We fished the ASABFA State Tournament on Pickwick lake this weekend (3 fish limit). We ended up in 27th/208 and had a tough tournament. We had a pretty good day one with 9.77 with our best 3 but only 6.06 on day 2. Most of our fish came up around the dam fishing a freeloader on a 3/16 jighead and a roboworm on a 3/16oz drop shot.

Pickwick can be tough with no current running but fishing stumps can be a good way to catch them this time of year.

We had a really solid day out there fishing main lake and secondary points on the lower end of Wheeler. We caught plenty of fish but no monsters. Our best 5 probably would’ve went 13-14lbs. We caught both large and smallmouth.

The War Eagle spinnerbait that produced best was in the Flash color which I believe has been disontinued. It works really well in all the coosa and tallapoosa river lakes. Hope you can get them to make it again. Bite slowed down after the only two I had broke. But we were still able to win our club tournament.

We caught largemouth early in the grass during the shad spawn with a swim jig and later moved to offshore points and brush piles to catch spots. We caught most of our fish offshore on a jerkbait, minnow, and drop shot. Ended up getting 13th/174 boats with 12.07 pounds. Fun day of fishing.

We caught around 40 fish. Most of them were on a shallow jerkbait in 2-6 ft of water of the breaks of flats. We also caught a few nice ones on a drop shot on docks too.

Lake Eufaula Alabama is on fire right now! 🔥 I caught fish on every spot I pulled into yesterday on just about everything I threw! My best bites came from a 7.5” culprit worm and punching mats!

The fish were holding very tight to wood and would not chase a moving bait. Slower presentations worked best. The key was pitching the jig directly to the base of isolated stumps and letting it fall on semi-slack line. Most bites came on the initial fall, and if a bite didn’t happen within the first few seconds, moving to the next stump was more productive than staying in one area too long. Focus on isolated wood near deeper water or creek channel swings.
