Fishing Report
JP Coleman/Pickwick Lake - 8/10/2022 10:52:42 AM| Species | Detail | |
| Bass | The bass bite at Pickwick has been pretty good recently. Some bigger fish are being caught, mostly at around 8-12' deep. Use your electronics to search out the baitfish. If you've found the bait, you've found the bass. Also, the white bass bite has been exceptional recently. | |
| Crappie | The heat is putting a damper on the crappie bite, and not many crappie anglers are available for reports. Mill Creek, Indian Creek, and Yellow Creek are popular areas as anglers are drifting/trolling jigs for suspended fish they found using their electronics. | |
| Catfish | The catfish bite is fair, and most anglers are jug and rod-n-reel fishing. Koolaid flavored chicken and cut/whole shad have been the best baits. | |
