Pickwick Lake in May

From massive Pickwick Lakes upper lake headwaters, to the lower lakes deeper creeks, the fishing is exceptional for smallmouth bass, spotted bass and largemouth bass in May. May is often noted as "the" topwater month. But on Pickwick Lake, May also shows bass holding in areas that brought them shallow a few months ago, as they leave the shallow water and head back to deeper water, usually around the first week of June.

During these transition times try fishing midlake areas, far back up in creeks, or midways, around first and secondary creek points. Fish with deepdiving Excaliber Fat Free shad crankbaits in midtodeep running models. Spro's crankbait 25 series in baby bass colors are also excellent running crankbaits. Jerkbaits always generate a few strikes from all species of bass during May.

Some bass, suspending away from the bank, will nail fast, erratic retrieves with these injured baitfish imitating lures. These anxious and hungry fish can be enticed with fast, erratic stopandgo retrieves. Try Trilene Big Game 1015 lb. test monofilament line on these jerkbaits, along with other floating model jerkbaits. Storm's Suspend Dots and Suspend Strips will make floating model jerkbait lures suspend. Experiment, for every lure takes different amounts of added weight to attain perfect suspending qualities.

Pickwick lakes lower end has lots of grass and in Spring, like on other Tennessee River lakes, lure choice can vary. Buzzbaits, spinnerbaits, shallowrunning crankbaits, rattletraps, super spots, floating worms, lizards, soft jerkbaits, frogs and rats, all bring surprising results. Try these and other lures in and around, the many varieties of grass, that bass inhabit on Pickwick Lake
