Fishing PICKWICK LAKE below WILSON DAM on the TENNESSEE RIVER !!!

Pre spawn fishing on Pickwick Lake for smallmouth bass and other species of fish which include crappie, spotted bass, largemouth bass and hybrid stripe.
In this fishing video I’m fishing Pickwick Lake on the Tennessee River near Muscle Shoals / Florence Alabama. The fishing bait I’m fishing with is a game changer when it comes to catching a boat load of fish for dinner or just fishing for fun.
Hope y’all enjoy.
Thanks for watching Rocky Drake Outdoors, a family friendly KZbin fishing channel.

Great video. . Man I will pay for a day of fishing on Pickwick with you if you're up for it and I have all of my own equipment. I make my own schedule so you name the time. My boat has been broken under my carport 16 months. The last day we had it running and on the water was on Pickwick. We put in in Sheffield and caught a 13.3 lb Largemouth 100 yd in front of Pride Landing boat ramp in Barton. Just let me know, Sir!

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks Steven I greatly appreciate your comment🎣 I don’t have a guiding license I may get it at some point and time in the future. I appreciate you watching and again thank you for your comment 🎣🎣 Congratulations on your 13 lb largemouth bass 🎣

Yes sir Richard Gene The Fishing Machine is a great fisherman and my friend 🎣🎣 Thanks for your comment and I appreciate you watching 🎣

[@Boethius411]

Those brown ones get even bigger below the next dam up. 😬 I don’t know why except there’s a lot more water to cover but the 5 fish strings I catch up on Wilson average at least 2-4 lbs better.

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks for your comment 🎣🎣 I need to fish Wilson lake more 🎣🎣

[@charleywalker2982]

Rocky is it true that Richard Gene the fishing machine hires you to give him fishing lessons and to tell him when the fish are biting???😂😅😊

[@jameswhitworth8487]

Do you guys always use live bait or from time to time do you throw lures

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

I mostly use live bait Ronnie fishes lures sometimes Thanks for your comment and I appreciate you watching 🎣🎣

[@goldenguy62]

Love your content Rocky. Thinking of using your live bait technique to increase my catch ratio. What are you using for weight on that rig?

[@RockyDrakeOutdoors]

Thanks I appreciate you watching and thanks for your comment I just use splits shots . Depending on how swift the current is depends on how much weight to use. Just want them split shots to tickle the bottom. Fishing live bait will definitely increase your catch 🎣🎣

[@goldenguy62]

Just learned that you know one of my neighbors, and good friend Johnny Maxwell. I’ve been learning Wheeler techniques from him lately.
