“This tournament is probably going to fish a lot like the Kentucky Lake event,” said AMP pro Stetson Blaylock of Benton, Ark. “It’s a Tennessee River lake, so guys are going to fish ledges and drops, but I think there will be quite a few more shallow fish on Pickwick.”
The Walmart FLW Tour on Pickwick Lake presented by AMP will be in Florence, Ala., just three and a half hours from Atlanta, July 21-24 for the eight event of the season, this is also the final qualifying event for the 2011 Forrest Wood Cup.
