Fishing Report
August 2, 2010
Largemouth Bass are starting to move more from the deep ledges and are moving into the new grass growing on the lake. From Panther creek up thru Alabama on the Alabama side of the lake, there is a good grass starting to top out in area and also growing off the bank out to 8 ft in areas. Fish early morning on small points are on the edge of topped out grass with walking baits such as spooks or Pop-r's for very good action in the first 2-3 hrs. Fish are schooling on new bait fish and keeping an open eye is the key. THey are roaming on these grass lines for shad and often when you catch one, you can catch many more. A little secret bait that when the fish are missing the topwater, thrown a Bandit Footlosse in a white or shad pattern in the same area over and around the grass when they school and it is an excellent way to catch some nice fish around the grass. After the sun gets high, try flipping the outer edge of grass with a big worm or a creature type bait like a Bass Pro Punch Hog or brusshog. These fish normally just bury up or get on hard grass drops and nice fish can be caught this way.
There are still some ledge fish out there deep as there are some that seem to stay out there and these are still on hard places 18-24 ft deep off bars and ridges, but the numbers are down with many fish moving with baitfish to the new grass.
Over the next 2 months, there should be excellent grass fishing on pickwick as it has been late this year to grow with the cold and muddy water this winter, so it should be excellent.
