What color crankbait works on Pickwick Lake?
Based on the video context from the first video, it seems that the color "Mellow Yellow" is a great choice for bass fishing on Pickwick Lake. The angler in the video mentions that it is a color that works year-round and is their new favorite. However, it's always a good idea to have a variety of colors in your tackle box to experiment with and see what the fish are responding to on any given day. Different colors may work better depending on the time of year, water clarity, and forage availability.
In the second video, the angler mentions that in clear water conditions, black and chartreuse and Purple Sage are go-to colors. So, if the water on Pickwick Lake is clear, these colors could also be effective.
Unfortunately, the third and fourth videos do not provide specific information about crankbait colors for Pickwick Lake. Therefore, it's best to rely on the information from the first two videos.
Remember, fishing can be unpredictable, and what works one day may not work the next. It's always a good idea to experiment with different colors and techniques to see what the bass are biting on.

Choosing Bass Fishing Crankbait Colors by Wired2Fish → early in the spring when the fish first start
to get out. Also we've got Sneaky Blue and I've done really well late post-spawn on all
the Tennessee River lakes (Kentucky Lake, Lake Guntersville, Pickwick). That's also
a great color. My new favorite is called Mellow Yellow, which will be out any day and be in
the stores right now. It's a great looking color. This is probably a color that if you
had to pick one color that would work year round; the Mellow Yellow would probably be
the one I would go to. Then later in the summer when the water gets real clear and doesn't
have much current flow the Nasty Herring is a real good color. It doesn't put off a lot
of flash, its not a real overbearing color, it's a real natural color, and works good
by fooling a lot of fish. But those are some of the colors and some of the times I like
to use them. You should check them out! The Spro Fat Papa 70.
