Started the weekend at Glenn Springs on Thurs and ended it at Pickwick for the weekend. Thursday, I only caught 3 fish, but no real size. One about 3 lbs and the others about 2 a piece on T-rigged worms. Went to the in-laws this weekend and took the boat and fished Pickwick and had a ball, til the party-goers ran us off the water! Finally caught a smallie and a decent one at that! I've only caught one other one in my life and it was like 12-13 inches. This joker was 19.5 inches, but skinny. Only weighed like 3.3 lbs. Caught this fish on an 1/8 oz. shaky head worm in junebug color on a rocky point where it entered a little cut and had some chunk rock blend into pea gravel. Talk about some acrobatic little suckers! I've never had a fish jump and tail walk across the water like smallies do. I'm hooked, I tell ya. That 3 lb. smallie fought just as hard as any 5-6 lb. Largemouth I've ever caught. Talk about fun on a spinning rod with 8 lb. test. Anyhow, we caught a ton of bass on Crankbaits in yellow creek as well as baby brush hogs down near the mouth of the Tombigbee. Caught a 4.5 lb Largemouth, but wouldn't you know the camera batteries went dead. I managed a few pics of the smallie before the batteries died.

Yes it was. When that afternoon sun finally broke through the clouds we roasted in that boat.

Oh yeah...The sun was hot, too! Don't seem to notice it as much when you're catching fish, but when you get a lull in the action, you feel like jumpin overboard!

When its hot is when I GO! I usually have the whole lake to my self!! I caught a small smallmouth last week on a white fat free shad. And caught a 17in one today trolling behind the pontoon with a dd22,with I THINK 1,000 PARTY-IN SPEED BOATS ALL AROUND!

Sounds about like Pickwick! We tried to night fish and got ran off the water at 9:00 p.m. with a hefty T-storm. We put back in in at 5:00 a.m. and was outta there by 10 when the party people came out. I like throwin towards jetskiers, that have no courtesy at all, with DD22's and C-rigs!

Congrats man.
If you really want to get into some fun, go down to Pickwick and slow roll a 3/4-1oz colorado spinnerbait at night right now. Good way to get your arm broke. There is nothing in my opinion that compares to a big smallmouth spinnerbait strike.

Thanks username. I'll hafta try it. Never really fished strictly for smallies at all. Heck, I'm still gettin used to the rocky nature of Pickwick. I'm used to lots of hydrilla and tons of standing timber everywhere. I love the lake, just wished I knew more about fishing for smallies and what to look for, and I wished I knew the lake alot better than I do.
