Me and my son Cole went today got there about 6:30am and fished until 9:30 We fished from the bank beside the boat ram and we caught 4 small catfish on shrimp and 1 Bream. Caught a pretty big Coooter too that was a fun fight. He was about 16-20" long. As soon as the sun came over the trees the bites quit. The water level is down pretty good but the guys putting boats in had no problems with the ramp

OK I thought someone would drop a hint so I didn't have to show my ignorance but no one has, so.....Where the Sam Hill is Pick Hill. Never heard of it. :dono
on the broad river near Pinkneyvile S.C. :Rofl probably don't have pinkneyville spelled right but that's where its at :biggrin
ever heard of 99 dam? pick hill is the pool 99 dam has backed up :)
need more info? I am sure somebody else will have some for you sense I'm out :dono
Its not far from Smyrna SC. Has a small boat landing and a couple spots to fish from the bank. 99 Dam is on one side and Cherokee Falls on the other side of the back water.
Well learn something new every day, die and forget it all. :Doh: I never knew this existed, thanks for the post.

Don't feel bad Ray. I lived up that way for 65 years and thought I knew every cow track and mud puddle big enough to drop a worm in and I had never heard of Pick Hill. I ain't too old to learn.
Do they have small mouths in there?:popcorn
Yes. Up in the river.Quote:

Yes, I hadn't been down there in 10 years, but its not but 15 to 18 feet deep, if it hadn't changed. used to be full of crappie,Quote:

The state record muskie was caught in the broad river just up from there
When I fished there a lot, I would see them near the bank, I saw one caught there. I've never fished for them.Quote:

Me too. If someone told me they were catching Musky I'd figured it was a big Chain Pickerel(Jackfish). I know some were stocked in Lake Lure up at Chimney Rock in the 40s when all the rich Yankees were coming to Lake Lure for vacations and summer homes, but don't know how they got in the rivers. They call it the fish of a 1000 casts so they must be hard to catch in their native lakes.
I have caught a bunch of Northern Pike and why anyone would fish for them is beyond me. They are nasty smelling, slimy, and don't taste good either. Did I leave anything out?
SeaRay, Broad River runs through Lake Lure, then it meets up with Green River which runs through Lake Adger, My understanding is Both lakes are stocked with them, Broad River runs right behind my house, They have caught a good many here in the river, they got through the dam some how. I have seen them here in the river, but never have fished for them. I seen one one day while I was bass fishing in the river, Tried everything I had , but he wouldn't touch it, I hit him with a bait, he just move over, wouldn't have anything to do with me!
My Florida fishing buddy used to live up in that area. We floated the Green River several times in his canoe. Caught some beautiful panfish and some bass. Never kept any but always a neat float. He lived in Green Creek or something close to that, been awhile though.
