NoAl Chapter sign up here to fish Pickwick on August 16th.

If nothing don't happen, I'm going up there tonight and fish below Wilson Dam, maybe catch a few stripes. I'm hoping to be able to stay thru the morning but don't know if I can make it that long. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

Ive spent a lot of time catfishing there and have caught a lot of cats and some stripe, but I think I have only caught 1 or 2 bass there over the years.

I hear you. I absolutely hated the lake until last year. I started spending more time down there and have really gotten to where I like it a lot now. I fish most Thursday nights down there.

today was the best day Ive had on Picwick, we caught fish everywhere we stoped even one huge stripe, Terry wore me out though with a few 3 lbrs or better, our best time was actually 1:30 to about 2:15,we had to quit to see if we make the run back to ramp in 45 minutes. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif

WOW! Sounds like quite a day, Tommy! http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif

Hopefully the bite will be on next Saturday, too. You are fishing next Saturday, aren't you?!? http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/stirthepot.gif

If everything goes right, i hope i can drag Tommy along with me.

We fished the Upper end and only caught a few dinks. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/doh.gif

If history is true with pickwick and me next time Im there I won't catch a thing. My dad used go up one day and come back with a cooler full of stripe and Id go with him the next day and not catch a thing. Hey I didnt know pickwick had grass or whatever it is like wheeler and guntersville. Terry I can go but I don't think can throw a hot pink worm dipped in chartruse, it just don't seem right. But if it catches the fish Ill work the net.

Hot pink huh? The plaid colored helicopter lures seemed to work best for us. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif

Allright! ya'll laugh at my pink worm, but you'll see, it works,

I usually fish with the southern guys when I can, but if you all will let me tag along, sign me up. Not sure about the partner yet. My brother-in-law may fish with me.

Thanks,

Steve

Hey Guys I thought I had a partner but it didn't pan out. If I can find a ride with one of the ya'll I'll be there.

Congrats on the good day. http://xs-s.com/zf/images/smile/emthup.gif With a 45 minute run you're running at least down to Waterloo or further. That could get expensive. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/sick.gif

And there is grass and a lot of it down there. It's getting better and better. I've only fished down that far a couple of times in the spring when the grass was just starting to grow. Is it actually on top now?

I will watch the weather for-cast for sat., if its windy i probably would run that far.this past sat it was calm all day. According to the locals the big bass are not attached to the grass yet as they should but its getting better, 2 of our bigger ones came off grass, the rest was other stuff.

Hey Tommy!! SHHHHHHHH!!! Don't tell them where i used the worm at.

Sorry to have to do this guys but I'm gonna have to bail on this tourney. My boater didn't pan out and some other things have come up in the last day or two that is going to keep me from attending.

Sorry to hear that, Paul. Maybe next month..... http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/ohwell.gif

Maybe, I may have a ABA Tourney on the 14th not sure yet. Anyway I'll be looking to see the results from pickwick. I want to see if Terry and that worm he's fishing comes out on top http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/popcorn.gif

Just don't hold your breath Paul, it's Tommy or Avery you have to worry about not me.

is the north end ramp the closet to you as you come in? the fartherst from the river i guess you could say or in the back of the marina
