Wishin I lived on Pickwick

My friend and I made a 4 day trip to Pickwick...18th-21st. We stayed at Grand Harbor and fished from there to the bridge. The fishing was unbelieveable. We caught 40 to 50 largemouth a day. Most were in the 2 to 4 pound class. We had a couple about 6. Only 4 smallmouth...3 were about 3 pounds each and 1 smaller. Also had 4 sauger and approximately 20 or so whites and stripes.
I posted this as a heads up to those who fish this lake regularly. The fish were 12 to 18 feet deep on humps, river ledges, and ridges. They were readily visible on a graph. We fished spoons, cr's, DD 22's, Poes 400's, and jigs. To those of you who fish this lake, I salute you. It is one fantastic fishery. I wish the 'hooch had this type of fishing now. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/crying.gif

That is very impressive, indeed! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif

Unfortunately, I can't even catch a cold on Pickwick and it's only 10 minutes away. I'm sure I could do just as well fishing in a mudhole in the back yard. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif

Yep, my fishing partner is a member of the Bandit Pro Staff and stays at the owner's cabin on the lake periodically. He really worked at figuring out the deep pattern on the lake. We both fish Eufaula quite often and it is very similar to the big water on Pickwick. Unfortunately Eufaula is a shadow of its former self. Too bad it is a 5 hour drive for us.

Have I got a deal for you. Looks like I'll be leaving for other pastures. Sell you a fresh and totally remodeled home on PW. I hate to leave, but will be within the next year. Mail me a check, I'll move into the RV.
Never been skunked on PW, Caught lots of LM and spots. Have not caught a smallie yet.
Good luck in your new home.
