What are some good spots on Pickwick Lake?
Based on the video context, it seems that Pickwick Lake is experiencing flood conditions. During flood conditions, it's important to find clear water to fish in. Look for areas with current breaks, such as lay downs, rocks, docks, or stumps, where the fish can get out of the strong current. These areas can provide shelter for the bass and make it easier to catch them.
Additionally, the video mentions that during the flush, which is when a lot of water is coming into the system, the fish tend to set up on current breaks. So, focusing on these areas can be productive during this time.
Another tip mentioned in the videos is to look for pockets with creek channels running into them. These areas can be good for bass fishing, especially during the spawn. The video also suggests targeting shallow grass near the creek channels and even going deeper into the grass if necessary.
It's worth noting that the video mentions the importance of finding areas where you can access the bank during the spawn. This can limit the areas where the fish can go and make it easier to target them.
Finally, the video talks about fishing dams and road beds. Dams can be productive fishing spots, especially the high side of the dam. Road beds, which are underwater structures, can also hold bass throughout the year, particularly in the winter and summer months.
Overall, when fishing Pickwick Lake during flood conditions, focus on finding clear water, current breaks, pockets with creek channels, and areas with grass or road beds. These areas can provide good opportunities to catch bass.

Find Good Bass Fishing Spots! (Spring & Winter Tips) [Bill Lowen's Flood Water Pro Secrets] by The Bass University → you heard me say during the flush we have a tremendous amount of water coming into the system and I'm going to use Lake Pickwick for example okay yeah the water got extremely high when practice started the lake was six foot low when we started the event it was eight foot high okay but we didn't have a lot of dirty water because most of that came in from another system came in from Lake Wilson and places like that above Pickwick okay so even though we had flood conditions and we had high water we had a lot of fishable water because it wasn't dirty okay and that's the big key is trying to find especially that time of year trying to find clear water okay that's why I say the flush is the easiest one to fish because we have a lot of options we have a lot of Clean Water Okay so kind of remember that with the flush okay so where do we start during the flush okay to me that like I said the flush is the easiest thing to fish because we have so many options and those fish are going to set up on what I call current breaks okay when that flood happens and Rises all right and remember this this is so important typically 99 of the time when the water rises the fish go with it when the water falls they go with it it's almost like tidal

How to Fish Lakes You've Never Been To | Bass Fishing Tips by Fish the Moment → really good looking spot I found during my map study and all it is is a pocket with a creek channel running into it and there's actually a secondary creek channel that cuts off right here and it comes into this little creek and this is one of the few places that could actually get to the bank on peckerwood today because the lake was so flooded and I really like to find areas where I can get to the bank during the spawn because it really limits the area that those fish can get in but unfortunately I didn't get any bites there and so I moved on and I started fishing down some of the shallow grass that was right next to that creek channel and didn't get any bites and then I decided to actually go a little bit deeper into that grass as well so I tied on announcing the quarter weight and started pitching way back in those reeds and the read still had two to three feet of water in him and so I think there was some fish in him and I really think there were sufficient even further back where I couldn't get my bait but that didn't work and so finally I decided to move out to some isolated bushes in the mouth this pockets that again were close to that creek channel and there were in two to three feet of water and they

How To Break Down Any Lake And Start Catching Fish! by TacticalBassin → all right guys I'm gonna give you a little bit of an update on what we figured out because again we have no information on this place thankfully we do have a little bit of mapping on this place it's basic it's like 10 foot contour lines but they do seem to be relatively accurate which at least helps us quickly identify a spot or two but we've caught a bunch of fish now and we've definitely identified that the best fish are coming from very similar places so let me show you take a look at the map here hopefully you can see it we just went around this little island top we caught a good one right here in this pocket you can see our track then this Waypoint up here right in the bend of this main Lake Point that Waypoint is where we caught three good ones back to back and then that good one Tim caught on a popper was right here in this Bend what it looks like now the tips of each one of those main Lake places we caught small fish but the best fish seemed to be right in those bends right in those pockets and the spots that have multiple fish are the spots that have grass growing in that pocket not to the surface mind you subsurface grass just emergent grass coming up but the spots where there's grass in that bend
