 4 lb. smallie

Heck yeah! Thats what I'm talking about. Beautiful coloring to that smallie! Great job man

Live or artificial bait?

That might be the prettiest smallmouth I have ever seen.

Congratulations!

:Applause:

Mallard, that thing is beautiful! Congrats on the new pb! Was there any other fish caught that day?

Jeff

live shiners. out in the channel. thought i was hung up until i felt the head shake. thought it was a big cat because it hugged the bottom for 4 minutes after that. then shot up like a rocket. my dad was on the phone with his biggest client so i had to net the fish alone cant believe i got it in. when i went to put a minnow onto my rig after i released the fish the hook fell off. lucky i guess.

i tried a little bit of everywhere. messed around mostly after the big fish. made the drift from the lock to the second power lines on that side and drift from the botel to the powerlines with only that one fish caught. a couple more loss. unknown type. then tried the current seam right against the dam where the water gets let out and thats where dad lost a striper and i started chunking a crank and had a few follows and bites from white bass or stripers. then drifted over to that area with three deadmans over by the lock. that catfish were thick by the only concrete one. other boats catching too.but we were bass fishing not catfishing so we drifted from the botel to the powerlines again without a nibble. Didnt see many fish caught overall. saw one bass boat working the bank right under the first powerlines. lots of cat fisherman

oh and marked alot of fish around 3 feet deep in 12-15 ft and think they could have been smallies. saw a few smallies jump clear out of the water. can you say topwater bite?

seat is still open. I have changed my plans to launch from JP Coleman. Had another back out. Message me today if interested in going

Sunday would be a maybe for me, but Saturday is a no-go!

Jeff

Only going Saturday this time. In a couple weeks I will got for Sat and Sun. I will let you know

Going it alone again..... looks to be a good day and they are pulling major water

Good luck and let us know!

Jeff

yesterday was good. much better than tuesday as far as numbers. we caught a few smallies so im sure that means RW caught 30-40 :lol: caught some spots, largemouth, whitebass, bream, and a bunch of drum including my PB at 15 lbs :P they didnt seem to be on fire but river wasnt really that busy. didnt get on the water until 10ish due to the fog. lots of fun. thanks for introducing me and helping me learn this RW, its helped me spend alot of time with my dad.

Congrats again, and I wanna go now! RW???? How many did ya'll catch?

Jeff

I went from around 1 till dark today below the dam. I caught 2 catfish and 1 decent smallmouth that weighed close to 3 lbs drifting minnows. When it got closer to dark I caught about 5 largemouth on a top water popper and my first smallmouth on top water. They were all around 2 lbs but were still fun to catch.
