    Pickwick Lake Elevation 410
    Water Temp. 50
    BASS
    Bass are starting to pick up in numbers in Pickwick Lake. The last few trips have boated a good number of fish. The majority of the fish are in shallow water, on flats in stumpy areas. Cast through these areas with a Red Eye Shad or spinner bait. Suspending jerk baits are working well on shallow ledges and points. As far as fishing below the dam, I have had a lot of luck on small Strike King Series 3 crankbaits and grubs. Below the dam Largemouth Bass and Smallmouth Bass are hit or miss most days but Spotted Bass are constantly biting. The river seems to produce more and more spotted bass each year. Strike King Series 3 and Strike Shad are working well both above and below the dam.

    White bass
    Fish gravel banks in the Shiloh area for white bass with a whit grub or small series 3 crankbait. White bass should be fairly easy to catch throughout the spring.
    Stripers
    Stripers are through out the river and lake, it is just hard to fish for them right now. You can occasionally catch some on Strike King Series 6XD crank baits around the Dam. The good news is that stripers will bite better and better from this point on. Over the next few weeks I expect to see some of the biggest stripers I will see all year and numbers will increase after that.
    Sauger
    A lot of fishermen stop sauger fishing around this time of year either because they think it is over or because they start to bass fishing but this is a great time to go sauger fishing. I usually catch better quality fish and more keepers than I do in the prior months. For some reason it seems like sauger are not as picky when it comes to what you tip your jig with as for as a minnow or some kind of plastic bait so naturally I will chose a plastic bait and it performs well. The standard way of fishing with a sauger jig in water as shallow as 15' and water as deep as 60' will continue to work throughout March. Look forward to catching them on crank baits in the next few weeks.
