John, There are several of us fishing the Fishers of Men trail Bama NW there this weekend. If you can hold off till after this Sat 3-10 we can help you.

Do you have a GOOD lake map? I have my map scanned into jpeg's I can send you that might help. The lake is still at winter pool (3-4 ft down). She should be coming up by then and the fish are in pre-spawn right now with water temps at 55 right now. I did find some water at 61 this weekend but this cold front coming later this week should not that back some.

I will email you those map scans and some info.

Thanks so much Kerry!!! I have two differant lake map and both are good but differant. 55 degrees is pretty good. I will await your report. Again thank you so much.

One of the better maps of the Tn river system is made by Atlantic Mapping. That is the one I have. I know the BFL had a T there this last weekend when I was pre-fishing, either Bama or Choo Choo div. You can look at results, 108 boat field, 5 bags over 20 but last spot paid was 21st and weight dropped to 13+ilbs. I know one of the 20lbs sacks came from locking up one lake to Wilson. I had 27lbs couple weeks fishing Wilson lake. But dont think that will hold up. I think 15-20lbs a day would be real good.

I will gladly share with ya what I can. Should be alot of rattlebaits and spinnerbaits and some flipping if water comes up. Are you going out of Mcfarland Park in Florence or down river?

Thanks so much for your help we will be going out of florence at Mcfarland Park. I am wondering what the smallies will be doing? I am ready for anything. My strengths is finesse fishing drop shot, shakey head, football jig on bottom, but I am able to adapt well to anything. Again thanks again Kerry I am going to look at the map you mentioned and see if it is what I have if not I will get one. Take care

I want to personally thanks kerry201Pro and Eric B. thanks for all the help. I had a very enjoyable time at pickwick lake and can't wait to wack them again. I didn't do very well I finished 9th my buddy won it fishing right next to me in the horseshoe. You guys were right about the spinnerbait that is what we all caught fish on I just couldn't figure out how the fish wanted it until end of the first day and I caught an ok limit the second day 13.55lb. Thank you guys so much for what you have showed me and taught me. It means the world to me. I have never learned so much in one week of fishing and I have never caught smallies like that before and it was such a blast. The weather sucked the fishing was tough but man was it 7 days of fun.. Thanks again guys!!!!John Dubois

We had a GREAT time at Pickwick would have stayed another week but you know how it is... I DID NOT figure out the fishing at the dam but did come up with a 10 lb and 18 lb bag of deep water fish about 3/4 of the way down the river

Glad we could help.
