Thread: Pickwick Catfish

Friends went saturday below the dam. Spend an hour filling a bucket with skips. Then 3 hours filling a cooler with cats. Were anchored about 75 ft from north rock wall, half way between the dam and ramp.

So how do you catch skip and were ? Would love to go and catch a bunch for bait . Thanks

We used to cast 2-3 jigs into the boil and reel in slow.

whats what we do tcounty

Thanks for the info guys.

Anybody do any fishing for sauger at pickwick? My step father was talking about them the other day, he used to fish below the dam with his dad up there years ago. Said that's the only freshwater fish he preferred over crappie. He ain't a big fishing guy, but loves to hunt. Anyways, I figured it may be nice one day for me to go try to catch him a few, he does like to eat every now and again.. lol. Thanks..

yep, but the rod eyes must be iced to catch them right .That is a cold water fish for sure . Rather have red ear myself though . jmo

10-4 eagle, thanks for the info.. I always take him and my moma a bag or two of crappie fillets when I go visit. He mentioned the saugers being the only thing better in his opinion, I might get a guide to find a few when the temp gets right again. And will look into these red ears...
