cant find the dadgum crappie here on pickwick :( fished from 13 to 25 fow and I wore out the green carp :( and 1 barely keeper crappie. water temp at 85 and it seems as tho the water was a lot warm last year when I start crankin. very few bait balls and none on top of water. new colors didnt produce for me :( oh well the season is young :)
so true maachuu....the season is young!
I laughed, I cried. A true American trajedy. Two thumbs up.

Yea ya'll are still a little cooler than we are down here
If I lived on Pickwick, I wouldn't be crappie fishin
Well what would you be doin then?
carpin
You and me both, I'd be a Smallmouf hunter. Biggest one I ever caught was 3.5lbs and I thought the thing was going to break my reel and rod and put a hole in my boat before it was over. Excitin'! Caught about 15 one AM in 62 foot of water fishing a Pop-R. Jokers would run out of 30' and hit it like an overloaded freight train with bad brakes.

Smallies are a blast. Heck of a fight... Don't the have some big stripes up there too?
Any time I head to Pickwick all I can think about is bass fishing. I have had the best day of fishing in my life, one morning at secret spot #2, somewhere on Pickwick. 3 people fishing in the boat and we caught one on every cast. Tripled from 6:30 till 11:00 then quit for the day. Probably caught 150-200 on that spot between all 3 of us. My buddy caught a 6 pound smallie to start out and then nothing but largemouth after that. Most were in the 1.5 -2.0 pound range, but about every hour or so someone would catch one that would bump 5 pounds or so.
I was pumped, called my bro and met him up there the next morning at daybreak and I think we got 3 bites.
I love catchin the carp when they're bustin on shad on these oxbows, nothin like it... I hope to make a trip to pickwick this summer. Buddy has a cabin up there, and I just might have to fish and skip out on the skiing and green cuppin
Somehow.....I just don't see that happening, lolRoflQuote:

Now the water is low and they only pull current when demand is high for electricity during the hottest part of the day and thats almost the only time you can catch anything! Who wants to fish 100 degree days!!!! Not me!!! I know some folks catching the cats good closer to Wilson Dam...but, they fishing the hottest part of the day also!!!Quote:

If roger is saying that, it must be a bit slow
Maachuu I will be sitting on Pickwick early Sun morning.. I need a better report than this.. I have grand plans of shooting a video on hand pole crappie fishing that morning..
I talked to a guy from Ecru Saturday that caught 900 lbs. of blue cat the day before at Pickwick.Quote:

I must have no idea how to catfish if everybody else is wearing em out!!
Gotta go to the river side when the heat sets in....
The generators were also wide open today. Will be the same tomorrow from 2-8 pm. Guess I need to go during the heat of the day!
