This link shows a picture of the lake and a brief description. Research shows the lake has an abundance of spotted bass in the 1-1.5lb range. There is a 14in minimum on the Largemouth. Georgia has a reciprocal license agreement with Alabama: meaning you can fish all points
on the lake with an Alabama license

PICKWICK LAKE
There are a lot of hotels in Florence, Al. we
could use but I went ahead and chose the following state park.
JP Coleman
State Park: 613 County Road 321, Iuka, Mississippi 38852 Drive time: 7hrs 12 min, 403 miles, (using Pensacola in Google maps),
Cost: calculated at 12mpg, total cost at $3.20 a gallon, round trip would be
$215
This State
park is similar to that one we stayed at Wilson, cabins sleep four, and are
65-75 a day.
There is a
launch at the park.
I’m sure we will have to run cords much like
we did at Wilson for boat recharging.
Here is the
link to the state park website-
