Florence, Alabama is home to Pickwick Lake, but it’s also home to so much more and we wanted to find out what else Florence had to offer.   We spent some time today out exploring the area. Our first stop was at the Florence-Lauderdale Tourism and Visitor Center.

Will it be won on ledges again or will another pattern prevail?

Pickwick Lake is famous for it’s summertime ledge fishing. Many anglers spend hours in practice just idling around looking for one or two schools of fish on the famous Pickwick ledges in hopes of those schools leading them to the victory.

However, we’ve seen some schools in the past find shallow fish that have kept them in contention and in fact only one or two bites from the win. With this recent cooler weather will there be more fish shallow this year than in the past? Will this year be the year someone unlocks the shallow bite or perhaps finds a set of docks in a marina that leads them to the win? It will be worth watching as the week unfolds.
