Notes: The bass fishing on Pickwick Lake should be excellent. Anglers will likely find catchable fish in winter patterns and early pre-spawn haunts. Lipless crankbaits fished in grass, umbrella rigs fished around main-lake structure and current, crankbaits, jerkbaits, swimbaits and jigs should be popular among the field. Pickwick has been extraordinarily productive the last few years and the winner of this event will likely bring in a five-bass limit over 25 pounds.
Walmart BFL overview
The BFL is a 24-division circuit devoted to weekend anglers, with 120 tournaments throughout the season, five in each division. The top 40 boaters and co-anglers from each division qualify for a regional tournament and are competing to finish in the top six, which then qualifies them for one of the longest-running championships in all of competitive bass fishing – the Walmart BFL All-American presented by Chevy. The 2014 BFL All-American is being held June 5-7 on Wilson Lake in Florence, Ala. Top winners in the BFL can move up to the Rayovac Series or even the Walmart FLW Tour.
