alot of the same--drop shooting is good and slugo's and big tube jigs least that's what we used mostly. Of course cranks, pig and jig, plastic worms work too.
Pretty much the same as green carp--just a diff. presentation I guess.

Big tubes on 1/4 jig head. Rubber leg jigs with trailer and lots of guys fish a float and fly in winter. Your hair jigs under a teardrop float 8-12 ft down drifted around bluff banks

Get yourself a 1/2 to 3/4 oz purple and black skirt spinnerbait with the biggest black colorado blade you can find. Start at daybreak on the point to the right of the Pickwick Landing Marina entrance and work down the swimming areas to the riprap and down the riprap toward the dam. Repeat at dusk and you will see some brown fish. If you can find some big shiners at the local bait shop, drifting below the dam is always fun but wrong time of year to see many smallies.

Thanks a bunch Joel.

You are Welcome Scott, I'm going to do my best to be up there some for camp but with our StJude benefit Motorcycle show and ride going on it will be tough for me other than maybe Friday night and Sunday morning, Saturday is usually from daylight till after dark for me on this day but it's something I feel really strong about!
