smallmouths like to spawn,
and I’ll fish those with a Reel
N’ Shad by casting the lure to
the shallow water and bump-
ing it along the bottom all the
way out to 6 to 8 feet deep.
I’ll also crawl the lure along
the bottom on these points,
stopping the bait every now
and then to make sure I have
contact with the bottom.
Also, I’ll cast a Mann’s
C-4 crankbait in a crawfish
color on these points with
a medium-diving crank-
bait using a Pinnacle rod
and a 6.3:1 gear ratio reel.
Smallmouths feed on craw-
fish, plus they don’t want
crawfish getting in their beds.
The third lure I’ll fish is
a Mann’s green pumpkin
HardNose lizard rigged
Carolina style. I’ll keep my
boat in about 8 to 10 feet of
water, because many of those
main river points come out
significantly from the bank.
Before the bass go on their
beds, they’ll hold in 5- to
6-foot-deep water. So, I can
move my lure through the
areas where the bass are
spawning out to where the
bass are staging before the
spawn.
You’ll also catch large-
mouths and spots on these
points.Fish the dam for fun
When current is being pulled
through Wilson Dam at the
headwaters of Pickwick Lake,
you can catch a wide variety
of fish — and a lot of them
— using the Reel N’ Shad on
an Alabama rig. You’ll catch
smallmouths, largemouths,
spotted bass, stripers, white
and yellow bass, hybrids, cat-
fish, drum and just about any
other fish that swims in the
tailrace. With two anglers in
a boat, you should be able to
catch a mixed bag of 25 to 50
fish per man per day. ■COUNTY ACRES PER ACRE COUNTY ACRES PER ACRE
