Pickwick Lake Elevation 410
Water Temp. 50


BASS
I have been on a few fishing trips above and below the Pickwick Dam lately and while some trips have produced big fish and a few small ones to go with it some trips have not produced any bass at all but we are likely to catch some other species. Grassy areas in the lake are still producing good fish at time although the grass is dying right now. Texas rigged Strike King tube baits and jigs have accounted for most of the fish we have caught. Black has been a good color for me as well as green pumpkin. The weather getting colder will make bass fishing tough over the next few weeks but this is still a time where you are likely to catch the biggest fish of the year.


Stripers
If I was to take someone striper fishing right now I would depend on a deep diving Strike King 6XD crankbait to keep the trip interesting. Although I know you can have a good day on live bait and jigs drifting right now, I would not try it first.

Catfish
After talking to a few catfishermen while I was on a sauger fishing trip I was told that catfishing is still more productive right now. And after a few slow days of sauger fishing I think I would have been better off cat fishing. Most catfishermen are using worms bought out of bait stores in deep water.

Sauger
I love to eat sauger like everyone else but it has been a little slow. I have been fishing with a plastic grub on a sauger jig bouncing it in fifty feet of water.
