Sam Parker, a guide from Florence, Alabama, on the Tennessee River, has a foolproof way to catch fish any day you fish with him on Pickwick Lake. "I charge $375 for a 15-hour trip for two people." |
||||||||||
The 15-hour trip starts at dark the night you arrive at Pickwick Lake in northwest Alabama on the Tennessee River. You'll smallmouth fish for five hours and often catch a good mess of smallmouth with a few largemouths mixed in before bedtime. The next morning you're up at daylight fishing the head of Seven Mile Island and the rocks along the old barge canal or wherever else Parker has found smallmouth. That afternoon you can continue to fish for smallmouth and largemouth. Or, if you prefer, you can go to the base of Wilson Dam and catch saltwater stripers. | ||||||||||
Need some catfish for a Friday night fish fry? Then you can fish for cats at some time during your 15-hour trip and take a mess of no-scales to take home to your family. "My 15-hour trip is the best trip I offer," Parker explained. "During that 15 hours, I can guarantee that we will catch fish. If my customer won't tie my hands and is willing to fish for whatever's biting, we'll be able to catch some kind of fish all day long." |
