When are you going Roadwarrior?

Driving down to Florence, AL on Friday, fishing all day Saturday and maybe Sunday morning.

Monday is Presidents Day. I may fish below Pickwick Dam then.

Your a lucky man!!! Good luck in your adventure and bring back some pictures.

Hey Kent, I will be fishing the river Sunday, and will give you a report on what to expect!

You know I don't like to waste time on green fish this time of year, but with all that's

happening right now, I'm refocused, at least for this weekend!

Well I'm back with a vengence against those brown fish.....started last weekend! They were the right color, just not the right size or species!

Jeff

that is a big fear..... with so many new people going to Pickwick (i never been but will this year HOPE) how many people will mount/eat the lucker they were lucky enough to land.......

seen/heard many lakes get LOTS of attention, only to be 5 years later not be able to catch shorts.

Very few lunkers will be caught and eaten. The "lucky" fishermen don't catch many big bass.

Driving down to Florence, AL on Friday, fishing all day Saturday and maybe Sunday morning.

Monday is Presidents Day. I may fish below Pickwick Dam then.

I plan on being below the dam or above it not sure yet. But will be bass fishing one of those Monday.

If you need a ride let me know.

I cant believe you would even take pictures, let alone post pictures of such small fish on this forum!!! :respect-059: Those are all MAN fish! Congrats guys!

Jeff

Green fish, brown fish & even silver/striped fish. WTG Kent.

WOW !

Those Stripers must have been a BLAST ~

Looks like FUN! Great catch!

Live bait? I fished the barge canal and Cypress creek Saturday. I also drifted the bank in front of McFarland. I guess I am gonna have to buy a cast net and learn to use it. Great day! And for what it is worth, the few bass that I caught were extremly healthy. While I did not have a great trip, I had a good one. If you can get on Pickwick in cool to cold weather at all I would highly recommend it.

All of our fish were caught on a Johnson Silver Minnow fished as the center lure on an Alabama Rig.

Thanks, I have used the Silver Minnow before with success, but I have not used the Alabama Rig yet. But I guess that is next.

Holy moly Kent!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to our trip to Guntersville. You will make my day look "average".

I have never seen four 10's and a kicker!

RW,

Were you fishing with all 5 hooks on that rig below the dam? I assumed that Tennessee laws were enforced over there and that anglers could only use 3 hooks. Do you know which is correct? I'm planning on fishing below the dam tomorrow and am going to try using an A-rig (and others). Would you mind telling me what pattern you were fishing? Water temp, depth, retrieval, structure, etc... And possibly include any GPS cords?

Thanks!

He was fishing Wilson dam on pickwick. 5 arms allowed. Above pickwick dam is 3 arms only until you hit Mississippi water.

Jeff

10-4... I thought he was below Pickwick dam and I was going to hit it up tomorrow, but it looks like below Wilson is hotter. What do you think? (Thanks Jeff!)
