This is crappie fishing stripped to its core—no frills, no filler, just you, the water, and a shot at a fish worth remembering. If you’re chasing a true slab over 3 pounds, Jamison’s 8-hour guided hunt on Pickwick Lake is where you put in the work.

Pickwick’s deep ledges, fast-moving currents, and underwater structure create the perfect battleground for giant crappie. It’s not easy—but that’s exactly what makes it worth it. Jamison’s been doing this...

About Your Trip

This is crappie fishing stripped to its core—no frills, no filler, just you, the water, and a shot at a fish worth remembering. If you’re chasing a true slab over 3 pounds, Jamison’s 8-hour guided hunt on Pickwick Lake is where you put in the work.

Pickwick’s deep ledges, fast-moving currents, and underwater structure create the perfect battleground for giant crappie. It’s not easy—but that’s exactly what makes it worth it. Jamison’s been doing this for decades. He knows where they hide, when they move, and what it takes to pull them out.

You’ll be running a fully kitted-out boat loaded with serious tech—everything fine-tuned for one job: finding fish. Vertical jigging, live bait, or whatever the day calls for—Jamison adjusts the game plan on the fly to keep you locked in.

This isn’t a drift-and-wait type of trip. You’ll be scanning structure, hopping spots, watching screens, and staying sharp. The payoff? A chance at the kind of crappie most anglers only hear about

Each trip's price is determined by the guide and reflects all associated costs. A significant factor in pricing is often the type of boat and the corresponding fuel expenses.
