spinnerbaitalways Posted January 12, 2011 Posted January 12, 2011 Pickwick above and below the dam!!! Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted January 12, 2011 Super User Posted January 12, 2011 Pickwick below Wilson Dam; all of Pickwick and below the dam; Kentucky Lake. Most of the smallmouth will be 3-4lbs, an occasional 5 or 6 and with a little luck, a big fish or two! Generally, numbers are not great but 15-20 is possible. Our best day for quantity was 35 between two guys. Best for quality, 15 with 8 over 5 lbs. My partner caught the biggest smallie in November, 2004: 10 lbs even (netted and weighed by me!) The fish in my avatar were caught below Pickwick Dam in January 2005. Here is a piece you might find interesting: http://www.bassresource.com/fishing/smallmouth_record.html 8-) Quote

fishin_fool Posted January 28, 2011 Posted January 28, 2011 Kentucky lake pickwick and dale hollow Quote
Super User 5bass Posted January 30, 2011 Super User Posted January 30, 2011 not really SE but smith mountain in VA is awesome! Smith Mtn has a decent smallmouth population but if I were looking to catch a bunch of smallies and have good odds of catching some really good ones, I wouldn't choose Smith Mtn for this. I'd go further south to Pickwick where the smallmouth are plentiful. Quote
bankerbasser Posted February 1, 2011 Posted February 1, 2011 Pickwick, Pickwick and Pickwick. Oh and Pickwick, too ! Quote
tcain38 Posted February 13, 2011 Posted February 13, 2011 I live in Southeast Kentucky and I fish Laurel River Lake. This is probably the most over looked lake in Kentucky for smallmouth because you have Dale Hollow and Lake Cumberland. I fish the lake a lot and it is full of smallmouth. Tourneys starting Feb. all the way through mid May are won with hudge bags of smallmouth, I talking it takes like 27 and 28 pounds of fish. While spring is the best time to catch the smallmouth you can still catch be fish in the summer. I also work at Grove Marina on Laurel River Lake and my boss and his partener won a night tourney with four smallmouth over 20 inches and a 16 in. spot that was a big as a football. Its an awesome lake to fish. Quote
MFBAB Posted February 14, 2011 Posted February 14, 2011 Pickwick, really the whole TN river from Wheeler dam to KY lake has a lot of Smallies. Quote
