I'm up for up Pickwick.

A little info for those not familiar with the area...

It's located where the TN, MS, and AL state lines converge, literally in the middle of the lake.

All 3 states have a reciprocal agreement, so those folks will all have valid licenses on the lake.

Accomodations - Hardin county TN has Pickwick Landing State Park Inn, Hampton Inn (Pickwick), Little Andy's Motel ( older & less expensive, but caters to fishermen). JP Colman State Park is in Tishomingo county MS.

Campgrounds in Hardin county TN include the TVA campground below the dam, Pickwick Landing State Park above the dam, which is not actually on the water. MS has the goat island camping area, but it is mostly year round folks. Someone else will have to comment on camping at JP Coleman, I don't usually get down there.

Mississippi license are good from Pickwick Dam up to a little past Waterloo bridge in Alabama and up to the railroad trussel in Bear Creek you can't possibly fish it all in a week and there are motels close by also for the ones that don't want cabins or campers or tents. I think Ted (Billbob prefers RoseTrail Campground on the Alabama side) but there are no cabins over there only at Jp Coleman and at Pickwick Landing State Park but Coleman is sorta in the center of everything.

I wished that Mills creek marina would kick out some of the resort campers to give us space. Nice looking place, but no space.
I looked but can't find the map I found last year. Joel posted what it is. I thing TN, MS and AL share the same space.
