Anyone fishing it? 557 entries last I heard. Ledges will be packed. I went down there and practiced yesterday, caught a bunch of fish but nothing over 3lbs. Boats everywhere especially to be a Wednesday.

No, but I just don't see why they picked Pickwick to host it. It fishes so small this time of year.
Gotta remember Pickwick is 50 miles long. I'd be below Wilson as soon as I could get there to catch a quick limit. Spend rest of day looking for a few kickers
Yes. You have to have a Humminbird or Minn Kota product on your boat to fish it. My Ultrex makes me eligible to fish.
Little bit different format, hourly weigh ins from 7am-2pm they 10 places each hour for the biggest bass weighed in. Biggest bass overall of the 2 day tournament takes home $50,000.
That's where I'd be any other tournament but this is a different style tournament. Hourly weigh ins from 7am-2pm and the only weigh in site is at pickwick landing state park on the other end of the lake. Can't justify making that run more than one time in one day.
First day I lost a 6+ first thing, caught several fish but struggled to get a big bite. 2nd day I switched it up and ended up having a pretty good day, caught a ton of fish and weighed in a 4.31 smallmouth and a 3.41 smallmouth. I made a little money with that bigger one. My buddy's little brother caught a 7.41 largemouth the 2nd day and ended up winning big bass of the event, took home $50,000.
We fished it, it was a fun event, but man was it crowed. Had a really big one break off, and had a big one follow a glide bait out from under a dock but never commit. Other than that we didn't have much luck but caught several smaller fish.
Looking forward to it next year. Kind of hope they do it earlier in the year though instead of ledge time. I love ledge fishing, but you put that many boats on the water it's tough.
