    Pickwick Lake Elevation 410
    Water Temp. 44

    BASS
    The cold and rainy weather has slowed down some of my fishing trips over the
    past few weeks. I fished under windy conditions Monday because but the water
    was so muddy I had to look for places to fish. I had to disregard the
    dramatic weather changes and fish like I normally would for this time of
    year. Using the same baits and methods I would in the past worked out fine
    for me now even under these crazy weather changes. To catch bass I had to
    stay shallow and although I did not catch anything big in shallow water I
    did catch a good number of fish. I fished along river banks, cranking
    Strike King Series 3 crank baits real slow to catch the majority of
    bass.This is actually a good time of year to catch a really big fish on
    these baits using these methods if you can stand the weather.

    White bass
    White bass continue to bite. I have caught them mostly on grubs and small
    crank baits while bass fishing. Some banks will just have more white bass
    than large mouths and small mouths, these banks tend to be gravel banks and
    sandy banks. The areas I have caught a good number of white bass in have
    been between the Dam and Savannah, I would not put much faith in catching
    them in the lake right now.

    Stripers
    Stripers remain tough. I do not expect to catch a large number of stripers
    right now but they will start biting real soon. I do not start really
    striper fishing until mid to late March.

    Sauger
    Sauger have been really tough. With the muddy water I believe the more
    productive areas are in deeper water, These deeper water areas are usually
    good anytime sauger are biting anyway I just put more faith in the deeper
    water bites when the river is as muddy as it is now. Dark colored sauger
    jigs seemed to work better. I often check deeper depths and more shallow
    depths to check to see if they are more productive.
