    Pickwick Lake Elevation 414
    Water Temp. 85
    BASS
    If the wind is down and the water is calm a walking top water bait like the Strike King Sexy Dawg will attract a lot of fish in shallow water areas. Walking baits have always worked well on Pickwick. If the water is a little choppy I like to use a Strike King 3 blade buzz bait. After the top water bite is over throw a series 3 crank bait in the same areas you were catching fish on topwater baits. Usually by 9am you will need to move out to deeper water especially if the dam is generating current. Carolina rigging plastic Rage Tail green pumpkin craw fish in 10-15' have accounted for a lot of the deep water bass over the last week. When you see bass actively feeding in deep water it's hard to beat a Strike King Series 6XD.

    Stripers
    Striper fishing has been productive. Early in the morning you can catch a few on the Strike King, King Shad and Wild Shiner Jerk baits. If you can, catch a few small bluegill and use them for live bait. Use a 2 or 3oz weight with the live bait to get your rig to the bottom. Drift from the Dam downstream as far as the powerline crossing and if they are feeding on the bottom you are sure to catch some big stripers!


    Catfish
    The catfish have been really biting. I have caught several catfish on nightcrawlers and cutbait ( from skipjack), fishing in 20' of water with a 1oz jig an 2/0 hook. On all of my catfishing trips lately we lost count of all the small catfish we caught and we also caught several catfish in the 5-10 pound range.

    Below is for the papers posting about my gun business.

    Gun sells have been crazy busy lately. AR15's have been on the top of the list again of course. Both of my stores have been extremely busy and I sold out of all brands of AR's I took to a Nashville gun show last weekend. The good news is I'm able to get several in the $500-$700 range that are great reliable home defense guns. These same models have sold in the past for hundreds more and they are the same rifles that spiked up to $1500+ in late 2012 throughout 2013. I'm often selling out but these are some examples of the AR15 5.55/223's I'm talking about:
    DPMS Oricles $529.99
    Anderson $569.99
    Colt Expanse M4 $659.99 ( now has the forward assist and dust cover)
    Smith MP15 $629.99
    Radical Firearms $579.99
    All of my AR's mentioned have metal receivers and forward assist and dust covers.

    As far as hand guns go, they are still selling great as well. On the lower priced end the Taurus PT111 Millennium M2 is only $249.99 and feels wonderful for a compact gun and functions great. I still have several Smith and Wesson SD9VE's on sale for $299.99 and they come with two 16rd magazines.
    Kimbers are on top of the list because you now can buy a two toned Kimber 1911 45 that's got the looks of $1000+ guns for only $699.99
    The Kimber Stainless II is only $759.99 in 3",4" or5".
