I live in tupelo,ms. now but I grew up fishing around Bartlett , Tn . Shelby Farms has some ponds that were fishable in the 80s. I used to fish some ponds off Hwy 70 near Canada rd. The Hatchie Wildlife Refuge is located 45 minutes up 40 east near Brownsville, Tn. and has a lot of small oxbows that I fished a lot once I got my DL. You need a scamp or small boat for those. They do not have great bank acess. There are also Some old bar pits around Brownsville Road in Bartlett although I didn't fish them much. We threw a lot of top water baits and plastics in the summer time. Top water early and late in the day. Hope this helps.

I hope they don't do the same at Pickwick. We are starting to get some good grass after several years of very little grass. About 4 or 5 years ago it was some of the best top water I have ever experienced because of the grass. The next year it just disappeared. Started coming back pretty good last year. Is realy coming on strong this year dispite high water and current. I fish Natchez bridge to Tn. Dam. I've wondered when they spray east of us like at guntersville if it effects us at Pickwick .

I have caught a couple while fishing Pickwick lake. I fish it a lot over the last 5 years and have caught only 2. Mix between spot and small mouth. One was small the other about 2 lbs
