From the looks of these photos, 2010 is getting off to a great start on Pickwick Lake if you are fishing with the guys at Roger Stegall Professional Guide Service. Gary Harlan and his guest were fishing on March 5 & 6 and were able to land several nice fish, including several nice largemouths and some smallies as well. The weather is still cool, but the fish know what time of year it is and they are starting to move. The water temp is coming up slowly and the fishing is improving daily
Roger and another guest had a good day on March 9, 2010. Roger reports that they caught around 30 fish on that day. These two largemouths were in the 4.5 lb. to 5.5 lb. range and they also had one smallmouth that tipped the scale at 5 lbs. The weather was cold and rainy but the fish were biting so the guys stayed with them. Strike King jerk baits and football head jigs werer the lures of choice on this day.
Daylight savings time starts this weekend and the temps are sure to continue rising as the days get longer.
Spring fishing on Pickwick is some of the best fishing of the year and the slots get filled up pretty fast, so if you have plans to get out to Pickwick and fish with Roger, better go ahead and get your name in the hat. We look for another great season of fishing so make plans to join in on the fun. We look forward to hearing from you soon!
