Its a good lake, but to be honest it does not live up to the hype and the fish will be shallow there in April! This will make it tough to get to them without a smaller boat. This is a flooded timber lake, be careful. Pickwick has to be closer to you as is probably Guntersville and maybe Weiss. Just trying to help!

Bear Creek is tough to beat in April on Pickwick! Try the Buzzard Roost area or Airplane Hollow!
This is dead on, great advice!
