: PICKWICK LAKE:
Pickwick Lake elevation: 411 ft. with water temps in the low 60s. The bass reports have been inconsistent over the past week, its been feast or famine for most folks. The shad have moved to the backs of almost every cove and creek. If you can find a cove with some bass chasing, you can load the boat in a hurry. If you dont find bass chasing shad in the backs of the creeks, the bite can be a little slow elsewhere. Topwater baits, rattletraps and spinnerbaits are all producing in the shallow areas but dont put down the topwater bait until later in the a.m. River ledges and deep points are still holding fewer but quality bass. A few deep holes are still holding bass in the 3 lb plus range. Best baits are Carolina-rigged plastics, suspending jerkbaits, and heavy football jigs. Crappie anglers are still hitting the deeper water in the creeks with some success. Best areas are Yellow Creek, Bear Creek and Indian Creek. Best water depths were 20 to 25 ft with crappie minnows out producing jigs. The catfish bite is fair right now. Anglers are catching fish on trotlines and rod-n-reels along the old river channel.
