how's pickwick doing

[psvec]

Topwater can still be good around grass.
4 in lizard on smallies pumkinseed,plum 8 in worms or lizzies for largies c rigged around ledges'
since your a non boater cant pick the water,if hes using something that works ask for one

Thanks so much for the advice. i will use it.

You also will need a bama license,while Reciprocal with tn just doesnt cover enough water,its 18 in on smallies in tn and 14 in bama.
And yes on any of the tn river chain a fall pattern is a spinner bait around isolated grass balls.Still a fair amount of grass left but they are starting to work .Check my report out ky lake.Frog on decent days or frog colored spook just out from the grass,water temp mid 60s.
If jumps present hard to beat an alabama rig.

Thanks so much for your help, i came in 22 place and got a check, missed the cut by a pound. first day had 4 for 6.7. caught some on a home made jig and spook, crankbait. stayed on pickwick the first day, second day my new boater wanted to fish the tail traces of the wilson dam. didnt caught anything there. so we fished some bluffs caught 3 keepers there for 6.5. by boater had 5 for a little over 7 pounds. i caught by biggest bass on a jig.
